Applications Engineering, Sr Engineer

About the role

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 You have spent the last couple of years learning how chips actually get designed, and you have realized that power is where the hard tradeoffs live. You understand that RTL power analysis is not just running a tool, it is about catching the decisions that will either save 20% power or blow the thermal budget before tape-out. You have debugged enough synthesis runs to know when a clock gating efficiency number looks wrong, and you are curious enough to figure out why. You are comfortable working from established flows but smart enough to spot when something does not add up. When a customer asks why their switching power spiked after a design change, you do not guess, you reproduce it, check the waveforms, and either solve it or escalate it with enough context that the next person can pick it up without starting over. You write clear notes because you know that six months from now, someone else will need to understand what you found. You are early in your career but not junior in your thinking. You ask good questions, you follow through, and you want to build real expertise in low-power design tooling at a company where that expertise actually matters.

Responsibilities

• Execute Prime Power RTL 2.0 logical flows for customer evaluations and internal projects, including library setup, RTL ingestion, SDC/FSDB correlation, synthesis, compute_power runs, and clock gating efficiency reporting
• Support customers with routine flow setup, installation troubleshooting, and licensing questions, documenting results and issues for team review and escalation
• Run RTL power lint checks, summarize findings, and contribute testcase documentation, FAQ entries, and internal knowledge base updates
• Reproduce customer-reported issues, diagnose routine problems, and escalate complex cases to senior AEs with clear context and supporting data
• Prepare evaluation collateral and technical summaries using established templates, ensuring accuracy and clarity for both internal teams
