Applications Engineering, Principal Engineer

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

As a Principal Engineer in Applications Engineering, you will work directly with customers deploying ZeBu and other emulation solutions on some of the most complex designs being built today.

Your expertise in emulation and prototyping will enable customers to successfully deploy emulation on complex ASIC and SoC designs that would otherwise be impossible to verify at speed.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and evaluate Synopsys ZeBu emulation solutions at customer sites, working hands-on with their ASIC and SoC design teams to get systems up and running
• Debug complex technical issues spanning emulation hardware platforms like ZeBu, Palladium, or Veloce, tracing problems through design, compile flows, and hardware mapping
• Provide pre-sales technical evaluations that help customers understand how ZeBu fits their verification strategy and post-sales support that keeps their projects moving
• Work with customers on both virtual prototyping solutions and physical FPGA-based platforms or development kits, recommending the right approach based on their design and schedule
• Develop technical collateral including application notes, reference flows, and best practice guides that help customers adopt and scale emulation in their environments
• Collaborate with Synopsys sales, marketing, and R&D teams to translate customer needs into product requirements and feed real-world deployment learnings back into the platform roadmap
• Manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously, prioritizing tasks and coordinating with team members to ensure timely resolution of technical issues

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in emulation or prototyping working on real ASIC or SoC verification projects
• Direct experience with hardware emulation platforms such as Palladium, ZeBu, or Veloce, including deployment, debugging, and customer support
• Strong debugging skills with the ability to trace issues across design, emulation compile flows, and hardware platforms
• Experience with virtual prototyping solutions and physical FPGA-based platforms or development kits
• Proficiency in HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL, and HVLs like SystemVerilog, with the ability to read and debug complex testbenches
• Excellent communication skills and a customer service mindset, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in team environments and manage multiple tasks simultaneously
