Staff Applications Engineer ( ASIC, Physical Design, TCL / Python )

We AreSynopsys 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 few years deep in the RTL2GDS flow, and you know that the real work happens in the messy middle where verification meets implementation and theory meets timing closure. You understand that a clean ECO is not about clever tricks, it is about knowing the tools well enough to make the right call under pressure when a customer's tapeout schedule depends on it. You are comfortable debugging complex place-and-route issues, timing convergence challenges, congestion problems, power optimization opportunities, and physical implementation bottlenecks using Fusion Compiler. Advanced nodes do not intimidate you because you have seen what breaks at 5nm and 3nm, and you have learned how to anticipate and solve those challenges. You can work directly with senior design engineers and technical leads, understand their implementation constraints, and provide practical solutions that help them reach tapeout goals. Knowledge of complementary tools such as Formality, PrimeTime, and other Synopsys signoff solutions is highly valued. You also embrace modern AI-assisted workflows and understand how to leverage AI tools to improve productivity, accelerate debug, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver faster, more effective customer support. At Synopsys, you will work directly with customers building the chips that power everything from AI accelerators to automotive systems, and the solutions you deliver will matter. What You'll Be Doing
