## Description

At Synopsys, you will work on HAPS FPGA prototyping platforms and ProtoCompiler, helping customers validate SoCs faster and with fewer surprises.

You have spent enough time in the FPGA prototyping world to know where designs break down. You listen first in customer meetings, mapping their design challenges, timeline pressure, and past tool frustrations, then shape your technical approach to solve their problems. You do not pitch features; you solve problems.

### Responsibilities

- Lead pre-sales technical engagements for HAPS FPGA prototyping platforms and ProtoCompiler, working directly with prospective customers to understand their SoC validation challenges, design requirements, and timeline constraints

- Present tailored prototyping solutions addressing customer-specific needs around partitioning, performance, debug, and integration with their existing RTL-to-hardware workflows

- Conduct technical evaluations, proof-of-concept projects, and benchmarks demonstrating how HAPS solves the customer's real problems

- Collaborate closely with the sales team to shape opportunity strategy, qualify technical fit, handle objections, and move deals through the pipeline with clear technical milestones

- Deliver compelling product demonstrations, technical presentations, and architecture reviews to engineering teams and executive stakeholders, adapting your message to the audience

- Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with customer architects and engineering leaders that extend beyond individual sales cycles and create long-term partnership opportunities

### The Impact You Will Have

- Your technical credibility and solution design will directly win competitive deals, growing HAPS revenue and expanding Synopsys footprint in strategic accounts

- Proof-of-concept work you lead will de-risk customer decisions and shorten sales cycles by proving value early and clearly

- Solutions you architect will set customers up for long-term success, reducing post-sale friction and creating expansion opportunities as their prototyping needs grow

- Customer insights you bring back from the field will shape product roadmap priorities and help R&D build features that win in real-world engagements

- Relationships you establish with key technical buyers will open doors for the sales team and create multi-year partnership opportunities that go beyond single transactions

- Technical content and competitive positioning you develop will strengthen the entire field team's ability to sell HAPS effectively

- Your ability to translate complex prototyping challenges into clear business value will elevate how customers perceive Synopsys technical leadership in the FPGA prototyping space

### Requirements

- Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

- 1-2+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA-based prototyping, ASIC design, or SoC validation, with deep understanding of RTL-to-hardware workflows and the design challenges that surface during bring-up

- Strong command of FPGA architectures such as Xilinx or Intel, RTL design in Verilog or VHDL, synthesis flows, and hardware bring-up and debug techniques

- Comfort with travel to customer sites for evaluations, presentations, and technical engagements, often on short notice

- Experience with HAPS platforms, ProtoCompiler, or similar FPGA prototyping tools is highly desirable
