Analyze customer design blocks to identify the right targets for formal property checking, sequential equivalence checking, formal coverage analysis, and connectivity checking
Diagnose root causes of tool performance issues, including state space explosion and convergence problems, then optimize formal test benches to achieve proof closure
Develop and deliver technical training to customer teams on new VC Formal features, product updates, and formal verification best practices
Work directly with Synopsys R&D and product engineering teams to communicate customer priorities and technical requirements that influence product roadmap
Support customers in applying formal verification to complex logic including data path verification, math functions, and sequential equivalence across design revisions
The Impact You Will Have
Enable customers to find critical bugs earlier in the design cycle, reducing costly respins and time-to-market delays
Drive adoption of formal verification methodologies that improve verification coverage and confidence across complex SoC and IP designs
Shape the VC Formal product roadmap by translating real-world customer challenges into actionable engineering requirements
Accelerate customer productivity by delivering training and methodologies that make formal verification accessible to teams with varying levels of expertise
Build long-term technical relationships with leading semiconductor companies, becoming a trusted advisor on verification strategy
Reduce tool performance bottlenecks and proof times through expert modeling and optimization, directly improving customer ROI
What You'll Need
10 to 15 years of hands-on experience in digital design verification, with deep expertise in formal verification methodologies
Strong application knowledge of formal property checking, sequential equivalence checking, formal coverage analysis, and connectivity checking
Proven experience diagnosing and resolving formal tool performance issues, including convergence problems and proof optimization
Solid understanding of RTL design, SystemVerilog, and verification test bench development
Experience working directly with customers in a technical consulting, application engineering, or field engineering role
Experience with VC Formal or equivalent formal verification tools is a strong plus
Who You Are
You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a verification challenge, and sketch out a formal methodology that makes immediate sense to the team
You know when to push back on a customer request that will not solve the real problem, and you can explain why in terms they respect
You are comfortable moving between deep technical debugging, writing formal properties, and presenting results to engineering leadership
You treat every customer deployment like a learning opportunity, not just for them but for the product team back at Synopsys
You are organized enough to manage multiple customer engagements at once and technical enough to go deep when a proof is failing
The Team You'll Be Part Of
Application engineers (AEs) drive and deploy SNPS technologies at the customers and support successful usage of the products at the customers that leads to renewals and new business.
