In short
Synopsys is seeking a Lead Aerospace Applications Engineer to drive technical engagements with aerospace and defense customers. This role involves configuring and optimizing simulation solutions, articulating technical value propositions, and mentoring junior engineers. The ideal candidate has a strong background in aerospace engineering, customer success, and hands-on experience with Ansys DME software like STK and ODTK.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical engagements with aerospace and defence customers from discovery through deployment, understanding their mission workflows, engineering challenges, and business priorities, then translating those into solutions using Ansys DME software like STK and ODTK.
- Work directly with customers to configure, deploy, and optimize Digital Mission Engineering solutions across their design and engineering workflows, ensuring the tools integrate into how they actually work.
- Engage with Director and C-level stakeholders to articulate technical value propositions, demonstrate solution impact, and align our capabilities with their strategic initiatives.
- Gather, document, and analyze metrics that prove the technical and business impact of your engagements, building the case for expanded adoption and long-term partnership.
- Collaborate with product development teams to translate customer requirements and field feedback into actionable product roadmap input, ensuring future releases solve real customer problems.
- Mentor junior application engineers on technical depth, customer engagement, and solution delivery, helping them grow into trusted advisors for their accounts.
- Support field and digital marketing efforts by authoring technical papers, delivering conference presentations, and leading webinars on aerospace simulation and Digital Mission Engineering topics.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Aerospace, Astronautical, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, with 10+ years (BS), 6+ years (MS), or 3+ years (PhD) of professional experience.
- Hands-on experience using Ansys DME software, specifically STK and ODTK, in real customer or engineering contexts, not just training environments.
- Working knowledge of multiphysics simulation tools across structural, fluid dynamics, electromagnetics, or thermal domains, and how they integrate into aerospace workflows.
- Proficiency in object-oriented programming with Python, MATLAB, C#, or Java, enough to script solutions, automate workflows, and support customer integrations.
- Demonstrated understanding of aerospace engineering practices and product development lifecycles, with experience building and deploying simulation-based solutions into customer engineering workflows.
- Track record of delivering measurable customer outcomes and contributing to revenue growth within the aerospace and defence industry.
- Ability to travel up to 30% of the time for customer engagements, conferences, and team collaboration.
Desired Qualifications
- Ability to understand both spacecraft systems engineer and program manager perspectives and create a plan satisfying both.
- Proactive approach to problem-solving, clarifying requirements, and moving forward with sufficient information to deliver value.
- Workflow-oriented thinking to map customer processes, identify friction points, and build fitting solutions.
- Natural mentoring ability, helping junior engineers improve technical concepts and customer conversations.
- Commitment to staying current with aerospace technology, methods, tools, and domain knowledge.
- Organizational skills to manage multiple complex engagements across regions and time zones effectively.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
- Recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
