Principal Application Engineer - FPGA

You will join Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. As a Principal Application Engineer - FPGA, you will work on emulation and FPGA prototyping platforms that matter, including ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS.

Your role will involve leading pre-sales technical engagements for these platforms, working directly with prospective customers to understand their SoC, GPU, and AI design validation challenges. You will present tailored hardware-assisted verification solutions that address customer-specific needs around partitioning, performance, debug, and integration with their existing design and verification flows.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading pre-sales technical engagements for ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS FPGA prototyping platforms
• Presenting tailored hardware-assisted verification solutions to address customer-specific needs
• Conducting technical evaluations, proof-of-concept projects, and benchmarks to demonstrate how Synopsys platforms solve customer problems
• Deploying AI-based hardware-assisted verification platforms at customer sites and guiding integration
• Collaborating with the sales team to shape opportunity strategy and move deals through the pipeline
• Delivering compelling product demonstrations, technical presentations, and architecture reviews

The impact you will have includes:

• Directly winning competitive deals and growing ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS revenue
• De-risking customer decisions and shortening sales cycles through proof-of-concept work
• Setting customers up for long-term success and creating expansion opportunities
• Shaping product roadmap priorities and helping R&D build features that win in competitive evaluations

Requirements include:

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 12-15 years of hands-on experience in emulation, FPGA-based prototyping, ASIC design, or SoC validation
• Strong command of FPGA architectures, RTL design, synthesis flows, and hardware bring-up and debug techniques
• Experience with ZS5, ZeBu, HAPS platforms, or ProtoCompiler is highly desirable
