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 a technical foundation in full-stack development where debugging production systems across multiple architectural layers is standard work. You navigate unfamiliar codebases by reading the implementation, understanding the data flow, and identifying the failure point without requiring extensive onboarding. Technical ownership at the staff level means end-to-end accountability for system architecture, release integrity, operational stability, and the maintainability decisions that determine whether a codebase scales or decays. You recognize that sustaining production software demands more than feature delivery. It requires establishing robust testing frameworks, comprehensive documentation, repeatable deployment processes, and knowledge transfer mechanisms that reduce organizational risk. When customer issues surface involving configuration dependencies, hardware integration failures, and environment-specific conditions, you conduct root cause analysis, reproduce the failure in controlled environments, and deliver either a resolution or actionable technical guidance. You translate complex technical problems into clear communication for support engineers, hardware specialists, and end users while preserving the technical accuracy required for effective resolution. At Synopsys, you will own a production application that enables critical hardware engineering workflows, and your technical decisions will directly determine system reliability and user productivity. What You'll Be Doing Own the full technical stack for a production application used by hardware and prototyping teams, including React frontend, Node.js backend, build pipelines, release packaging, and deployment workflows Trace and resolve issues that span the UI, APIs, backend services, shell scripts, SQLite databases, Linux and Windows environments, network configurations, and connected hardware Drive feature development from requirements through design, implementation, testing, packaging, and production release Diagnose customer issues involving remote scanning, hardware communication, configuration errors, and multi-system dependencies, working directly with users and support teams to resolve them Coordinate with hardware, systems, and engineering teams to clarify requirements, prioritize work, and align technical decisions with real-world use cases Improve system reliability and reduce operational risk by writing clear documentation, building repeatable processes, establishing automated tests, and eliminating single points of failure tied to individual knowledge Make technical decisions about architecture, tooling, dependencies, and workflows that balance i
