I korthet

Synopsys is seeking a Principal Engineer for Applications Engineering in Sunnyvale, CA. This role involves hands-on deployment and debugging of emulation solutions like ZeBu at customer sites, supporting ASIC and SoC design teams. The ideal candidate has 8+ years of experience with hardware emulation platforms and strong customer-facing skills.

Ansvarsområden

  • Deploy and evaluate Synopsys ZeBu emulation solutions at customer sites, working hands-on with their ASIC and SoC design teams to get systems up and running.
  • Debug complex technical issues spanning emulation hardware platforms like ZeBu, Palladium, or Veloce, tracing problems through design, compile flows, and hardware mapping.
  • Provide pre-sales technical evaluations that help customers understand how ZeBu fits their verification strategy and post-sales support that keeps their projects moving.
  • Work with customers on both virtual prototyping solutions and physical FPGA-based platforms or development kits, recommending the right approach based on their design and schedule.
  • Develop technical collateral including application notes, reference flows, and best practice guides that help customers adopt and scale emulation in their environments.
  • Collaborate with Synopsys sales, marketing, and R&D teams to translate customer needs into product requirements and feed real-world deployment learnings back into the platform roadmap.
  • Manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously, prioritizing tasks and coordinating with team members to ensure timely resolution of technical issues.

Krav

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in emulation or prototyping working on real ASIC or SoC verification projects.
  • Direct experience with hardware emulation platforms such as Palladium, ZeBu, or Veloce, including deployment, debugging, and customer support.
  • Strong debugging skills with the ability to trace issues across design, emulation compile flows, and hardware platforms.
  • Experience with virtual prototyping solutions and physical FPGA-based platforms or development kits.
  • Proficiency in HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL, and HVLs like SystemVerilog, with the ability to read and debug complex testbenches.
  • Excellent communication skills and a customer service mindset, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in team environments and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • You can walk into a customer site where the emulation run is failing and within an hour have a hypothesis about what is wrong, whether it is in the design, the compile, or the platform configuration.
  • You are comfortable managing three customer escalations at once, knowing which one needs your attention right now and which one can wait until tomorrow without creating a problem.
  • You can explain why a virtual prototype makes more sense than an FPGA-based solution for early software development to a customer who has already bought the FPGA boards, and do it in a way that helps rather than frustrates.
  • You do not disappear when a problem gets hard, you pull in the right people, coordinate the debug effort, and stay with it until the customer is unblocked.
  • You are task-oriented enough to keep detailed notes on every customer interaction and organized enough that someone else on your team can pick up where you left off if needed.
  • You genuinely enjoy working with customers and take pride in the fact that they call you first when something breaks because they trust you will help them fix it.

Förmåner

  • Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
  • Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
  • In addition to the base salary, this role may be eligible for an annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses.
  • Synopsys offers comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits as part of a competitive total rewards package.
