Senior Applications Engineer-PDN/STA/ECO/PrimeTime/PrimeClosure/RHSC
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 thrive on being the person everyone calls when a design challenge gets thorny and the clock is ticking. When someone mentions 7nm or 3nm, you picture the stackup, the signoff flows, the real-world challenges -then you start mapping solutions. You have sat with PrimeTime logs at midnight, chased down PDN or EMIR anomalies, and know that “timing closure” is more than a checklist item. You like the mix of deep technical troubleshooting and talking directly to the engineers who build the next big thing. You are all about translating a customer’s pain into product improvements, and you want to see your fingerprints on both the tools and the success stories. Presenting to a room full of experts, running a webinar, or writing a killer FAQ all feel natural to you. You keep learning, because every new node, every new platform, is a puzzle you want to solve. You want your work to be visible and valuable, not just to your team, but to the world’s top semiconductor companies.
What You'll Be Doing
- Partnering with global customers, IP providers, and foundries to understand and address design challenges on advanced SoCs and 3DICs at 7/5/3nm nodes
- Delivering technical support and solutions for power integrity (PDN/EMIR), static timing analysis (STA), and reliability signoff using tools like RHSC, PrimeTime, and PrimeClosure/PTECO/Tweaker
- Collaborating with Synopsys product development teams to define and shape EDA product specifications based on real customer feedback
- Deploying and enabling Synopsys-Seascape, the big-data design platform, in customer environments to solve chip-package-system challenges
- Leading technical engagements, including webinars, presentations, and direct consultations, to guide customers through complex design and signoff workflows
- Owning the end-to-end customer technical experience, from troubleshooting issues to gathering requirements and driving product improvements
- Documenting best practices, creating FAQs, and contributing to internal knowledge bases to elevate team and customer success
The Impact You Will Have
- Accelerate customer tapeouts and design cycles by resolving critical signoff and timing closure issues before they become blockers
- Enable top semiconductor companies to adopt and maximize Synopsys EDA solutions for the most advanced process nodes
- Influence the development of next-generation signoff tools by translating real-world customer needs into actionable product features
- Reduce support cycles and increase customer satisfaction by delivering clear, effective technical communication and resources
- Help shape industry best practices for timing, power, and reliability analysis through your direct customer interactions and documentation
- Drive adoption of Synopsys-Seascape and other advanced platforms in high-stakes design environments
- Contribute to the team’s reputation as the go-to experts for solving the hardest design challenges in the business
What You'll Need
- Minimum 3 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with at least 2 years focused on PDN/EMIR engineering, STA analysis, ECO, or physical verification/timing closure for block or SoC-level designs
- Hands-on experience with RHSC, PrimeTime, and PrimeClosure/PTECO/Tweaker tools
- Demonstrated competence in technical support, troubleshooting, and resolving customer issues related to PDN and/or timing signoff
- Familiarity with STA, place and route (PnR), DRC, and LVS processes is a plus
- Strong programming skills to automate flows and analyze data
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to run webinars and present to customers
- Ability to manage multiple complex projects and adapt quickly to new technologies and customer needs
Who You Are
- You can break down a failed signoff run for a customer, isolate the root cause, and explain the fix in plain language that builds trust
- You keep the big picture in mind, connecting customer problems with product roadmaps and the needs of the engineering team
- You are comfortable facilitating technical sessions, from small group troubleshooting to large customer webinars
- You document your solutions and share knowledge, making it easier for others to solve similar challenges next time
- You thrive on juggling priorities, never losing track of a critical customer issue while still pushing for the next product improvement
- You keep learning, always looking for new tools, flows, and process insights to stay ahead of the curve
The Team You'll Be Part Of
Signoff Support Group which is responsible for deploying and supporting the broad products portfolio of Synopsys' design analysis and signoff solutions for static timing analysis, advanced signal integrity, power and power integrity, parasitic extraction, ECO closure, transistor-level analysis and library characterization, and Multiphysics.
