## Description

You will engineer the future with Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products.

As an Applications Engineering, Sr Engineer, you will work directly with the teams building the next generation of automotive sensing and lighting systems in Seoul, South Korea.

### Responsibilities

- Support automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Korea with pre-sales and post-sales technical engagements focused on optical simulation for exterior lighting, interior lighting, camera systems, HUD, LiDAR, and ADAS applications

- Build proof of concept demonstrations that show how simulation reduces development cycles, improves design quality, and accelerates time to market for automotive optical systems

- Develop and demonstrate AI-assisted workflows that integrate simulation tools like Zemax or Speos with Python automation, data analytics, and emerging AI technologies to enhance engineering productivity

- Lead technical trainings, workshops, and customer seminars on automotive optical simulation methodologies, sensor performance evaluation, virtual prototyping, and system-level validation

- Create technical documentation, application notes, best-practice guidelines, and localized marketing materials including webinars, blogs, and release communications tailored to automotive optical use cases

- Collaborate on the development of new simulation methodologies and contribute to technical papers, conference presentations, and industry publications

- Explore and prototype how generative AI tools and agentic AI can improve design exploration, decision-making workflows, and simulation efficiency in automotive contexts

### The Impact You Will Have

- Enable automotive customers to validate optical system designs virtually, reducing physical prototyping cycles and accelerating product launches

- Demonstrate measurable ROI through simulation-driven workflows that improve design quality and reduce development costs for leading OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers

- Establish Synopsys optical simulation tools as the standard for automotive sensing and lighting development in the Korean automotive market

- Accelerate adoption of AI-driven engineering workflows that improve productivity and unlock new design possibilities for automotive optical systems

- Build reusable technical assets, workflows, and best practices that scale across multiple customer engagements and product lines

- Influence product roadmap and methodology development by bringing real-world customer needs and emerging automotive trends back to engineering teams

- Strengthen customer relationships through high-value technical engagement that goes beyond tool support to strategic partnership

### Requirements

- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Photonics, or a related engineering discipline

- 1 to 3 years of relevant industrial experience in automotive optical system development including cameras, LiDAR, HUD, HMI displays, interior monitoring systems, or automotive lighting

- Hands-on experience with optical simulation and design tools such as Zemax, Speos, or equivalent platforms, with strong fundamentals in optics and photonics

- Working proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++ for automation and workflow development

- Working level English communication skills for technical documentation, customer engagement, and collaboration with global teams

- Experience applying AI/ML techniques to engineering, simulation, or product development workflows is a plus

- Ansys Lumerical, Ansys Mechanical, Code V, RSoft, or Light-tools is a plus
