About The Position

Synopsys is a leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. This role involves driving the production deployment of PrimeTime capabilities, leading technical engagements with design teams at leading-edge accounts, and partnering with R&D teams to evaluate new architectures. The position requires resolving critical customer escalations, translating deployment experience into roadmap recommendations, and creating technical content to accelerate adoption. The impact of this role includes enabling customers to achieve timing signoff, shaping the PrimeTime roadmap, accelerating time-to-production for next-generation capabilities, building reusable deployment methodologies, strengthening Synopsys' competitive position, mentoring other engineers, and influencing the architecture of future PrimeTime releases.

Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline
Deep hands-on experience with PrimeTime or comparable timing signoff tools across multiple production tapeouts, including multi-corner multi-mode analysis, variation modeling, and advanced-node signoff challenges
Strong understanding of static timing analysis fundamentals including setup/hold analysis, clock domain crossing, false paths, multi-cycle paths, and constraint methodology
Proficiency in Tcl and Python for automation, analysis, and debugging of complex timing scenarios
Track record of solving hard technical problems in EDA, ASIC/SoC design, or physical implementation environments where the answer was not obvious and the stakes were high
Experience with distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, or HyperGrid technologies is a strong plus
Background deploying new EDA technologies at semiconductor companies, including managing beta programs, customer training, or production readiness activities is highly valued

Responsibilities

Drive production deployment of PrimeTime capabilities including HyperGrid distributed STA, native IR-aware timing analysis, thermal-aware signoff, aging analysis, and multi-die timing closure at strategic semiconductor customers
Lead direct technical engagements with design teams at leading-edge accounts, translating their advanced-node challenges into concrete product requirements, deployment strategies, and success metrics
Partner with R&D teams to evaluate new architectures like cloud-native PrimeTime and AI-assisted constraint generation, validating functionality, identifying performance bottlenecks, and driving resolution of complex product issues
Own beta programs and pre-production evaluations from kickoff through production readiness, defining test plans, tracking results, and ensuring customer success criteria are met
Resolve critical customer escalations through structured root-cause analysis, building effective workarounds when needed and driving long-term fixes back into the product
Translate deployment experience, competitive intelligence, and customer feedback into clear roadmap recommendations for Product Management and engineering leadership
Create technical content including deployment guides, best-practice methodologies, executive briefings, and training materials that accelerate adoption across the field organization and customer base
