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 are an early-career engineer who is curious about how digital chips are implemented and eager to build hands-on expertise in ASIC physical design. You have a foundation in digital design and are interested in learning what happens from floorplanning through tapeout. You are comfortable reading basic Verilog, working in a Linux environment, and using or learning Tcl, Python, or Shell scripting to improve engineering productivity.

You communicate clearly in English, across time zones and teams. You are the kind of person who can explain technical issues to an engineer in cross-functionally and cross-regionally. At Synopsys, you will work directly with customers using tools that shape how chips get built, and the problems you solve will matter.

What You'll Be Doing

Provide hands-on technical support for customers using Synopsys Design Implementation and Verification tools, including troubleshooting issues in physical design flows like floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and timing closure
Take ownership of customer technical cases from initial investigation through resolution, debugging tool behavior, analyzing design data, and working with customers to deploy solutions
Collaborate with R&D engineering teams across regions to escalate complex issues, communicate customer requirements, and validate fixes or new features before deployment
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers by proactively following up on open issues, understanding their design challenges, and ensuring they get the most out of Synopsys tools
Work with Synopsys Fusion Compiler, ICC2, and related signoff tools to help customers optimize their implementation methodologies and improve design outcomes
Create and refine technical documentation, application notes, and best practices based on real customer engagements and lessons learned in the field

The Impact You Will Have

Directly unblock customer design teams so they can meet tapeout schedules and deliver working silicon on time

Reduce the time it takes for customers to adopt new Synopsys tools and features by providing clear guidance and proven methodologies
Surface real-world customer pain points to R&D teams, influencing product roadmaps and making tools better for the entire user base
Build trust and long-term partnerships with customers in the region, expanding Synopsys's technical footprint and customer satisfaction scores
Help customers achieve better PPA (power, performance, area) outcomes by optimizing their use of physical design and verification flows
Contribute to a global knowledge base that helps Application Engineers worldwide solve problems faster and more effectively
Strengthen Synopsys's reputation as a company that does not just sell tools but stands behind them with world-class technical support

What You'll Need

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
Understanding of ASIC physical design and implementation methodologies, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and static timing analysis
Working knowledge of Verilog and digital design fundamentals
Comfort with Linux or Unix environments and scripting in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell
Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to customers and internal teams
Exposure to Synopsys Fusion Compiler, ICC2, or related signoff tools is a strong plus
Application Engineering experience supporting implementation flows or customer-facing technical roles is a plus

Who You Are

You can take a vague customer complaint like "the tool is slow" and turn it into a specific diagnosis with a clear next step
You are comfortable saying "I do not know yet, but I will find out" and then actually following through until you have an answer
You do not wait for someone to tell you to follow up with a customer, you just do it because you want to know if the fix actually worked
You are genuinely interested in trying new tools, new features, and AI-assisted workflows, not because you have to but because you want to see what is possible
You can work across time zones and teams without losing track of who needs what and when, and you keep stakeholders informed without being asked

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the Applications Engineering team in Ho Chi Minh, focused on providing technical support for EDA Design Implementation and Verification solutions. The team works directly with customers across the region to address technical issues, optimize design methodologies, and drive successful adoption of Synopsys tools. You will collaborate closely with Application Engineers worldwide and R&D teams to solve complex customer challenges, escalate critical issues, and ensure continuous improvement of Synopsys solutions. This is a team that values customer success, technical depth, and proactive problem-solving.

Rewards and Benefits

We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
