Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop new and highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics in order to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board and system design.

We are currently looking for a talented Application Engineer to join our team in Israel.

Position Overview

The Application Engineer role is a customer-facing position that helps drive Siemens EDA Custom IC (CIC) circuit design and simulation technologies, with emphasis on Solido products, the world's leading tools for variation-aware design and characterization of standard cell, memory, and analog/RF designs.

This position combines technical depth in circuit design, verification, and applications knowledge (e.g., transceivers, RFIC, high-speed I/O, and signal conditioning), as well as solid communication skills, previous organization management experience including leading technical sales teams, and strong team building skills.

The Application Engineer manages multiple customer engagements concurrently and must be very effective at customer relationships. This customer interface is not only at the engineering level, but first or second level management, as well. The Application Engineer must align with Account Managers to exceed quota, as they proactively manage customer accounts to success. This could include account planning and developing solutions to customer problems, ultimately resulting in revenue. Success involves working as a team with sales, marketing, and R&D organizations.

Sales and support responsibilities include assessing customer technical requirements, conducting product demonstrations, running evaluations, and driving product adoption.

The successful candidate must be able to travel (at least 25%) to cover multiple accounts.
