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 at your best when the problem is complex, the stakes are high, and the path forward isn’t obvious yet. You thrive on bringing order to timing chaos—staying calm, curious, and systematic while others feel the pressure of a looming milestone. You don’t chase symptoms; you look for first principles, isolate variables, and build a clear narrative that explains what’s happening and what to do next. You’re comfortable making crisp recommendations, but you’re equally comfortable surfacing tradeoffs early so the team can choose the right outcome, not just the fastest one.
You show up as a partner, not a gatekeeper. In pre-sales moments, you lead with clarity and credibility, helping customers see what’s possible while keeping expectations grounded. In post-sales moments, you lean in even harder—turning urgency into a plan, and a plan into measurable progress. You communicate in a way that travels well: concise enough for executives, concrete enough for engineers, and structured enough that decisions don’t get lost between meetings. When the room is split, you’re the person who aligns everyone around the objective and the data.
You’re proactive by default. You anticipate where flows tend to break, where signoff surprises hide, and where a small methodology shift can prevent a week of churn. You care about the details because they matter, but you never lose sight of the bigger picture: enabling teams to tape out with confidence, learn faster, and build better silicon together.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Supporting the industry-leading Synopsys PrimeTime Static Timing Analysis tool across pre-sale and post-sale engagements.
-
Driving product adoption through competitive benchmarking, customer evaluations, and articulating product advantages to design teams and management.
-
Delivering customer training, technical presentations, and hands-on workshops to maximize user proficiency and satisfaction.
-
Providing tape-out support, troubleshooting complex timing issues, and ensuring successful project completion.
-
Collaborating with R&D, marketing, and sales to relay customer feedback and influence product enhancements.
-
Developing and maintaining technical documentation, best practices, and knowledge base resources.
-
Participating in advanced customer collaboration initiatives to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
The Impact You Will Have:
-
Accelerating customer project timelines by enabling efficient use of PrimeTime and optimizing design flows.
-
Enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty through expert support, training, and problem-solving.
-
Strengthening Synopsys’ leadership in static timing analysis and semiconductor design solutions.
-
Facilitating feedback loops between customers and internal teams, driving continuous innovation in product features.
-
Empowering customers to achieve superior chip performance, power efficiency, and cost optimization.
-
Contributing to successful tape-outs and high-impact design wins for industry-leading clients.
What You’ll Need:
-
Expertise in Synopsys PrimeTime STA tool, with hands-on experience and deep knowledge of its features.
-
Strong understanding of timing corners, process variations, and signal integrity-related issues.
-
Familiarity with synthesis, physical design, extraction, and ECO methodologies.
-
Proficiency in TCL scripting for automation and tool customization.
-
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience in customer-facing roles preferred.
-
BSEE or equivalent with 5+ years of relevant experience, or MSEE/equivalent with 3-4 years of experience.
Who You Are:
-
Collaborative team player who values diverse perspectives and fosters inclusive environments.
-
Proactive problem solver, able to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
-
Adaptable and resilient, thriving in a dynamic, fast-paced setting.
-
Detail-oriented with a commitment to delivering high-quality results.
-
Clear communicator, able to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
