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 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. You 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. You 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. What You'll Be Doing • Deploy and support Synopsys Seascape platform, RedHawk-SC, PrimeTime, PrimeClosure, PTECO, Tweaker, and StarRC for customers working on advanced node SoCs and 3DICs • Engage 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 • Work alongside product development teams to translate customer requirements into product enhancements and influence the roadmap for signoff solutions • Own technical issues from first contact through resolution, providing expert consultation and proactive support throughout the sales and deployment lifecycle • Build and maintain best practices, solutions documentation, and FAQs that support both internal teams and external customers • Participate in presale technical discussions and proof-of-concept engagements, helping customers understand how Synopsys tools solve their specific design problems • Collaborate with global IP providers, foundries, and design teams to address cutting-edge challenges in chip-package-system design and signoff The Impact You Will Have • Enable the world's top semiconductor companies to achieve signoff on complex designs at advanced nodes, directly affecting their time to market • Shape the evolution of industry-leading EDA tools by feeding real customer needs and pain points back into product development • Reduce customer debug cycles and improve design quality by delivering targeted solutions for power, timing, and reliability issues • Strengthen Synopsys' position as a trusted technical partner by building long-term relationships grounded in deep expertise and responsiveness • Accelerate internal knowledge sharing and capability building by documenting solutions and creating reusable methodologies • Support revenue growth by enabling successful evaluations, deployments, and expansions of Synopsys signoff platforms • Drive adoption of the Seascape platform, the industry's first true big-data design platform, helping customers unlock new levels of design productivity What You'll Need • Master'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 • Proven ability to provide technical support and solve customer problems in EMIR, timing signoff, or power integrity domains • Direct experience using RedHawk-SC, PrimeTime, PrimeClosure, PTECO, Tweaker, or StarRC in real design environments • Strong programming and scripting skills to automate workflows, analyze data, and build solutions for complex engineering challenges • Experience with PDN implementation and semiconductor design flows is a strong plus • Comfort working directly with customers, translating technical issues into clear explanations and actionable next steps Who You Are <ul style='--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246/0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ; box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px solid rgb(229, 231, 235); list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-type: revert; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.5rem; color: rgb(16, 27, 35); font-family: Roboto, "Roboto Fallback"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit
