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 know your way around a profiler and you can read the output without needing to Google every metric.

You have debugged MPI communication bottlenecks, wrestled with build systems that span multiple platforms, and written code that has to perform consistently whether it is running on a local workstation or a cloud-based HPC cluster. At Synopsys, you will work on simulation software that shapes how products get designed across industries. Design, implement, and optimize parallel programming methods within Ansys Mechanical solver products using MPI, GPU programming models like CUDA, HIP, SYCL, OpenMP, and other HPC frameworks

Profile solver performance across CPU and GPU architectures using tools like Intel VTune, NVIDIA Nsight, or similar, and translate findings into actionable performance improvements

Build and maintain code benchmarking suites that track solver performance across releases and catch regressions before they ship

Drive adoption of modular, hardware‑agnostic HPC programming models across multiple solver codebases, working with development teams to ensure consistency and reusability

Collaborate with numerical methods experts to translate complex algorithmic requirements into performant, maintainable software designs

Support procurement, configuration, and management of HPC development and testing platforms, including on‑premise clusters and cloud‑based environments

Own packaging, build system work, and DevOps tooling using CMake, Azure DevOps, Conan, Docker, or CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment and testing workflows

Reduce solve times for engineering simulations used by leading companies across automotive, aerospace, energy, and electronics industries

Enable customers to run larger, more complex models by making solvers scale efficiently across hundreds or thousands of cores

Accelerate the adoption of GPU computing in production simulation workflows, unlocking new performance tiers for users with modern hardware

Improve developer productivity across multiple solver teams by building reusable HPC frameworks and shared tooling

Ensure performance consistency and reliability across solver releases through rigorous benchmarking and regression testing

Help shape the technical direction of Synopsys simulation products as HPC architectures and customer workloads continue to evolve

Support faster iteration cycles for product development teams by streamlining build, test, and deployment infrastructure

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field with 2+ years of experience, or Master’s degree in a related field. PhD preferred.

Strong hands‑on experience with HPC software design, testing, and deployment in production or research environments

Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and performance considerations in parallel computing contexts

Proficiency in Fortran and C/C++ for performance‑critical code development

Experience with MPI and distributed memory programming models

Experience with GPU hardware and at least one GPU programming model such as CUDA, HIP, SYCL/oneAPI, OpenMP, OpenACC, or Kokkos is a strong plus

You ask clarifying questions when a requirement is vague rather than guessing and building the wrong thing

You stay current with HPC architecture trends and programming models without needing to be told, because you care about building software that will still perform well two hardware generations from now

You will work within the Ansys Mechanical R&D organization, collaborating with numerical methods experts, solver developers, and other HPC engineers across a geographically distributed team. Your work will directly support the performance and scalability of industry‑leading simulation products used by engineers worldwide to design and validate critical systems.
