About the role

Synopsys seeks a field engineer to deploy emulation and prototyping hardware at customer sites and internal labs. You will troubleshoot complex hardware, firmware, and system‑level issues, travel up to 70%, and collaborate with Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing, and R&D to improve reliability and deployment readiness. You will document outcomes, participate in validation, and support projects through installation, upgrades, and field escalations. A strong FPGA/verification background is a plus.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
