What You'll Be Doing
Engage directly with customers in Shanghai and across the region to understand their SoC design and verification challenges and translate those into technical solutions using Synopsys tools
Provide hands-on technical support and guidance across front-end and mid-end workflows including CDC/RDC, low-power design with UPF, gate-level simulation, VIP integration, and formal verification
Debug complex customer issues involving RTL, SystemVerilog testbenches, and tool flows, working through root cause analysis and delivering actionable resolutions
Develop and deliver technical demonstrations, training sessions, and best-practice recommendations tailored to customer design environments and project goals
Collaborate with product engineering, R&D, and sales teams to communicate customer feedback, reproduce issues, and influence product roadmap based on real-world use cases
Build and maintain deep technical relationships with customer engineering teams, becoming a trusted advisor on methodology and tooling decisions
Create technical content including application notes, reference flows, and example designs that help customers adopt and optimize Synopsys solutions
The Impact You Will Have
Customers will adopt Synopsys tools faster and with fewer roadblocks because you help them navigate the hardest parts of their design and verification flows
Design teams will close timing, power, and verification goals more reliably because you identified the methodology gaps and tooling configurations that were holding them back
Product teams at Synopsys will build better tools because you surface the real-world friction points that only come from direct customer engagement
Customer engineering teams will level up their technical capabilities through the training, guidance, and examples you provide
Synopsys will win and expand business in the region because customers trust you to deliver solutions that actually work in their environment
Complex technical escalations will resolve faster because you can reproduce, diagnose, and explain issues in terms both customers and internal teams understand
The broader applications engineering team will benefit from the flows, scripts, and technical collateral you develop and share
What You'll Need
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related technical field
5+ years of hands-on experience in chip design, SoC development, or verification engineering
Strong working knowledge of RTL design and SystemVerilog, you should be comfortable reading, writing, and debugging both
Solid understanding of SoC design fundamentals including clocking, reset, power domains, and design-for-test concepts
Experience with one or more of the following is a strong plus: CDC/RDC analysis, low-power design and UPF, gate-level simulation, VIP or protocol verification, formal verification, or lint and design rule checking
Prior experience in a customer-facing technical role such as applications engineering, field engineering, or technical consulting is a plus
Fluency in Mandarin and professional working proficiency in English for customer communication and internal collaboration
Who You Are
You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a design problem described in half-formed sentences, and ask the two questions that get to the actual issue
When a simulation fails or a CDC violation does not make sense, you do not guess, you dig into waveforms, logs, and schematics until the root cause is clear
You are comfortable saying 'I do not know, but I will find out' and then actually following through with an answer that helps
You can explain a complex technical tradeoff to a customer engineer in terms they understand without oversimplifying or talking down
You stay organized across multiple customer engagements, tool versions, and open issues without losing track of what matters most
You genuinely enjoy the moment when a customer finally gets their flow working because you helped them see what they were missing
