Applications Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer (SI/ PI)

You will be part of Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products.

As an Applications Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer (SI/ PI), you have spent years turning complex engineering problems into solutions that customers can actually use, not just understand in theory. Power integrity, signal integrity, and EMI are not just checkboxes on a spec sheet for you. They are the physics that determines whether a chip works or burns power like a space heater.

Your responsibilities include:

• Lead technical engagements with semiconductor customers across Taiwan, including onsite meetings, product demonstrations, workflow evaluations, and solution deployments that directly support active sales opportunities
• Analyze customer design environments and engineering workflows to identify gaps, bottlenecks, and opportunities where ANSYS simulation tools can streamline power integrity, signal integrity, and EMI analysis
• Build and demonstrate custom simulation workflows using ANSYS tools that solve real customer problems, not generic use cases, tailored to IC design, 3DIC integration, and high-speed digital systems
• Translate customer technical requirements and pain points into actionable product development requests for engineering teams, ensuring field feedback shapes future releases
• Deliver hands-on deployment services and training sessions, from introductory overviews to intermediate deep dives, ensuring customers can independently use the tools after you leave
• Collaborate with sales, product management, and R&D teams to position the full ANSYS portfolio and contribute to internal initiatives that improve presales effectiveness and technical enablement
• Travel up to 60% across Taiwan and occasionally regionally to support customer success metrics and maintain technical credibility with key accounts

The impact you will have:

• Accelerate design cycles for leading semiconductor companies by delivering simulation workflows that catch signal integrity and power integrity issues before they reach silicon
• Drive software revenue growth by turning complex technical evaluations into successful deployments, proving value in real customer environments rather than controlled demos
• Shape future ANSYS product capabilities by serving as the voice of the customer, ensuring R&D teams understand what actually matters in Taiwan's IC design and 3DIC markets
• Build long-term technical credibility with engineering teams at major accounts, becoming the trusted resource they call when a tough problem needs solving
• Enable customer engineering teams to work faster and with more confidence by teaching them how to use ANSYS tools effectively, not just correctly
• Reduce time-to-market for next-generation chips by helping customers integrate power and signal integrity analysis earlier in their design workflows
• Influence how simulation and analysis tools are adopted across the region, setting the standard for technical excellence in customer-facing engineering

Requirements:

• Master's degree in electrical engineering or a related technical discipline
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in an engineering software environment, ideally supporting EDA, CAE, or CAD tools in a customer-facing or applications role
• Direct experience with power integrity, signal integrity, and EMI simulation and measurement, you have run the tools and interpreted the results in real design scenarios
• Demonstrated use of ANSYS software or deep familiarity with competing commercial EDA platforms like Cadence, Mentor, or Ansys HFSS, SIwave, or similar
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken, with the ability to write technical documentation, deliver presentations, and facilitate webinars without losing clarity or nuance
• Ability to travel up to 60% across Taiwan and occasionally to regional customer sites
• Python scripting experience is a strong plus, especially for automating workflows or post-processing simulation data. IC design or 3DIC design knowledge is also a differentiator
