Senior Staff Consulting Engineer, Electromagnetics, Power & Systems

We Are

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. 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 are a customer-focused engineering professional who combines deep expertise in electromagnetics and high-power electronics, finite element analysis, and simulation automation with strong communication and consulting skills. You translate complex technical needs into practical strategies, lead workshops and consulting engagements with engineering teams and executive stakeholders, and use Python-based automation and modern simulation methods to accelerate insights and product development. As a trusted advisor and collaborative partner, you deliver measurable customer value, expand tool adoption, strengthen technical partnerships, and build capabilities that last beyond each engagement.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead customer-facing consulting engagements from scoping through delivery, owning the technical strategy and execution of simulation workflows
• Develop Statements of Work and services proposals that address customer needs with a clear strategy and well-defined technical scope
• Lead workshops and technical sessions with customer engineering teams to identify workflow gaps, establish best practices, and define a future-state vision using Synopsys simulation and analysis tools
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across multiphysics simulation environments, working hands-on to resolve blockers that affect customer timelines and tool adoption
• Partner with Sales, Product, and Marketing teams to translate customer feedback into actionable product insights and service offerings that address market gaps
• Build trusted advisor relationships with customer stakeholders, bridging engineering teams and business decision-makers
• Mentor junior consultants and develop repeatable methodologies, frameworks, and enablement materials that scale across the consulting organization

The Impact You Will Have

• Improve customer simulation workflows to reduce time to insight and accelerate product development for next-generation systems
• Increase adoption and utilization of Synopsys tools by delivering engagements that demonstrate value and build internal champions
• Shape the roadmap for Synopsys Professional Services offerings by identifying customer needs, technical gaps, and emerging use cases
• Strengthen customer retention and expansion through consulting engagements that deliver high customer satisfaction, demonstrate a clear return on investment, and deepen technical partnerships
• Build lasting capabilities within customer teams through workshops, mentoring, and knowledge transfer
• Inform product development priorities by bringing real-world customer feedback and use cases to Synopsys engineering and product teams

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related technical discipline
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in engineering simulation, process optimization, or technical consulting, working directly with customers or internal engineering teams
• Deep expertise in one or more of the following: electric machines, power electronics, system-level simulation, or EMC/EMI analysis.
• Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, circuit and control fundamentals, and multiphysics coupling (thermal and structural).
• Hands-on proficiency with Ansys Maxwell, Motor-CAD, Twin Builder/ Simplorer , Q3D, HFSS, or equivalent tools.
• Experience automating workflows using Python, product APIs, and general-purpose Python libraries
• Strong communication skills and the ability to present technical concepts to engineering teams and executive stakeholders; experience leading workshops or training sessions is a plus
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently across multiple priorities.
• A collaborative teammate who shares knowledge and mentors others.
• Willingness to occasionally travel for customer engagements, workshops, and on-site consulting delivery

Who You Are

• You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a messy technical problem, and walk out with a scoped engagement that addresses the real issue without overselling or underdelivering
• You explain a complex electromagnetic coupling issue to a VP in two sentences without losing the nuance, and you know when to go deeper and when to stop
• You are self-motivated and comfortable working independently across multiple priorities, managing your own time and deliverables without needing daily direction
• You share what you learn, whether that is a new Python script, a troubleshooting method, or a lesson from a tough customer engagement, because you know it makes the whole team stronger
• You troubleshoot production simulation issues with patience and precision, knowing that the customer's product launch depends on you finding the root cause, not just a workaround
• You are a collaborative teammate who mentors others, contributes to shared knowledge bases, and helps junior consultants grow their technical and consulting skills
