At Synopsys, your work will directly influence how mission-critical systems are designed, validated, and certified.
What You'll Be Doing
Serve as the trusted technical advisor to hardware manufacturers across aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors working on electric machines, power electronics, system modeling, and EMC/EMI challenges
Lead technical evaluations, benchmarks, and proof-of-concept projects using Ansys Maxwell, Motor-CAD, Twin Builder/Simplorer, Q3D Extractor, and high-frequency tools for EMC
Develop end-to-end multiphysics workflows that connect electromagnetic, thermal, and circuit/system-level analysis, including reduced-order models and digital twins
Support applications such as electrified actuation, more-electric aircraft power systems, high-power-density motors and generators, power conversion, and platform-level EMC/EMI
Provide expert technical support, troubleshooting, and best-practice guidance to ensure successful adoption and long-term customer value
Collaborate with sales, product management, and R&D to communicate customer requirements, drive key enhancements, and shape the product roadmap
Deliver training, workshops, application notes, and technical presentations at customer sites and industry events, traveling approximately 25% of the time
The Impact You Will Have
Accelerate adoption of Synopsys simulation solutions across strategic aerospace and defense programs where reliability is non-negotiable
Help customers reduce physical prototyping and testing cycles through validated, simulation-driven design that holds up under scrutiny
Strengthen long-term customer partnerships by delivering measurable engineering and business value that changes how they approach design
Influence product direction with insight from demanding, high-reliability applications where failure is not an option
Expand the use of integrated multiphysics and system-level workflows across customer organizations, moving them from siloed analysis to connected design
Build credibility for Synopsys in mission-critical sectors where trust is earned through technical depth, not marketing
Enable customers to meet certification requirements like DO-160 and MIL-STD with confidence in their simulation results
What You'll Need
BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
7+ years of hands-on experience in electromagnetic simulation, not just running tools but understanding what the results mean and how to act on them
Deep expertise in one or more of the following: electric machines, power electronics, system-level simulation, or EMC/EMI analysis
Hands-on proficiency with Ansys Maxwell, Motor-CAD, Twin Builder/Simplorer, Q3D, HFSS, or equivalent tools in real customer or product contexts
Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, circuit and control fundamentals, and multiphysics coupling including thermal and structural effects
Proven ability to work directly with customers in evaluation, support, and training settings, with excellent presentation and communication skills that work for both engineers and decisionmakers
U.S. person status required, U.S. permanent resident or green card holder at minimum, U.S. citizenship preferred
Willingness to travel approximately 25% of the time to customer sites for evaluations, reviews, and training
Familiarity with aerospace and defense standards such as DO-160 and MIL-STD is a plus
Python/PyAEDT scripting and automation experience is a plus, familiarity with optiSLang or AI-driven design workflows is a plus
Who You Are
A technical leader who is confident and credible in front of expert engineering audiences, the kind of person who can walk into a room full of PhDs and earn respect in the first ten minutes
A clear communicator who can explain a complex tradeoff between mesh density and solve time to a VP in two sentences without losing the nuance
Self-motivated and comfortable working independently across multiple accounts and priorities, you do not wait for someone to tell you what to do next
A collaborative teammate who shares knowledge and mentors others, you know that the best way to scale your impact is to make the people around you better
Curious and eager to adopt new methods, including AI-enabled simulation workflows, you see new tools as opportunities, not threats
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will join the Electromagnetics, Power & Systems (EMPS) Applications Engineering team, a group of domain experts helping customers design electrified, connected, and sometimes mission-critical systems. The team works closely with sales, product management, and R&D, and plays a direct role in customer success and product innovation.
