What You'll Be Doing
Analyze customer verification environments and methodologies, identify bottlenecks, and recommend deployment strategies for Synopsys Verification Platform tools including VCS, Verdi, and VIP
Deliver technical demonstrations and proof-of-concept projects that show customers how Generative AI agents can accelerate their chip development workflows
Conduct benchmarking studies comparing customer flows to best practices, then present findings and actionable recommendations to engineering teams and management
Work directly with R&D and product management to translate customer pain points and feature requests into requirements for next-generation AI-enhanced EDA capabilities
Lead technical discussions and training sessions with customer teams on UVM methodologies, low power verification techniques, and advanced debugging using Verdi
Build and maintain deep technical relationships with customers, becoming the trusted advisor they call when a verification problem is blocking tapeout
Debug customer testbenches, simulation environments, and scripts to resolve deployment issues and prove out tool capabilities in real production flows
The Impact You Will Have
Accelerate customer adoption of Synopsys Verification Platform, directly reducing their time to tapeout and improving chip quality
Shape the future roadmap of AI-enabled verification solutions by feeding real customer requirements and use cases back to product teams
Enable customers to shift left in their verification process, catching bugs earlier and reducing costly respins
Build reusable deployment methodologies and best practices that scale across multiple customer engagements and industry segments
Expand Synopsys footprint within strategic accounts by proving technical value and building trust with engineering teams
Influence how the semiconductor industry adopts Generative AI in verification, helping define what actually works versus what is just hype
Contribute to customer success stories and case studies that demonstrate measurable ROI from Synopsys solutions
What You'll Need
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of hands-on functional verification experience
Deep knowledge of VLSI design flow and verification methodologies, including fluency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, or SystemC
Proven experience with front-end verification work including RTL and testbench coding, simulation debug, and coverage analysis
Working knowledge of UVM methodology and how it is actually deployed in production environments, not just textbook understanding
Proficiency in UNIX/Linux environments and scripting in shell, Perl, or Python to automate workflows and debug customer environments
Experience with low power design and verification techniques is a strong plus, as is hands-on debug experience using Verdi
Strong technical communication skills, you can explain a complex verification concept to a customer engineer and also present ROI to their director
Who You Are
You can walk into a customer meeting with incomplete information, ask the right diagnostic questions, and leave with a clear action plan
When a customer says 'the tool is broken,' you dig deeper to understand whether it is a configuration issue, a methodology gap, or an actual bug, and you know how to triage accordingly
You are comfortable presenting technical content to both hands-on engineers who want to see waveforms and executives who want to see schedule impact
You do not need perfect documentation to be effective, you can read code, trace through a testbench, and figure out what is happening even when the setup is messy
You treat customer problems like puzzles worth solving, not interruptions to your day, and you follow through until the issue is actually resolved
You can balance multiple customer engagements at once without dropping threads or losing track of commitments you made
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will join the Technical Sales Group supporting the Synopsys Verification Platform, working closely with field sales, R&D, and product management. This team is responsible for driving adoption of industry-leading verification technologies including VCS simulation, Verification IP, formal verification tools, and hardware-assisted verification systems. Your focus will be primarily on VCS and emerging AI-enabled verification solutions, partnering with customers across multiple industries to optimize their verification flows and accelerate chip development.
