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

We are seeking a Senior Application Engineer to support Synopsys SLM PVT Monitor IP customers worldwide. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in the integration, verification, timing closure, physical implementation, and testing of complex mixed-signal and digital IPs This customer-facing role acts as the primary technical interface between global semiconductor customers and the PVT IP R&D organization, providing expert guidance on IP integration, silicon bring-up, debug, validation, and production sign-off.

What You'll Need

• Drive customer enablement for RTL-to-silicon integration of hard macros and PVTC controllers.
• Advise on floor planning, placement, routing, shielding, IR drop, and signal integrity for optimal IP integration.
• Support timing closure and sign-off across IP boundaries, including STA, Liberty/SDF, and variation modelling methodologies.
• Provide DFT and production test support, including scan, ATPG, ATE strategies, and silicon validation.
• Assist with verification, bring-up, debug, low-power validation, and firmware integration.
• Translate calibration and accuracy requirements into practical firmware and test solutions.
• Troubleshoot customer issues, perform root-cause analysis, reproduce failures, and drive resolution with R&D teams.
• Partner with sales, IP development, validation, and documentation teams to support new releases, interoperability initiatives, and technical customer engagement.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years in SoC or semiconductor IP in several of: IP/SoC integration, RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), design verification, place-and-route / physical design, timing/Liberty, DFT/ATPG.
• Ability to debug simulation mismatches (X/Z, handshake stalls, model vs. netlist) and to distinguish testbench or model limits from RTL defects.
• Working knowledge of STA using .lib/.db/SDF, including constraint arcs (setup/hold).
• Working knowledge of scan architecture and ATPG deliverables vs. functional simulation.
• Ability to work strictly from specifications and state what is specified vs. customer-owned.
• Strong written English for customer-facing technical answers.
• Familiarity with Synopsys tools (VCS, Verdi, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, SpyGlass/VC Static).
• Customer-facing AE, FAE, design services, or IP applications experience.
• Mixed-signal or analog-aware digital integration (ESD, analog test pins, supply sequencing).
• Advanced-node (FinFET) SoC and IP delivery.
• Master’s degree in a related field.

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the ACE Global Technical Support team, a diverse group of talented engineers and subject matter experts dedicated to enabling customer success through simulation-driven innovation. The team collaborates closely across regions and disciplines to help customers maximize the value of Synopsys simulation technologies while advancing best practices in engineering analysis, AI-assisted workflows, and customer support excellence.
