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 are a highly skilled applications engineer with a passion for semiconductor technology, eager to solve complex challenges in the realm of layout verification and parasitic extraction. With a strong academic foundation in Electrical Engineering or relevant field (BSc + 9 years or MSc + 7 years experience), you have honed your expertise through hands-on experience with EDA tools and direct customer engagement. You excel in fast-paced environments, combining technical expertise and strong communication to support clients effectively. Curious and detail-oriented, you drive innovation, build strong relationships, and adapt to new challenges, contributing to next-generation semiconductor design with integrity and excellence.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide hands-on technical support to customers using STARRC and R3D extraction tools, diagnosing issues, tuning flows, and ensuring accurate parasitic models
• Collaborate with R&D to escalate complex issues, reproduce problems, validate fixes, and communicate solutions back to customers
• Deliver technical presentations, training sessions, and live demonstrations on extraction optimization and runtime reduction
• Develop automation scripts in Python, TCL, PERL, and BASH to streamline workflows and support QA/QC processes
• Manage customer engagement programs including project planning, milestone tracking, and reporting aligned with design schedules
• Evaluate new STARRC features, test compatibility across customer environments, and provide feedback to product teams

The Impact You Will Have

• Accelerate customer tape-out schedules by resolving extraction bottlenecks that would otherwise delay silicon delivery
• Improve parasitic model accuracy used in timing closure, power analysis, and electromigration checks across leading-edge designs
• Drive adoption of Synopsys extraction solutions in Korea's semiconductor ecosystem, strengthening customer relationships
• Influence STARRC product development by surfacing actionable insights from real-world customer deployments
• Reduce support escalations by building automation and documentation that empowers design teams to self-serve
• Enable competitive wins by demonstrating technical superiority and responsiveness that differentiate Synopsys

What You'll Need

• BSc in Electrical Engineering with 9+ years experience, or MSc with 7+ years in semiconductor design or EDA applications
• Hands-on experience with parasitic extraction tools, ideally STARRC, including setup and troubleshooting for advanced nodes
• Familiarity with layout verification tools such as Calibre or ICV
• Ability to run transistor-level simulations using HSPICE or SPECTRE on post-layout netlists
• Custom layout experience and knowledge of electromigration analysis and reliability checks
• Proficiency in Linux and scripting languages including Python, TCL, PERL, and BASH
• Experience in FAE, PAE, or CAE roles with technical customer support and program management. QA/QC experience is a plus.

Who You Are

• You can take "extraction runtime is too slow" and diagnose whether it is mesh density, hierarchical flow configuration, or layout partitioning
• You present technical content to senior engineers, translating tool capabilities into outcomes without oversimplifying
• You manage multiple customer engagements, tracking open issues and escalations without dropping threads
• When a customer pushes back, you ask why, understand their constraints, and find a solution that works
• You debug failing extraction runs using log files and simulation results even when the root cause spans multiple tools

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join a dynamic Product Engineering team based in South Korea, dedicated to supporting leading semiconductor companies in their design and verification processes. The team collaborates closely with R&D, product management, and sales, ensuring customers receive the highest level of technical support and guidance. Together, you will play a crucial role in advancing Synopsys' technology adoption and driving customer success in a rapidly evolving industry.
