Staff Applications Engineer (Electronics Thermal Management)

We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Applications Engineer (Electronics Thermal Management) to join our team at Synopsys. As a passionate engineering professional, you will play a critical role in solving complex thermal management challenges in electronics, working closely with customers to understand their unique design workflows and translating their requirements into state-of-the-art simulation solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead technical engagement throughout the sales cycle, from discovery calls and product demos to proof-of-concept evaluations with prospective customers
• Work directly with customers to understand their electronics cooling challenges, design workflows, and simulation needs at the package, board, and system level
• Deploy Ansys simulation solutions, integrating Fluent, Icepak, or Mechanical into customer design processes and ensuring they deliver real engineering value
• Test new Ansys releases on real industrial thermal problems, document what works, and create application best practices that get used across the customer base
• Partner with product development teams to translate customer feedback into feature requests, workflow improvements, and product roadmap priorities
• Deliver training sessions and consulting engagements that help customers get more out of Ansys tools, whether onsite, remote, or at industry events
• Author technical content for conferences, webinars, and marketing campaigns that position Synopsys as a leader in electronics thermal simulation

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate customer adoption of Ansys simulation, directly contributing to revenue growth and long-term customer relationships
• Enable engineers to solve thermal problems faster and more accurately, reducing product development cycles and preventing costly late-stage design failures
• Shape the evolution of Ansys products by feeding real-world customer needs and use cases back into the development process
• Build Synopsys' reputation as the go-to partner for electronics thermal management, strengthening our position in a competitive market
• Help customers solve problems they could not solve before, creating loyalty and expanding the footprint of Synopsys solutions in their organizations
• Mentor junior applications engineers and share expertise across the team, raising the technical bar for everyone
• Represent Synopsys at industry events and conferences, contributing thought leadership that influences how the electronics industry approaches thermal simulation

Requirements:

• MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 6+ years in engineering software environments, or BS with 8+ years, or PhD with 3+ years
• At least 4 years in application engineering, customer support, or consulting roles where you worked directly with customers using engineering software
• Strong technical grounding in fluid mechanics, CFD, and thermodynamics with hands-on application in electronics thermal management
• Proficiency with Ansys tools such as Fluent, Icepak, or Mechanical, or equivalent experience with CAE, CAD, EDA, or PLM platforms
• Experience integrating simulation into customer workflows at the package, board, or system level, not just running isolated analyses
• Experience with multiphysics simulation approaches like electro-thermal or thermo-mechanical coupling is a strong plus
