We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You Are\nYou have spent enough time in semiconductor design to know that the hardest problems are never just technical, they are also about translation. You can sit with a customer struggling with electromigration failures at 3nm and walk out with a plan that makes sense to their design team, their schedule, and their tools. You do not just run analyses, you understand what the numbers mean and why they matter to someone trying to tape out next quarter.\nYou are comfortable moving between deep technical work and customer conversations. One day you are debugging a PDN issue in RedHawk-SC, the next you are on a call with a foundry partner explaining why their signoff flow needs adjustment. You ask the right questions before you start solving, and you know when to escalate and when to dig in yourself.\nYou like being the person who makes complex tools actually usable. You have probably written scripts to automate something that was taking too long, built a FAQ because you got the same question five times, or pushed back on a product feature because it did not match what customers actually needed. At Synopsys, you will work directly with the teams building the tools and the customers depending on them to ship.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nDeploy and support Synopsys Seascape platform, RedHawk-SC, PrimeTime, PrimeClosure, PTECO, Tweaker, and StarRC for customers working on advanced node SoCs and 3DICs\nEngage directly with leading semiconductor design houses and foundries to solve EMIR, static timing analysis, power integrity, signal integrity, and reliability challenges at block and SoC level\nWork alongside product development teams to translate customer requirements into product enhancements and influence the roadmap for signoff solutions\nOwn technical issues from first contact through resolution, providing expert consultation and proactive support throughout the sales and deployment lifecycle\nBuild and maintain best practices, solutions documentation, and FAQs that support both internal teams and external customers\nParticipate in presale technical discussions and proof-of-concept engagements, helping customers understand how Synopsys tools solve their specific design problems\nCollaborate with global IP providers, foundries, and design teams to address cutting-edge challenges in chip-package-system design and signoff\nThe Impact You Will Have\nEnable the world's top semiconductor companies to achieve signoff on complex designs at advanced nodes, directly affecting their time to market\nShape the evolution of industry-leading EDA tools by feeding real customer needs and pain points back into product development\nReduce customer debug cycles and improve design quality by delivering targeted solutions for power, timing, and reliability issues\nStrengthen Synopsys' position as a trusted technical partner by building long-term relationships grounded in deep expertise and responsiveness\nAccelerate internal knowledge sharing and capability building by documenting solutions and creating reusable methodologies\nSupport revenue growth by enabling successful evaluations, deployments, and expansions of Synopsys signoff platforms\nDrive adoption of the Seascape platform, the industry's first true big-data design platform, helping customers unlock new levels of design productivity\nWhat You'll Need\nMaster's degree with 1+ years or Bachelor's degree with 3+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor design, with a focus on EMIR, STA, timing closure, or power delivery network analysis\nProven ability to provide technical support and solve customer problems in EMIR, timing signoff, or power integrity domains\nDirect experience using RedHawk-SC, PrimeTime, PrimeClosure, PTECO, Tweaker, or StarRC in real design environments\nStrong programming and scripting skills to automate workflows, analyze data, and build solutions for complex engineering challenges\nExperience with PDN implementation and semiconductor design flows is a strong plus\nComfort working directly with customers, translating technical issues into clear explanations and actionable next steps\nWho You Are\nYou can explain a voltage drop issue to a design lead in two sentences without losing the technical nuance or oversimplifying the fix\nYou do not wait for perfect information to start solving a problem, you work with what you have, ask clarifying questions, and move forward\nYou are organized enough to juggle multiple customer engagements at once and disciplined enough to follow through on every one\nYou push back when a proposed solution does not match the actual customer need, even if it means more work or a harder conversation\nYou treat customer problems like your own, you do not pass them off unless it genuinely requires someone else's expertise\nYou are comfortable presenting technical content to both engineers and business stakeholders, adjusting your message without losing the thread\nThe Team You'll Be Part Of\nYour recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.\nRewards and Benefits\nWe offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.\n\nAt Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.\nIn 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. The actual compensation offered will be based on a number of job-related factors, including location, skills, experience, and education.
