Principal Application Engineer - Verification

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 have spent years in the verification trenches and now you understand that the best tool in the world means nothing if the customer cannot deploy it or does not trust it to solve their real problem. Walking into a customer site and seeing a broken flow does not intimidate you, it energizes you. You know how to ask the right questions to uncover what is actually blocking their team, not just what they say is blocking them.

You are comfortable presenting a technical solution to a room of skeptical engineers and walking out with their buy-in because you spoke their language and showed them something that will save them three weeks on their next tapeout. You have debugged enough test benches to know when a methodology problem is masquerading as a tool problem, and you are not afraid to tell a customer the truth about what needs to change.

The idea of working with Generative AI agents in verification excites you because you see the potential, but you are grounded enough to focus on what actually works today. You think in terms of benchmarks, deployment plans, and measurable outcomes. At Synopsys, you will work with customers who are building the chips that power everything, and the solutions you help them adopt will directly affect whether their product ships on time.

• 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 test benches, simulation environments, and scripts to resolve deployment issues and prove out tool capabilities in real production flows

• 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
