Engineer the Future with Us

We currently have 753 open roles

Senior Applications Engineer - Parasitic Extraction

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide hands-on technical support to customers using STARRC and R3D extraction tools, diagnosing issues, tuning flows, and ensuring accurate parasitic models

• Collaborate with R&D to escalate complex issues, reproduce problems, validate fixes, and communicate solutions back to customers

• Deliver technical presentations, training sessions, and live demonstrations on extraction optimization and runtime reduction

• Develop automation scripts in Python, TCL, PERL, and BASH to streamline workflows and support QA/QC processes

• Manage customer engagement programs including project planning, milestone tracking, and reporting aligned with design schedules

• Evaluate new STARRC features, test compatibility across customer environments, and provide feedback to product teams

The Impact You Will Have

• Accelerate customer tape-out schedules by resolving extraction bottlenecks that would otherwise delay silicon delivery

• Improve parasitic model accuracy used in timing closure, power analysis, and electromigration checks across leading-edge designs

• Drive adoption of Synopsys extraction solutions in Korea's semiconductor ecosystem, strengthening customer relationships

• Influence STARRC product development by surfacing actionable insights from real-world customer deployments

• Reduce support escalations by building automation and documentation that empowers design teams to self-serve

• Enable competitive wins by demonstrating technical superiority and responsiveness that differentiate Synopsys

What You'll Need

• BSc in Electrical Engineering with 9+ years experience, or MSc with 7+ years in semiconductor design or EDA applications

• Hands-on experience with parasitic extraction tools, ideally STARRC, including setup and troubleshooting for advanced nodes

• Familiarity with layout verification tools such as Calibre or ICV

• Ability to run transistor-level simulations using HSPICE or SPECTRE on post-layout netlists

• Custom layout experience and knowledge of electromigration analysis and reliability checks

• Proficiency in Linux and scripting languages including Python, TCL, PERL, and BASH

• Experience in FAE, PAE, or CAE roles with technical customer support and program management. QA/QC experience is a plus.

Who You Are

• You can take 'extraction runtime is too slow' and diagnose whether it is mesh density, hierarchical flow configuration, or layout partitioning

• You present technical content to senior engineers, translating tool capabilities into outcomes without oversimplifying

• You manage multiple customer engagements, tracking open issues and escalations without dropping threads

• When a customer pushes back, you ask why, understand their constraints, and find a solution that works

• You debug failing extraction runs using log files and simulation results even when the root cause spans multiple tools

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join a dynamic Product Engineering team based in South Korea, dedicated to supporting leading semiconductor companies in their design and verification processes. The team collaborates closely with R&D, product management, and sales, ensuring customers receive the highest level of technical support and guidance. Together, you will play a crucial role in advancing Synopsys' technology adoption and driving customer success in a rapidly evolving industry.
