In short
Synopsys is seeking a Staff Engineer in Applications Engineering in Seoul, South Korea. This role involves direct customer engagement to address signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC challenges using ANSYS tools, providing technical support, and influencing product roadmaps. The ideal candidate has a strong background in electromagnetics and hands-on experience with simulation software.
Responsibilities
- Engage directly with customers working on chip, package, and PCB designs to diagnose signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC challenges and recommend the right simulation approach using ANSYS HFSS, SIwave and Q3D.
- Build and deliver live technical demonstrations that show how ANSYS tools solve real customer problems, not generic feature tours but workflows tailored to what that specific design team is trying to accomplish.
- Provide post-sales technical support and consulting to existing customers, helping them set up models, troubleshoot convergence issues, and interpret results in ways that inform design decisions.
- Train customer engineering teams on ANSYS simulation products, from first-time users learning the interface to experienced engineers looking to optimize runtime or accuracy.
- Collaborate with the Synopsys product development team to communicate customer requirements, test beta releases, and provide feedback that shapes future product roadmaps.
- Support the sales team in technical evaluations, competitive benchmarks, and proof-of-concept projects that help customers understand the value of moving to or expanding their use of ANSYS solutions.
- Travel up to 50% across Korea and occasionally the region to meet customers on-site, deliver training, and support critical project milestones.
Requirements
- Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering with a focus on electromagnetics, signal integrity, power integrity, or related fields.
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in signal integrity, power integrity, or EMC work, ideally in a design, test, or product development environment.
- Expert-level knowledge of ANSYS HFSS, SIwave, and Q3D, you should be able to set up, run, and interpret results from complex 3D electromagnetic simulations without handholding.
- Fluency in written and spoken English, you will be working with global teams and need to communicate technical concepts clearly across regions.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple customer projects simultaneously without losing track of deadlines or deliverables.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in a customer-facing role is a strong plus, whether that is applications engineering, field engineering, or technical consulting.
- Familiarity with other ECAE or ECAD tools, or direct semiconductor industry experience, will set you apart.
- You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a design problem described in vague terms, and translate it into a concrete simulation plan that the team understands and trusts.
- You are comfortable saying 'I do not know, but I will find out' and then actually following through.
- You have strong problem-solving instincts and can debug a simulation setup or a customer workflow without needing someone to tell you where to start looking.
- You are organized enough to juggle multiple customer engagements, internal projects, and travel schedules without dropping threads or missing commitments.
- You can explain a complex tradeoff between simulation accuracy and runtime to a design manager in two sentences without losing the nuance.
- You are willing to travel frequently across Korea and occasionally beyond, sometimes on short notice, to support critical customer needs.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
