Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · QA & Testing
In short
Sr. Applications Engineer with FPGA, RTL Design & Emulation expertise needed to provide technical support to global customers using Synopsys emulation and prototyping software. You will troubleshoot issues, work with customers on design migration, deliver training, and collaborate with R&D. Requires a Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering with 1-3 years of relevant experience.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical support to global customers using Synopsys Zebu Emulation and Protocompiler Prototyping software, troubleshooting issues across partitioning, synthesis, place and route, and hardware debug.
- Work directly with customers to migrate their designs to new software releases, ensuring compatibility and resolving any regressions or performance issues that surface.
- Deploy new software features on live customer designs, helping them adopt capabilities like advanced partitioning algorithms, new debug modes, or updated FPGA target support.
- Deliver technical training sessions to customers, ranging from basic tool usage to advanced workflows for multi-FPGA partitioning and hardware-software co-verification.
- Collaborate with Synopsys HAV R&D teams to report customer issues, provide reproducible test cases, and advocate for product improvements based on real-world usage patterns.
- Support pre-sales evaluations by running customer designs through the Synopsys emulation and prototyping flow, demonstrating performance and identifying potential adoption blockers.
- Travel occasionally to customer sites for onsite support, training, or critical issue resolution.
Requirements
- Bachelors in Electronics Engineering with 2-3 years of experience, or Master's in Electronics Engineering with 1-2 years, specifically in emulation or prototyping environments.
- Hands-on experience with logic design and implementation using FPGAs, including synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.
- Strong working knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL, including the ability to read, debug, and modify RTL written by others.
- Practical experience with FPGA architecture and back-end implementation flows, including understanding of resource utilization, clock domain crossing, and design partitioning.
Desired Qualifications
- Exposure to Xilinx or Altera synthesis tools is a plus, as is familiarity with Synopsys Prototyping or Emulation hardware and software.
- Experience with interface protocols like PCIe, AXI, UART, or I2C is a plus, particularly in the context of hardware-software integration.
- Scripting experience in Python, Tcl, or shell is desirable for automating workflows and analyzing log files.
- Ability to take a vague customer complaint and turn it into a specific, reproducible issue.
- Calm demeanor under pressure and focus on problem-solving.
- Comfort working across time zones and managing multiple customer issues in parallel.
- Willingness to dig through synthesis logs, waveform dumps, or FPGA utilization reports.
- Ability to explain complex technical tradeoffs clearly.
- Openness to occasional travel for customer support, training, or onsite troubleshooting.
Benefits
- Join Synopsys Technical Sales Group (TSG) as part of the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) team.
- Work alongside expert-level field engineers who support customers globally on Zebu Emulation and Protocompiler Prototyping solutions.
- Collaborate with engineers across geographies and gain exposure to Synopsys HAV hardware platforms as part of your technical development.
- Be part of a company that values talented people of every background and ensures they feel valued and supported to do their best work.
