In short
Synopsys is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to drive the deployment of PrimeTime timing signoff solutions at strategic semiconductor customers. This role involves leading technical engagements, translating customer challenges into product requirements, and partnering with R&D to shape the future of timing signoff for AI, automotive, and mobile applications.
Responsibilities
- Drive production deployment of PrimeTime capabilities including HyperGrid distributed STA, native IR-aware timing analysis, thermal-aware signoff, aging analysis, and multi-die timing closure at strategic semiconductor customers.
- Lead direct technical engagements with design teams at leading-edge accounts, translating their advanced-node challenges into concrete product requirements, deployment strategies, and success metrics.
- Partner with R&D teams to evaluate new architectures like cloud-native PrimeTime and AI-assisted constraint generation, validating functionality, identifying performance bottlenecks, and driving resolution of complex product issues.
- Own beta programs and pre-production evaluations from kickoff through production readiness, defining test plans, tracking results, and ensuring customer success criteria are met.
- Resolve critical customer escalations through structured root-cause analysis, building effective workarounds when needed and driving long-term fixes back into the product.
- Translate deployment experience, competitive intelligence, and customer feedback into clear roadmap recommendations for Product Management and engineering leadership.
- Create technical content including deployment guides, best-practice methodologies, executive briefings, and training materials that accelerate adoption across the field organization and customer base.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline.
- Deep hands-on experience with PrimeTime or comparable timing signoff tools across multiple production tapeouts, including multi-corner multi-mode analysis, variation modeling, and advanced-node signoff challenges.
- Strong understanding of static timing analysis fundamentals including setup/hold analysis, clock domain crossing, false paths, multi-cycle paths, and constraint methodology.
- Proficiency in Tcl and Python for automation, analysis, and debugging of complex timing scenarios.
- Track record of solving hard technical problems in EDA, ASIC/SoC design, or physical implementation environments where the answer was not obvious and the stakes were high.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, or HyperGrid technologies is a strong plus.
- Background deploying new EDA technologies at semiconductor companies, including managing beta programs, customer training, or production readiness activities is highly valued.
- Ability to walk into a room where a customer's timing closure is stuck and within an hour identify whether the issue is in their constraints, their methodology, the tool, or their design, and know how to have that conversation without pointing fingers.
- When R&D proposes a new algorithm, immediately think about how it will behave on a real customer design with 500 modes, 200 corners, and a constraint deck that has evolved over three years.
- Write Tcl and Python that other engineers can actually read and modify six months later, because one-off scripts become production infrastructure.
- Ability to explain a complex timing analysis tradeoff to a VP in two sentences without losing the technical nuance, and to turn around and debug a multi-threaded race condition with an engineer the next hour.
- When committing to a customer delivery date or an internal milestone, people know it will happen because contingency is built in and escalation happens early when something is at risk.
- Push back when a product plan does not account for real deployment complexity, and do it in a way that moves the conversation forward rather than shutting it down.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
- Eligible for an annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses.
- Comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits as part of a competitive total rewards package.
- Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
