• Leading complex customer engagements for the integration, bring-up, and deployment of Memory Interface PHY IP, including HBM, DDR, and LPDDR, as well as Controller IP solutions
• Driving technical resolution of significant customer issues involving integration, silicon bring-up, debug, and deployment across complex design environments
• Serving as a key technical interface between customers and internal engineering teams to align on requirements, resolve issues, and accelerate adoption
• Delivering technical presentations, training, and guidance that strengthen customer understanding and successful deployment of Synopsys solutions
• Creating and improving technical documentation, collateral, and enablement materials that increase product usability and scalability
• Contributing expert insight to product and engineering teams based on customer feedback, field experience, and emerging technical needs
• Staying current with evolving interface and memory protocols such as DDR5, LPDDR6, MRDIMM2, HBM4, PCIe, Ethernet, and UCIe
• Supporting customer engagements globally, including occasional travel of up to 15-20%, depending on location

The Impact You Will Have:

• Strengthen customer success by helping solve complex integration and bring-up challenges in high-impact design environments
• Accelerate adoption of Synopsys Memory Interface and Interface IP through expert technical engagement and trusted customer partnership
• Improve product usability, documentation, and deployment readiness through field-informed technical insight
• Influence product improvements by bringing customer needs, technical patterns, and deployment feedback back into engineering discussions
• Contribute measurable impact to department goals through deep technical expertise, strong customer engagement, and cross-functional collaboration
• Reinforce Synopsys' leadership in advanced interface IP through high-quality technical problem-solving and customer support

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering or a related field, ideally with a VLSI focus
• 10+ years of industry experience with Memory Interface IP such as DDR, LPDDR, and HBM, or other Interface IP including PCIe, Ethernet, and UCIe
• Deep experience with customer-facing applications engineering, technical support, or deployment of complex IP solutions
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, lab debug, and post-silicon technical problem-solving
• Strong understanding of Controller IPs, AMBA bus interfaces, AXI, backend engineering, and ASIC design flows
• Proficiency in Linux, Verilog and/or VHDL, and relevant ASIC development environments
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across customer teams and internal functions

Who You Are:

• A highly capable technical leader who can work independently on complex customer and engineering challenges
• A trusted problem-solver who brings sound judgment to ambiguous and technically significant issues
• A strong collaborator who can influence outcomes across customer and internal cross-functional teams
• An effective communicator who can translate technical complexity into practical guidance and enablement
• A continuous learner who stays current in evolving interface technologies and customer needs

The Team You'll Be A Part Of:

You will be part of a global team of engineers focused on customer success and technical excellence in Memory Interface IP solutions. The team works closely with customers and internal engineering partners to support successful deployment, improve product usability, and help solve complex integration challenges across advanced interface technologies.
