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 have spent years in the space where power analysis stops being theoretical and starts being the thing that makes or breaks a tape-out schedule. You know that RTL power is not just about running a tool, it is about understanding why the numbers look wrong, where the FSDB stimulus is lying to you, and how to get a customer's flow from 'interesting evaluation' to 'this is now in our production signoff checklist.'

You are the engineer who can walk into a customer meeting, listen to their design constraints and flow pain points, then sketch out a deployment plan that accounts for their NDM import mess, their multi-rail UPF complexity, and the fact that their verification team has never heard of CGE. You do not wait for perfect data. You work with what you have, ask the right questions, and build a path forward that actually works in their environment, not just in a demo deck.

Debugging is where you thrive. Elaboration failures, glitch correlation mismatches, SDF timing issues that make no sense until you dig three layers deeper, that is your comfort zone. You have learned that the best customer engagements are the ones where you teach someone how to solve the next problem themselves, not just fix the one in front of you today.

At Synopsys, you will own Prime Power RTL 2.0 deployments end to end for real customers building real chips, and the flow you deliver this quarter will still be running two years from now.

• Lead Prime Power RTL 2.0 evaluations and production deployments from scoping through go-live, including methodology selection, flow customization, and customer knowledge transfer
• Deploy and tune logical flows using CGE, lint, and ODC, physical flows with RTLA and glitch/SDF integration, and hybrid NDM import flows across customer design environments
• Apply WCDF-based calibration and synthesize with  to improve RTL-to-signoff correlation when designs demand tighter accuracy, and guide customers on FSDB stimulus quality and coverage
• Independently troubleshoot elaboration failures, library mismatches, SDC constraints, FSDB parsing issues, multi-rail UPF problems, and power accuracy gaps across VCS, Verdi, Prime Time, and RTL Architect
• Present flow options, CGE/CGR/DACGE results, and deployment timelines to customer engineering teams and manage project deliverables through completion
• Develop Tcl-based automation for staged save/restore methodologies, custom reporting, and flow integration that fits into customer regression environments
• Mentor Level 1 and Level 2 Applications Engineers, contribute to internal playbooks and best practices, and provide R&D feedback based on field deployment patterns

• Accelerate customer adoption of RTL power analysis by delivering deployments that integrate cleanly into existing signoff flows and reduce time-to-results by weeks
• Improve power accuracy and correlation for SoC and AI accelerator designs, enabling customers to make better architectural and implementation decisions earlier in the design cycle
• Reduce customer escalations and support load by building flows that are robust, repeatable, and documented well enough that design teams can run them independently
• Influence Prime Power RTL 2.0 product direction by surfacing real deployment blockers, flow gaps, and feature requests directly from customer engagements
• Expand Synopsys footprint in accounts by proving that RTL power analysis is not just a nice-to-have but a production-ready part of the low-power design methodology
• Build internal AE capability by mentoring junior engineers and creating reusable deployment assets that shorten ramp time on future customer engagements
• Strengthen customer relationships by becoming the engineer they call first when something breaks, because you have already solved the hard problems in their environment

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 5+ years in EDA applications, IC design, or low-power methodology, or Master's degree with 3+ years
• Hands-on experience deploying RTL…
