About this role
Distinguished Engineer, Advanced Packaging Solutions We Are Synopsys delivers silicon-to-systems design solutions that help engineering teams build the next generation of AI-powered products. Our software, IP, simulation, and analysis platforms enable customers to solve complex design challenges across semiconductors, systems, and advanced packaging. You Are You have spent your career near the physical limits of semiconductor design, where architecture, manufacturability, and performance intersect. You understand that advanced packaging is now part of system architecture, not a downstream implementation step. You think deeply about algorithms and data structures, but you have also shipped production software that real design teams depend on. At Synopsys, you will help shape package substrate design automation within 3DIC Compiler, enabling advanced multi-die systems for AI, high-performance computing, and heterogeneous integration.
What You'll Be Doing
Architect and drive package substrate design automation capabilities within the 3DIC Compiler platform. Design and implement production-grade algorithms for HDI substrate auto-routing, design rule checking, power delivery network analysis, and design for manufacturability. Build scalable C/C++ software for advanced packaging designs, including multi-die chiplets and heterogeneous integration. Partner with customers, product teams, and R&D to translate design bottlenecks into durable technical solutions. Lead architecture reviews and influence technical decisions across the 3DIC product portfolio. Mentor engineers and raise the bar on algorithmic rigor, performance, and software quality. The Impact You Will Have Define capabilities that enable next-generation advanced packaging designs for AI, high-performance computing, and other complex systems. Reduce design cycle time for customers working on HDI substrates, chiplets, and multi-die architectures. Drive algorithmic advances in auto-routing, power delivery, and design for manufacturability. Shape a strategic Synopsys product line used by leading semiconductor companies.
What You'll Need
Deep expertise in advanced packaging or package substrate design, routing, power delivery, and manufacturability. Proven experience building production software products at scale. Strong algorithmic foundation for physical design automation challenges. Expert-level C/C++ skills for performance-critical, large-scale systems. Experience in at least one related domain: custom IC design automation, auto-routing, physical verification, or substrate design tools. Advanced degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on R&D experience. Track record of technical leadership through architecture ownership, product influence, publications, or patents. How You Think and Build You see advanced packaging as a systems problem across substrate architecture, connectivity, signal and power integrity, thermal behavior, manufacturability, and tool performance. You thrive in ambiguous technical problems where strong product judgment matters as much as algorithmic depth. You translate customer pain into scalable software architecture. You challenge assumptions with clarity, data, and respect. You care about engineering craft: performance, maintainability, testability, and extensibility. Why This Role Is Different This is a chance to help define how engineering teams design, analyze, and sign off the next generation of multi-die systems. As AI, high-performance computing, and heterogeneous integration push beyond monolithic scaling, package
