Staff Application Engineer- FPGA

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.

When you walk into a customer meeting with a sales team, you listen first. You map their design challenges, their timeline pressure, their past tool frustrations, and you shape your technical approach around what will actually move them forward. You have debugged enough FPGA prototypes to know where customers get stuck, partitioning that does not scale, clock domain issues that surface at bring-up, debug flows that eat weeks, and you use that knowledge to de-risk their evaluation and accelerate their decision. You are not just technically strong, you are technically credible in the room. Customers trust you because you have been in the trenches with RTL synthesis, FPGA bring-up, and SoC validation. You know what a real prototype timeline looks like, and you can tell when a customer is being optimistic or when they are about to hit a wall. That instinct lets you design solutions that actually fit their world, not just check feature boxes.

At Synopsys, you will work at the intersection of cutting-edge emulation and prototyping platforms like ZS5, ZeBu-200, and
