Validation / Verification Eng, Sr Engineer - 18703

Job Description and Requirements

We Are

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. 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

You have spent years in the field where hardware meets real customer environments, and you know that the hardest part is not building the system, it is making sure it works flawlessly when it lands at a customer site halfway across the world. You are the person who can walk into a data center, diagnose a hardware issue that stumped three other engineers, and have it running before lunch. You think in systems, not just components. When you see a board, you see the chassis it fits into, the cabling that connects it, the Linux environment it runs on, and the customer workflow it enables.

Travel does not slow you down, it energizes you. Working solo on-site or collaborating with manufacturing teams back home feels equally natural. You have written enough bash and tcsh scripts to automate the repetitive parts so you can focus on the problems that actually need a human brain. You do not wait for perfect documentation, you dig in, figure it out, and then make it better for the next person. At Synopsys, you will work on hardware-assisted verification systems that power chip design for the most advanced semiconductors in the world.

What You'll Be Doing

• Install and configure Synopsys emulation and prototyping hardware at customer sites across Korea and internationally, ensuring systems are operational and optimized for customer workflows
• Diagnose hardware failures in the field, working directly with hardware engineering and manufacturing teams to root-cause issues and implement corrective actions
• Integrate boards into complete emulation systems by preparing chassis, mounting components, routing cabling, and validating system-level functionality
• Maintain detailed logs and reports on hardware installations, failures, and resolutions, providing periodic updates to management and engineering teams
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to review production processes, identify quality issues, and recommend improvements that reduce field failures
• Provide hands-on technical support and training to customers, helping them maximize the performance and usability of Synopsys hardware solutions
• Script automation tools using bash and tcsh to streamline installation, diagnostics, and reporting workflows

The Impact You Will Have

• Directly enable customer success by ensuring emulation hardware is installed correctly and running reliably from day one
• Reduce hardware downtime and improve system reliability through rapid on-site diagnosis and resolution of complex issues
• Feed real-world failure data back to engineering and manufacturing, driving continuous improvements in product quality and robustness
• Accelerate customer adoption and productivity by delivering exceptional technical support and system optimization guidance
• Strengthen Synopsys customer relationships in Korea and across the region through consistent, high-quality field engagement
• Contribute to the evolution of hardware-assisted verification platforms that power the next generation of AI, automotive, and high-performance computing chips
• Build institutional knowledge through detailed documentation and reporting that helps the entire field support organization learn and improve

What You'll Need

• 5+ yearsof hands-on experience in test, validation, or field support engineering for hardware systems
• Strong working knowledge of Linux environments, including system configuration, troubleshooting, and performance tuning
• Proficiency in bash and tcsh scripting for automation and workflow optimization
• Experience installing, integrating, or maintaining complex hardware systems in customer or production environments
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically within Korea and internationally to customer sites as needed
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, you can trace a problem from symptom to root cause across hardware, firmware, and software layers
• Experience with emulation, prototyping, or FPGA-based verification systems is a strong plus

Who You Are

• You can walk into a customer site with a hardware issue and leave with it resolved, documented, and a plan to prevent it from happening again
• You stay organized across multiple installations, travel schedules, and open issues without dropping threads or missing follow-ups
• You communicate clearly with customers, engineers, and manufacturing teams, translating technical problems into actionable next steps without jargon or confusion
• You are comfortable working independently on-site and know when to pull in remote support or escalate to engineering
• You treat every installation like it matters because you know a smooth deployment builds trust and a rough one costs time and credibility
• You are curious about how things break and why, and you use that curiosity to make systems better, not just functional

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will be a crucial member of the Synopsys Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) field support team. This team is dedicated to ensuring the successful implementation and maintenance of our emulation and prototyping hardware solutions. You will collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and customer support teams to drive the excellence of our hardware products.

Rewards and Benefits

We 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.

At 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.
