About this role

At Synopsys, we drive innovations that shape how we live and connect, central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence. Our technology powers self-driving cars, learning machines, and high-performance silicon chips. In this role, you will solve complex engineering challenges for the Aerospace & Defense and Intelligence communities.

You will lead technical activities throughout the sales opportunity lifecycle, from discovery to demonstrations and post-sales support. Working closely with customers, you will analyze system-level requirements using Digital Mission Engineering tools like STK and ODTK, and articulate the value of integrated solutions.

Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams is key. You will partner with account teams, ACE teams, and customers to integrate high-fidelity models into system-level workflows. By translating customer feedback into new features, you will help shape product development and test releases on real-world problems.

This position offers the chance to engage with mission-critical government and defense projects. You will provide technical leadership, guide customers in optimizing their workflows, and support deployment of sophisticated software solutions in a fast-paced, timeline-driven environment.

Requirements

Background in engineering, physics, or computer science providing a strong foundation for systems engineering.
Experience in the Aerospace & Defense and Intelligence communities, with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges.
Proven ability to translate technical requirements into actionable strategies using advanced software tools.
Proficiency with Digital Mission Engineering tools such as STK and ODTK, and model-based systems engineering approaches.
Strong interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with clients, stakeholders, and colleagues from technical staff to C-suite executives.
Ability to provide technical leadership, guide customers in optimizing workflows, and support deployment of software solutions.
U.S. citizenship required due to government security and access requirements; ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
