I korthet

As a Senior Staff Interface IP Pre-Sales Application Engineer in South Korea, you will drive the technical lifecycle for Interface IP opportunities, partnering with customers and sales teams. You will discover requirements, define solutions, lead technical evaluations, and ensure customer success in AI, automotive, and data center segments.

Ansvarsområden

  • Own the pre-sales technical lifecycle for Interface IP opportunities across Korea: requirements discovery, solution definition, technical presentations, customer evaluation/POC planning, and technical close
  • Work directly with customer SoC architects and design teams to understand requirements and constraints, then recommend the right Interface IP solutions, including SerDes, PCIe, DDR, USB, MIPI, D2D, Ethernet
  • Lead technical evaluations and IP selection processes: define success criteria, evaluation plans, configuration recommendations, integration approach, and risk mitigation (performance/power/area/schedule)
  • Partner with Sales/Account teams to shape win strategies, qualify opportunities, and align on customer decision process, stakeholders, and timelines
  • Drive customer-facing technical engagements such as architecture workshops, deep dives, and design reviews; coordinate follow-ups and ensure action items close on time
  • Support competitive situations with strong technical differentiation: develop positioning, handle objections, and guide customers through tradeoffs vs. alternative solutions
  • Drive PHY IP porting discussions and technical negotiations across process nodes and customer environments; align scope, assumptions, deliverables, and timelines with internal stakeholders
  • Serve as the technical bridge between customers and Synopsys R&D: translate customer issues into actionable engineering requests, drive prioritization, and ensure timely resolution during evaluations and integration
  • Contribute technical inputs to proposals and commercial execution, including RFI/RFP responses, technical sections of proposals, and scope/effort inputs (as applicable)
  • Organize and facilitate technical forums with customers, Sales, Marketing, Program Management, and Engineering to align on strategy, resolve standoffs, and drive decisions forward
  • Track emerging technology trends and customer needs across AI, automotive, and data center segments; feed field insights into product roadmap and go-to-market planning

Krav

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field with 12+ years of experience; or Master’s degree with 10+ years in IC design, verification, semiconductor IP, or related areas
  • Strong hands-on background in ASIC/SoC design and/or verification, with deep understanding of design flows, integration challenges, and silicon bring-up considerations
  • Technical expertise in at least one major Interface IP domain such as SerDes, PCIe, DDR, USB, MIPI, D2D, or Ethernet, with working knowledge of protocols, PHY architecture, and integration requirements
  • Proven experience in a customer-facing pre-sales technical role (FAE / Sales Engineer / Applications Engineer / Technical Consultant) supporting evaluations and driving technical closure
  • Experience delivering technical presentations and leading customer workshops; ability to translate complex technical concepts clearly to engineering and business stakeholders
  • Strong communication skills in Korean and English (written and verbal)
  • Ability to work effectively in a matrix organization across Sales, R&D, Product Marketing, and Program Management, driving alignment and decisions without direct authority

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Program management or project leadership experience on complex SoC or IP integration efforts is a plus, especially across multiple sites or time zones
