This role 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.
- Familiarity with Synopsys Prototyping or Emulation hardware and software is a plus.
- 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.
Benefits
- Work with some of the most complex emulation and prototyping workflows in the industry.
- Support global customers who depend on Zebu and Protocompiler to verify chips that power everything from automotive systems to data centers.
- Join Synopsys Technical Sales Group (TSG) as part of the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) team.
- Collaborate with engineers across geographies and gain exposure to Synopsys HAV hardware platforms.
