I korthet

As a Sr. Engineer in Applications Engineering, you will provide technical support to global customers using Synopsys Zebu Emulation and Protocompiler Prototyping software. You will troubleshoot issues, migrate designs to new releases, deliver technical training, and collaborate with R&D teams to improve products. This role requires hands-on experience with FPGA design, RTL, and synthesis tools, with a focus on problem-solving and customer interaction.

Ansvarsområden

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Support pre-sales evaluations by running customer designs through the Synopsys emulation and prototyping flow.
  • Travel occasionally to customer sites for onsite support, training, or critical issue resolution.

Krav

  • 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.
  • Exposure to Xilinx or Altera synthesis tools is a plus, as is familiarity with Synopsys Prototyping or Emulation hardware and software.
  • 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.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • You can take a vague customer complaint like 'the compile is failing' and turn it into a specific, reproducible issue with enough detail that R&D can act on it.
  • You stay calm when a customer is frustrated or under pressure, and you focus on solving the problem rather than defending the tool.
  • You are comfortable working across time zones and managing multiple customer issues in parallel without losing track of who needs what by when.
  • You do not mind digging through synthesis logs, waveform dumps, or FPGA utilization reports to find the root cause of a problem.
  • You can explain a complex technical tradeoff, like why a design needs to be repartitioned or why certain optimizations are not possible, in a way that makes sense to someone who is not an FPGA expert.
  • You are open to occasional travel for customer support, training, or onsite troubleshooting when remote support is not enough.

Förmåner

  • Enable customers to bring up complex SoC designs on emulation and prototyping platforms faster, reducing their verification cycle time by weeks or months.
  • Improve product quality by surfacing real customer pain points to R&D with enough technical detail that fixes can be prioritized and implemented effectively.
  • Build customer confidence in Synopsys HAV solutions through responsive, expert-level support that helps them solve problems they could not solve on their own.
  • Expand adoption of new software features by showing customers how to use them on their actual designs, not just in demos.
  • Reduce escalations and support load over time by delivering training that helps customers become more self-sufficient with the toolchain.
  • Strengthen customer relationships by being the engineer they trust to pick up the phone when something is broken and production timelines are at risk.
  • Contribute to the technical knowledge base and internal best practices that make the entire support organization more effective.
