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 3-5 years of hands-on experience in signal integrity, power integrity, or EMC, ideally in a design, test, or product development environment Expert-level working knowledge of ANSYS HFSS, SIwave, and Q3D, you should be able to set up, run, and debug complex simulations without a tutorial Fluency in written and spoken English, you will be writing technical reports, leading customer calls, and presenting to engineering teams in English regularly Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time across Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region to support customers on-site Experience with other electromagnetic simulation or ECAD tools is a strong plus, especially if you have used them in competitive contexts Prior work in a customer-facing role, whether as a field engineer, applications engineer, or technical consultant, is valued ### Who You Are You can walk into a customer meeting with incomplete information, ask the right questions, and leave with a clear action plan that both sides believe in You are comfortable saying 'I do not know, but I will find out' and then actually following through, customers trust you because you do not bluff your way through gaps You can explain a complex SI/PI tradeoff to a hardware engineer in two sentences and then turn around and brief a sales director on why the deal is at risk without losing the technical thread You manage multiple customer projects at once without dropping details, you know which issue needs a same-day response and which one can wait until next week You push back when a simulation setup does not make sense or a customer request is based on a misunderstanding, but you do it in a way that keeps the relationship intact You are energized by solving hard problems with people who care about getting the answer right, not by polishing slides or attending status meetings The Team You'll Be Part Of Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process. 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. #AnsysJob ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 7 days - Location: Seoul, South Korea[Apply on Synopsys’s careers site →](https://careers.synopsys.com/job/seoul/applications-engineering-staff-engineer/44408/101381296432) ## More jobs at Synopsys ### [Applications Engineering, Sr Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/synopsys/jobs/e68d952856220b126d95/) Seoul, South Korea ### [ASIC DFT Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/synopsys/jobs/a699cc26632524bfabe0/) Wuhan, China ### [ASIC Digital Verification, Sr Staff Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/synopsys/jobs/f73dfa488a02422dfef3/) Eindhoven, Netherlands ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Staff Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/infineon-technologies/jobs/d2a6d89fcebbf083ca4d/) Infineon Technologies · Bangalore ### [Staff Engineer, System Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/infineon-technologies/jobs/b31b82655086656c8e07/) Infineon Technologies · Bangalore BTP ### [Staff/Sr Staff/Principal Engineer - Yield & Diagnostics Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/ad0e216957302cdab622/) Qualcomm · Bangalore, India ### [Hardware Design Engineer – Application Engineering, Staff](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/f5e23b5b2d1c68460bb5/) Qualcomm · Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ### [Senior Staff Engineer, Technology Development Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sandisk/jobs/ab7cb51cd4bfa56eb843/) Sandisk OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
