As a Staff R&D Engineer, you will design, develop, and own full stack features for one of our platforms using Angular, Python, and .NET C#. You will architect software frameworks and subsystems that balance performance, maintainability, and long-term scalability across a complex product ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and own full stack features for one of our platforms using Angular, Python, and .NET C#
• Architect software frameworks and subsystems that balance performance, maintainability, and long-term scalability across a complex product ecosystem
• Build and integrate backend services in Python and C#, connecting simulation workflows to modern web-based frontends
• Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and architects to translate product requirements into technical designs that actually work
• Write code that ships, test it, debug it, and support it through deployment and production use
• Drive technical decisions on tooling, architecture, and design patterns that affect how the team builds software for years to come
• Solve hard problems in a codebase that matters, where your decisions directly impact how engineers across industries do their work

The Impact You Will Have:

• You will shape the architecture and technical direction of a platform used by engineers worldwide to design and simulate complex systems
• You will reduce technical debt and increase developer velocity by building frameworks that make the right thing the easy thing
• Your code will enable faster, more reliable simulation workflows that help customers bring products to market sooner
• You will mentor engineers on the team through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions that raise the bar for everyone
• You will help Synopsys integrate AI-driven capabilities into simulation platforms, positioning the company at the forefront of the industry
• You will contribute to a product that powers innovation across automotive, aerospace, electronics, and other industries that depend on simulation to build the future
