Applications Engineering, Staff Engineer

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 at the intersection of engineering data and real product development, and you have learned that the hardest part of digital transformation is not implementing the software, it is getting organizations to actually trust and use the data. You understand that materials information is not just metadata, it is the foundation of every simulation, qualification decision, and design trade off that matters. You are comfortable walking into a room with a manufacturing engineer, a simulation lead, and an IT architect and finding the common thread that makes a materials data strategy work across all three. You do not need a perfect requirements document to get started. You ask the right questions, map the data flows, and build solutions that scale beyond the pilot project. You have seen what happens when materials data lives in spreadsheets, emails, and tribal knowledge, and you know how to fix it. At Synopsys, you will work with organizations that are ready to modernize how they manage one of their most critical engineering assets, and what you build will directly affect how fast they can innovate. What You'll Be Doing Partner with sales teams during the technical sales cycle, delivering demonstrations, proof-of-concept work, and technical presentations that show how Material Information Management solves real customer problems Act as the senior technical advisor and primary contact for customers implementing materials data management platforms, guiding them through integration with PLM, CAE, and enterprise systems Lead workshops and technical sessions with engineering, IT, and product development teams to map materials data workflows, identify gaps, and design scalable solutions Translate complex data governance and integration challenges into clear, actionable recommendations for both hands-on engineers and senior leadership Serve as the subject-matter expert for Material Information Management within customer engagements and internal initiatives, shaping how the technology is positioned and deployed Collaborate with product management and development teams to influence roadmap priorities, interoperability features, and usability improvements based on field feedback Mentor application engineers and contribute to internal best practices, knowledge-sharing sessions, and continuous improvement across the team The Impact You Will Have Enable customers to standardize and scale materials data management across global engineering organizations, eliminating silos and reducing duplication Reduce engineering risk by improving data quality, traceability, and accessibility, so teams can make faster, more confident decisions Accelerate innovation by connecting materials data to simulation, qualification, and design workflows, shortening time from concept to production Position materials information as a strategic enabler of digital engineering transformation, not just a compliance checkbox Strengthen long-term customer relationships through trust, credibility, and measurable technical outcomes that prove ROI Shape the evolution of materials data management best practices within Synopsys and across the industry What You'll Need 5+ years of experience in engineering, engineering software, technical consulting, or customer-facing technical roles Strong understanding of product development processes and how engineering data flows across the lifecycle, from concept through manufacturing Hands-on experience or deep familiarity with Material Information Management or enterprise materials data managemen
