Senior Application Engineer (Services)

We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate cutting-edge designs including AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services.

You are technical enough to dig into SystemVerilog code, C++ transactors, and RTL compilation issues without needing constant guidance, but you are also learning how to step back and see the bigger picture of what a customer is trying to accomplish. You are comfortable working through problems methodically, asking for help when you need it, and documenting what you find so the next person does not hit the same wall.

When something is not working, you do not just escalate it immediately; you try to isolate the issue first, gather the relevant details, and either fix it or hand it off with enough context that someone else can act on it quickly.

• Support customer deployments of Synopsys emulation and prototyping platforms, helping them compile RTL, bring up testbenches, and debug issues that arise during SoC-level verification.
• Build and troubleshoot emulation testbenches, including protocol transactors for Ethernet, PCIe, AMBA, UART, DDR, memory models, C++ code, and automation scripts.
• Assist with technical evaluations of Synopsys hardware assisted verification products on customer designs, demonstrating functionality and performance.
• Respond to customer technical questions and support requests, providing timely troubleshooting and guidance on product usage.
• Document common issues, workarounds, and best practices to help build internal knowledge base and improve customer onboarding.
• Collaborate with the local applications engineering team and sales to support account engagement and technical discussions.
• Help customers meet their verification and bring-up schedules by resolving technical issues that would otherwise stall their progress.
• Improve customer experience by providing clear, accurate technical support that builds confidence in Synopsys platforms.
• Contribute to product quality by identifying patterns in customer issues and feeding that information back to senior engineers and R&D.
• Reduce time-to-resolution for common deployment problems by creating documentation and reusable solutions that benefit multiple customers.
• Support the growth of Synopsys presence in EMEA by delivering reliable technical engagement that strengthens customer relationships.

You have a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, and 3-5 years of experience in ASIC or SoC design and verification. You are proficient in SystemVerilog and comfortable with C or C++ for testbench development, and you can work in Unix/Linux environments with scripting languages like Python, Tcl, or Perl. You bring solid debugging skills across RTL and software layers, with the ability to isolate issues in multi-component systems. You have good communication skills in English and can explain technical issues clearly to customers and internal team members. Experience with hardware emulators or prototyping platforms is a strong plus and will help you ramp up faster.

When you get stuck on a technical problem, you know how to ask for help in a way that gives the other person enough context to actually assist you. You are comfortable managing your own task list across multiple customer requests, keeping track of what is urgent, what is waiting on someone else, and what you can close out today.

You will be part of the Application Engineering team supporting Synopsys Hardware Assisted Verification platforms, working closely with customers across our EMEA semiconductor industry. The team collaborates directly with R&D on emulation and prototyping technologies and partners with the local sales organization to grow Synopsys presence in key accounts. You will work alongside senior application engineers who will help you build expertise while you contribute to customer deployments and technical support.

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs.
