Description
We are seeking a Staff Application Engineer to join our team at Synopsys in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. As a Staff Application Engineer, you will work directly with customers to deploy and optimize emulation solutions for SoC and ASIC verification projects. You will design emulation strategies that fit the specific architecture, testbench, and schedule constraints of each customer engagement. You will also debug complex issues that span hardware models, software interactions, and testbench integration, working with customers and internal R&D to resolve them.
You will be responsible for building and delivering technical enablement sessions and workshops that help customers and internal teams get more out of the platform. Additionally, you will collaborate with product engineering teams to surface customer requirements, workflow gaps, and feature requests that shape future platform releases. You will also mentor engineers on the team, helping them build deeper technical skills in emulation methodologies and customer engagement.
The ideal candidate will have a B.E/B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering with 7+ years in applications engineering, hardware verification, or emulation support roles, or M.S/M.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering with 5+ years in similar roles. You should have hands-on experience with emulation platforms such as Synopsys ZeBu, Mentor Veloce, or Cadence Palladium. Strong working knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL and verification methodologies including UVM or OVM is required.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to shorten verification cycles for customers working on high-stakes semiconductor projects where schedule pressure is constant. You will increase platform adoption and effectiveness by helping customers implement workflows that actually fit their design and verification environments. You will influence product roadmaps by translating real customer pain points into actionable feedback for R&D teams. You will build long-term customer relationships grounded in technical credibility and reliable execution.
As a Staff Application Engineer at Synopsys, you will be part of a team of applications engineers and technical specialists focused on delivering emulation and verification solutions to customers. The team works closely with product R&D, sales, and customer engineering organizations, and the work spans everything from early-stage evaluations to production deployment and ongoing optimization.
