Job Description and Requirements
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 work collaboratively with educators at academic institutions to drive long-term presence and adoption of Synopsys tools in engineering education. Your role requires close collaboration with different teams internally, prioritizing work appropriately while supporting company-wide Academic Program initiatives, with the goal of making a real difference to undergraduate and graduate engineering education worldwide.
Closely aligned with Synopsys Academic Program goals and objectives, your daily activities include educational content development, working closely with key contacts at universities such as professors, researchers, and student teams to grow relationships and tool usage, and providing guidance to strategic universities regarding application of Synopsys products. You bring technical depth in electronics simulation, particularly in electromagnetics and finite element analysis using tools like Ansys HFSS and Maxwell, combined with the ability to translate that expertise into effective educational materials and meaningful academic partnerships.
You are expected to balance content creation with relationship building, moving comfortably between developing a new tutorial series and meeting with a professor to discuss course integration. Your work contributes directly to shaping how the next generation of electrical engineers learns to design and solve complex technical challenges.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Build curriculum materials for electronics simulation courses, including lecture content, tutorials, learning pathways that align with how engineering is actually taught today
  • Work directly with professors, researchers, and student teams at universities to understand their technical needs and help them integrate Ansys HFSS, Maxwell, and related tools into their coursework and research projects
  • Deliver workshops, guest lectures, webinars, and hands-on training sessions on campus and online to drive tool adoption and deepen technical engagement with academic users
  • Collaborate with the academic field sales team and application engineers to develop content plans that reflect real customer feedback, product capabilities, and educational trends
  • Gather feedback from educators and students on how Ansys tools are being used in the classroom and feed that intelligence back to sales, marketing, and product teams
  • Represent Synopsys at conferences, ASEE events, IEEE gatherings, and other academic forums where you will present technical content and build relationships with the engineering education community
  • Support broader Academic Program initiatives as needed, contributing to team projects that strengthen Synopsys' long-term presence in higher education

The Impact You Will Have
  • You will directly influence how thousands of undergraduate and graduate students learn to solve real-world electronics design challenges using industry-standard simulation tools
  • Your curriculum materials will be used by educators across multiple universities, shaping the technical foundation of future engineers entering the workforce
  • The relationships you build with professors and researchers will expand Synopsys tool adoption in academic labs, research programs, and capstone projects
  • Your feedback loops will inform product development and marketing strategies, ensuring Synopsys Academic offerings stay aligned with what educators and students actually need
  • You will help position Synopsys as the go-to partner for electronics engineering education, strengthening long-term adoption in the next generation of engineering professionals
  • Your on-campus presence and technical workshops will create memorable learning experiences that turn students into confident users of Synopsys tools
  • You will contribute to a global Academic Program that reaches universities across time zones, geographies, and engineering disciplines

What You'll Need
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 3+ years of experience in electronics engineering, or a Master's degree with 1+ year of relevant experience in industry or academia
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with Ansys HFSS or similar commercial electromagnetics simulation software, ideally including high-frequency or low-frequency finite element analysis applications
  • Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences
  • Comfort working across time zones with engineers, educators, and researchers from different cultural and technical backgrounds
  • Ability to travel domestically up to 40% of the time for on-campus visits, conferences, and training events
  • A PhD in electrical engineering, electromagnetics, or a related discipline is a strong plus
  • Experience teaching, developing educational content, or working as a teaching assistant at the university level is highly valued
  • Prior exposure to Ansys Maxwell, or experience writing educational materials, research articles, or presenting at technical conferences will set you apart

Who You Are
  • You can walk into a professor's office, listen to their course goals, and walk out with a clear plan for how Ansys tools fit into their syllabus without forcing the issue
  • When you create a tutorial or lecture, you test it from the student's perspective, you know where they will get stuck and you build in the scaffolding to get them through it
  • You are organized enough to juggle content development, campus visits, webinar prep, and internal collaboration without dropping threads or missing deadlines
  • You bring energy to a room, whether that room is a university lab, a Zoom call with 50 students, or a booth at an IEEE conference, and people leave the conversation more confident than when they arrived
  • You are a self-starter who does not wait for perfect direction, you see a gap, propose a solution, and move forward with the team's input
  • You genuinely enjoy meeting new people and learning about their technical work, and that curiosity comes through in every interaction

The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will join the Academic Program team, a group focused on driving technical engagement and adoption of Synopsys tools in universities worldwide. The team's work splits between two core activities: creating technical content that supports teaching and learning of electronics engineering topics, and delivering that content through workshops, lectures, training, demos, and direct support to educators, researchers, and students. Your work will be both creative and customer-facing, and you will collaborate closely with academic field sales, application engineers, and product teams across Synopsys.
Rewards and Benefits
Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
At Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
In addition to the base salary, this role may be eligible for an annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses. Synopsys offers comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits as part of a competitive total rewards package. The actual compensation offered will be based on a number of job-related factors, including location, skills, experience, and education. Your recruiter can share more specific details on the total rewards package upon request. The base salary range for this role is across the U.S.
