Senior Aerospace Applications Engineer

We Are

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate chip-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 have built things, broken things, and figured out why they broke. Engineering simulation is not abstract to you. It is the tool you use to answer real questions about real systems, and you have learned that the hardest part is not running the software but framing the problem correctly in the first place. You like being the person who gets the call when something is not working, not because you know every answer, but because you know how to find it.

You are comfortable moving between a customer's orbital mechanics questions and a Python script that automates their workflow. You do not need perfect documentation to be useful. You read between the lines, ask clarifying questions, and get people unstuck. When a customer says, 'it is not working,' you know that means ten different things, and you are patient enough to figure out which one.

You have a bias toward solving the problem in front of you, not the one you wish they had asked. At Synopsys, you will work with customers who are designing satellites, testing defense systems, and modeling complex missions. 

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide technical support to customers using Digital Mission Engineering tools including STK, ODTK, TETK, and related products, troubleshooting issues across astrodynamics, RF, optical systems, and mission analysis workflows
• Reproduce customer issues, isolate root causes, and deliver solutions using a combination of engineering knowledge, software expertise, and the internal Ansys support toolset
• Write and test code in Python, MATLAB, C++, or Java to help customers automate workflows, integrate tools, or validate results
• Document defects, verify fixes, and submit product improvement requests based on real customer feedback and recurring technical challenges
• Deliver webinars, product demonstrations, and technical training sessions to support customer onboarding and adoption
• Participate in field testing of new software releases to ensure features work in real-world customer environments before general availability
• Collaborate with Sales, Product, and Engineering teams to translate customer needs into actionable product direction

The Impact You Will Have

• Enable customers to solve mission-critical engineering problems faster, whether that is optimizing satellite trajectories, modeling RF link performance, or validating complex system behaviors
• Reduce time to value for new customers by helping them integrate Ansys tools into their existing workflows and design processes
• Improve product quality by surfacing real-world use cases, edge cases, and workflow gaps that internal teams would not catch on their own
• Build long-term customer relationships that increase adoption, renewal, and expansion of Ansys solutions across aerospace, defense, and commercial space sectors
• Contribute to a knowledge base and internal best practices tha
