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 withour 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 time in digital design or physical implementation, and you know that the difference between a chip that tapes out and one that gets stuck in timing closure is usually a floorplan decision made two weeks earlier. You care about that decision. You are the kind of engineer who opens a log file, sees a thousand warnings, and knows which three actually matter.
You do not need to know everything yet, but you know how to learn fast and ask the right questions when you are stuck. You have debugged timing violations, stared at congestion maps, and tried to squeeze another 50 MHz out of a block that was supposed to be done last week. You understand that implementation is not just running tools, it is understanding tradeoffs between power, area, and performance, and making calls that hold up under pressure.
Working withcustomers does not intimidate you. You can explain a routing issue or a setup violation without losing the technical thread, and you are comfortable saying "let me dig into that and get back to you" when you do not have the answer yet. At Synopsys, you willwork on real customer designs, solve real implementation problems, and build expertise that matters in this industry.
What You'll Be Doing
- Support customers using Synopsys implementation tools like Fusion Compiler and IC Compiler II, helping them debug timing violations, routing congestion, floorplanning issues, and power/area tradeoffs
- Analyze customer design flows from RTL to GDSII, reproduce issues in-house, and work withinternal engineering teams to resolve tool-related or methodology challenges
- Review tool logs, identify root causes of failures or performance bottlenecks, and provide clear technical guidance to customers on next steps
- Develop and deliver technical documentation, application notes, and best practice guides based on customer engagements and recurring issues
- Participate in customer meetings, debug sessions, and technical reviews, representing Synopsys as a trusted technical resource
- Collaborate with product engineering, R&Dto escalate complex cases and contribute to product improvement based on real-world customer feedback
- Build internal knowledge through hands-on work withsynthesis, place and route, timing closure, and physical verification flows
- Accompany with sale team for pre-sale/post sale to increase biz chance
The Impact You WillHave
- Customers in Vietnam get faster, more reliable answers to their toughest implementation challenges, which means their chips tape out on schedule
- Synopsys tools get adopted more deeply because you help customers understand not just how to use them, but how to use them well
- Product teams get better feedback loops because you surface real customer pain points and edge cases that only show up in production designs
- Your documentation and knowledge sharing reduce time to resolution for future cases, making the entire support organization more effective
- Local customers feel supported by someone who understands their design context and can communicate clearly in English and technical terms
- You help grow Synopsys' technical presence and reputation in the Vietnam semiconductor ecosystem
- The team gets stronger because you contribute to a culture of learning, collaboration, and customer focus
- To increase /secure share of usage SNPS tool
What You'll Need
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals and the RTL-to-GDSII physical implementation flow
- Knowledge of synthesis and physical design concepts including timing closure, floorplanning, place and route, and congestion analysis
- Ability to work in Linux/Unix environments and navigate command-line workflows
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, you willbe working directly withcustomers and internal teams
- Hands-on experience withFusion Compiler, IC Compiler II, or similar industry-standard implementation tools is a strong plus
- Scripting experience in TCL, Python, Perl, or Shell is a plus and willhelp you automate tasks and debug faster
Who You Are
- You can take a vague customer complaint like "my design is not closing timing" and turn it into a structured debug plan withclear next steps
- When you hit a wall, you do not guess, you dig into the data, check the logs, reproduce the issue, and ask for help when you need it
- You are comfortable saying "I do not know yet, but I willfind out" to a customer, and then actually following through
- You can juggle multiple support cases at once without losing track of details or letting things fall through the cracks
- You care about documentation, not because someone told you to, but because you know that writing things down makes the next case easier
- You work well independently but you also know when to pull in a teammate or escalate to engineering, collaboration is not a weakness
The Team You'll Be Part Of
Our team focuses on delivering high-quality technical support and solutions to customers while fostering a collaborative, supportive, and growth-oriented environment. We value teamwork, ownership, continuous learning, and customer success. You will work closely with product engineering, and R&D across Synopsys to support customers in Vietnam and the broader region.
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 willprovide 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.
