We are seeking a highly experienced Staff Application Engineer - FPGA to join our team at Synopsys. As a leader in engineering solutions, we enable customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. In this role, you will work at the intersection of cutting-edge emulation and prototyping platforms, helping customers solve validation problems that directly impact their product schedules.
You will lead pre-sales technical engagements for ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS FPGA prototyping 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 flows.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading pre-sales technical engagements for ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS FPGA prototyping platforms
- Presenting tailored hardware-assisted verification solutions
- Conducting technical evaluations, proof-of-concept projects, and benchmarks
- Deploying AI-based hardware-assisted verification platforms at customer sites
- Collaborating closely with the sales team to shape opportunity strategy
- Delivering compelling product demonstrations, technical presentations, and architecture reviews
The ideal candidate will have:
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 5-6 years of hands-on experience in emulation, FPGA-based prototyping, ASIC design, or SoC validation
- Strong command of FPGA architectures such as Xilinx or Intel, RTL design in Verilog or VHDL, synthesis flows, and hardware bring-up and debug
- Experience with ZS5, ZeBu, HAPS platforms, or ProtoCompiler is a strong plus
In this role, you will have a significant impact on the company's success, including:
- Winning competitive deals and growing ZS5, ZeBu-200, and HAPS revenue
- De-risking customer decisions and shortening sales cycles
- Setting customers up for long-term success and creating expansion opportunities
- Shaping product roadmap priorities and helping R&D build features that win in the field
