Description
You have spent years at the intersection of deep technical expertise and customer engagement, and you have learned that winning a deal is not about showing every feature, it is about understanding the customer’s real problem and proving you can solve it before they sign. You think in proof points, not product pitches. You know the difference between a demo that impresses and a technical evaluation that builds confidence, and you care deeply about that difference.
When you walk into a customer meeting with a sales team, you listen first. You map their design challenges, their timeline pressure, their past tool frustrations, and you shape your technical approach around what will actually move them forward. You have debugged enough FPGA prototypes to know where customers get stuck, partitioning that does not scale, clock domain issues that surface at bring-up, debug flows that eat weeks, and you use that knowledge to de-risk their evaluation and accelerate their decision.
You are comfortable leading a technical deep-dive with a senior architect one day and presenting an ROI-focused solution overview to a VP the next. You do not wait for perfect conditions to engage. You work with what the customer gives you, ask the right questions, propose a clear path, and move the opportunity forward. At Synopsys, you will work on HAPS FPGA prototyping platforms and ProtoCompiler, partnering with sales to win complex, high-stakes deals where your technical credibility makes the difference.
