Descriptions & Requirements

Job Description and Requirements We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You Are This role will primarily involve a blend of technical expertise in AMS circuit design, analysis and implementation with strong sales/customer-facing skills, focusing on selling analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit EDA tools to semiconductor companies.

The candidate must have knowledge of both top-down and bottom-up analog mixed-signal design methodologies but also have key understanding of adjacent design methodologies like PDK’s, design verification, System-level design for package, board and 3D-IC design and Emulation. Knowledge or experience with emerging technologies such as quantum and photonics a plus.

What You'll Be Doing Sell analog and mixed-signal EDA tools to semiconductor companies by understanding their design challenges, circuit architectures, and methodology gaps, then mapping those to Synopsys solutions

Lead technical pre-sales engagements including product demonstrations, proof-of-concept setups, and custom workflow proposals tailored to customer design environments

Identify new sales opportunities by staying close to customer roadmaps, understanding where their next-generation designs (data converters, PLLs, Ser Des, power management) will push their current tools to the limit

Collaborate with engineering, product marketing, and R&D teams to shape solutions that are not just technically sound but actually deployable in customer workflows

Build and maintain relationships with design teams, CAD managers, and engineering leadership at key accounts, becoming the technical voice they trust when evaluating tooling decisions

Stay current on adjacent methodologies like PDK development, design verification, system-level design for package/board/3D-IC, and emulation, so you can speak to the full design ecosystem

Track competitive landscape and emerging technologies (quantum, photonics) to position Synopsys tools in evolving market segments

The Impact You Will Have Enable semiconductor companies to close critical analog and mixed-signal designs faster by connecting them with the right tools and workflows at the right time Drive revenue growth by converting technical credibility into long-term customer partnerships and expanded tool adoption across design teams

Influence product roadmaps by surfacing real customer pain points and use cases that engineering teams can act onHelp customers avoid costly re-spins and schedule slips by identifying toolchain gaps early and proposing solutions before they become blockers

Expand Synopsys footprint in high-value design domains like high-speed Ser Des, advanced data converters, and next-generation power management

Shape how leading semiconductor companies think about analog design methodology, not just which tools they buy Contribute to the success of chips that will power everything from AI accelerators to automotive systems to next-generation communications infrastructure

What You'll Need Hands-on experience in analog and mixed-signal circuit design, including work…
