Job Description and Requirements
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 years deep in the physics and mathematics of photolithography. The work energizes you because it is real, it ships on actual wafers, and when it works, you see it in yield data and customer timelines.
You do not just deliver solutions, you teach. Walking a customer through a complex SMO flow. You ask questions that uncover what the customer actually needs, not just what they asked for. When something breaks, you dig in, you do not wait for R&D to hand you an answer.
Working across time zones and organizations does not slow you down. You know how to keep a global team aligned, how to escalate when it matters, and how to move a project forward. At Synopsys, you will work with some of the most advanced lithography customers in the world, and what you build will directly shape how they bring next-generation semiconductor technology to production.
