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 an experienced Applications Engineer who brings deep technical credibility, strong customer instincts, and the ability to lead through complexity. With experience in design, verification, implementation, validation, or applications engineering, you have built strong expertise in ASIC Front-End or Back-End development and know how to guide customers through demanding integration challenges.

You combine analytical rigor, sound technical judgment, and clear communication to help customers move faster and make better engineering decisions. You are comfortable leading technical engagements independently, building trust with engineering teams, and partnering across functions to solve difficult problems.

You are excited about working with Synopsys’ UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) IP and the latest industry specifications across a range of market segments. In this role, you will help customers integrate UCIe IP throughout the SoC flow and support silicon and system bring-up. Some travel is required.

Open to candidates based near any Synopsys office in North America

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Understand IIP applications within customer-specific SoCs and systems, and provide expert guidance to configure, integrate, and resolve challenges across simulation, synthesis, floor planning, STA, DFT, silicon bring-up, and system integration
• Lead customer integration reviews, support major SoC milestones, and drive root-cause analysis and resolution for complex technical issues
• Partner with R&D teams to develop application notes, improve deployment methodologies, and participate in design reviews that align future development with customer needs and deployment learnings
