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 working with electromagnetic simulation tools and you know the difference between a model that converges and one that actually reflects what happens on the board. You think in signal paths, return currents, and resonance modes, not just software features. When a customer describes a power integrity issue or an EMC failure, you already have three hypotheses forming before they finish the sentence. You are equally comfortable running HFSS simulations, sitting across from a design team explaining why their stackup is causing the problem, and walking a sales engineer through a demo that lands. You do not just answer questions, you solve problems. Sometimes that means building a custom workflow in SIwave. Sometimes it means telling a customer their test setup is wrong and showing them why. Travel does not slow you down. You have worked across time zones, adapted to different engineering cultures, and built trust with customers who needed more than a support ticket response. At Synopsys, you will work with some of the most complex SI/PI and EMC challenges across industries including semiconductors, electronics, automotive, aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and industrial systems, and the customers you support will actually listen when you talk. What You'll Be Doing Engage directly with customers in Korea and across the region to solve signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC problems using ANSYS HFSS, SIwave, Q3D, and Simplorer (TwinBuilder) Lead technical demonstrations and benchmarking sessions that show customers exactly how Synopsys simulation tools solve their specific design challenges, not generic feature tours Provide post-sales technical support and consulting on complex electromagnetic problems, working alongside customer engineering teams to deploy solutions that stick Train customers and internal application engineers on advanced use of ANSYS tools, building their independence and proficiency in real-world simulation workflows Collaborate with product development teams to surface customer requirements, test beta releases, and push back when something does not work the way it should in the field Support the sales process by translating customer technical pain into clear value propositions that help close deals and grow adoption Build and maintain simulation methodologies and best practices that improve customer productivity and reduce time-to-insight across SI/PI/EMC workflows The Impact You Will Have Customers will solve problems faster and with more confidence because you helped them set up the right simulation approach, not just the default one Design teams will avoid costly board respins because your pre-sales engagement caught the power delivery issue before tape-out Synopsys will win competitive evaluations because you built benchmarks that show real performance differences on problems customers actually care about Internal teams will have clearer product roadmaps because you brought back specific, actionable feedback from the field Application engineers across the region will level up their technical depth because you trained them on workflows you have proven in production environments Sales teams will close deals they would have lost because you turned a technical objection into a solved problem in real time The ANSYS product suite will get better because you tested early releases with a critical eye and told the dev team what needs to change What You'll Need Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field 3
