You’re also deeply collaborative. You listen hard, read the room, and adapt your style to the audience—whether you’re guiding a customer through a tough constraint conversation or aligning internal teams around a path forward. You take ownership naturally, you follow through, and you leave people feeling supported, informed, and ready for the next milestone.
What You'll Be Doing
Provide pre-sale and post-sale technical support for Synopsys HAPS-based prototyping solutions, including HAPS hardware and ProtoCompiler software
Work directly with customers to prototype multi-million gate ASIC designs, guiding them through design partitioning, FPGA synthesis, system planning, and RTL debug
Lead technical evaluations of HAPS products at customer sites, diagnosing complex design issues, resolving timing closure problems, and optimizing prototyping flows
Develop and deliver customer training materials, application notes, and technical articles based on real deployment experience and customer use cases
Collaborate with R&D teams to escalate product quality issues, propose new features, and contribute to improving quality of results in HAPS tools and flows
Travel to customer sites as needed to support product deployments, troubleshoot critical issues, and enable successful prototype bring-up
Script automation solutions in TCL and Python to streamline customer workflows and improve prototype performance
The Impact You Will Have
Enable customers to catch critical bugs in multi-million gate SoCs before tape-out, saving them months of schedule risk and the cost of silicon respins
Accelerate time-to-market for products across smartphones, network devices, and medical instrumentation by delivering working FPGA prototypes that software teams can develop against
Shape the roadmap of HAPS products by feeding real customer pain points and deployment challenges directly back to engineering teams
Build reusable methodologies, flows, and training content that scale across Synopsys's global customer base and reduce time to first prototype
Act as the technical expert for HAPS within Synopsys, influencing how sales teams position the product and how customers adopt it
Help customers navigate the complexity of Xilinx Ultrascale and Versal architectures, turning prototyping from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage
Establish long-term technical relationships with the engineering teams at the world's leading chip companies
What You'll Need
Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree with 3+ years
Hands-on experience with FPGA-based prototyping, including taking complex ASIC designs and successfully mapping them to FPGA hardware
Deep knowledge of digital design fundamentals, VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog, and experience with synthesis and simulation flows
Proven ability to debug FPGA designs and handle complex timing constraints, particularly on Xilinx Ultrascale or Versal device families
Strong scripting skills in TCL and Python for automation and flow development
Experience working directly with customers in a technical support, field applications, or consulting capacity is a strong plus
Familiarity with Synopsys verification tools such as VCS, Verdi, or VC Formal is a plus
Who You Are
You can walk into a customer meeting, quickly assess where their prototype effort is stuck, and propose a concrete path forward without needing perfect information
You are comfortable explaining a complex partitioning tradeoff to a customer architect in a way that makes the technical and business implications clear
You do not get rattled when a customer escalation lands on your desk at 4 p.m. on a Friday, you treat it as a puzzle to solve, not a crisis to panic over
You write clear, useful documentation because you have been on the receiving end of bad app notes and refuse to inflict that on others
You know when to push back on a customer request that will lead them down a dead end, and you do it in a way that builds trust instead of burning it
You are organized enough to juggle multiple customer engagements, travel schedules, and internal projects without dropping threads
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will join the HAPS Application Engineering team within Synopsys's Go-to-market organization. This team acts as the technical experts for HAPS FPGA-based prototyping products across Synopsys. You will work closely with sales teams during pre-sale evaluations, directly with customers during deployments and support engagements, and with R&D teams to influence product direction. The team supports customers globally, and you will collaborate with application engineers in other regions to share knowledge and solve complex prototyping challenges.
Rewards and Benefits
