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 spent the last few years building desktop applications that engineers actually rely on, not throwaway prototypes, but tools that run long simulations, manage complex workflows, and need to work every time. You understand that a ribbon menu is not just chrome, it is how someone finds the feature that saves them three hours on a Friday afternoon. You have written enough C# and WPF to know when XAML data binding will save you pain and when it will create it, and you make that call without needing a committee.

You are comfortable reading Tcl scripts even if you did not write them, because you know that legacy layers are not technical debt, they are the product, and your job is to make them work together. Debugging across managed and native boundaries does not scare you. You reproduce customer issues methodically, write the fix, add the regression test, and move to the next one. You ask good questions when requirements are thin, and you ship when they are clear enough. At Synopsys, you will work on Saber, a multi-domain simulation platform used by power electronics engineers to validate designs before hardware exists, and what you build will directly affect how fast they can iterate.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and implement user-facing features for SaberRD desktop applications using C# and WPF, including ribbon controls, property editors, docked workspaces, experiment workflows, and simulation setup dialogs
• Extend and maintain Tcl/AIM application logic for menus, dialogs, experiment forms, and schematic-adjacent workflows, collaborating across C#, Tcl, and native code layers
• Build and enhance Experiment Analyzer and Guide UX flows, including task trees, analysis wizards, measurement and report generation, and batch, Monte Carlo, sensitivity, and stress analysis workflows
• Reproduce, root-cause, and resolve customer-reported issues end to end, delivering fixes with appropriate regression and UI automation tests to prevent future breaks
• Work directly with Application Engineers to translate domain-specific needs from power electronics and system validation into reliable, usable product features
• Add regression coverage using MSTest, UI automation frameworks, and scripted test drivers to protect existing behavior as the codebase evolves
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint planning within a Perforce-based R&D environment, documenting your work clearly for peers and support teams

The Impact You Will Have

• Accelerate customer workflows by delivering features and fixes that eliminate friction in multi-domain simulation setup, experiment orchestration, and results analysis
• Reduce support escalations by addressing root causes of UI issues and adding test coverage that catches problems before they reach the field
• Enable faster adoption of Saber's statistical and parametric analysis capabilities through intuitive, reliable experiment and analysis UX
• Improve product quality and maintainability by building automated tests that protect complex UI workflows across C#, WPF, Tcl, and native layers
• Shorten customer project schedules by helping engineers validate power electronics and automotive designs faster with fewer tool-related delays
• Strengthen collaboration between R&D, Application Engineering, and customers by translating technical requirements into working software with clear documentation
• Contribute to a growing AI-assisted development culture that improves engineering velocity without sacrificing code quality or security

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or equivalent with strong software development focus
• 2 to 3 years of professional experience in object-oriented programming and desktop or engineering tool development
• Strong proficiency in C#, .NET Framework, and WPF, including XAML, data binding, user controls, and MVVM or equivalent design patterns
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design principles such as modularity, maintainability, and OOP
• Experience building or extending complex desktop applications with multi-window UI, property grids, trees, grids, long-running operations, and robust error handling
• Strong debugging skills on Windows using Visual Studio, with ability to work across managed and native code stacks
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, able to collaborate with distributed teams and customer-facing engineers. Experience with Tcl/Tk or similar scripting in host applications, WinForms and WPF interop, or third-party UI frameworks like Infragistics is a plus

Who You Are

• You reproduce customer issues systematically, write clear root-cause notes, and add regression tests so the same problem does not come back six months later
• You can read a Tcl script you did not write, trace it through a C# callback layer, and figure out where the property editor is getting the wrong value without needing a walkthrough
• You write code that other engineers can pick up and extend, your variable names make sense, your commits explain why, and your tests actually fail when the feature breaks
• You are comfortable using AI-assisted tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot to speed up investigation and prototyping, but you review and validate every suggestion before committing
• You know when to ask for clarification and when to make a reasonable assumption and keep moving, and you document the assumptions you make so the next person is not guessing
• You can explain a tradeoff between UI responsiveness and simulation accuracy to an Application Engineer in two sentences without losing the nuance
