About the Role
This role involves supporting automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Korea with pre-sales and post-sales technical engagements focused on optical simulation for various automotive applications. You will build proof of concept demonstrations, develop AI-assisted workflows, lead technical trainings, and create technical documentation. The impact of this role includes enabling customers to validate optical system designs virtually, accelerating product launches, and establishing Synopsys optical simulation tools as the standard in the Korean automotive market.
Responsibilities
- Support automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in Korea with pre-sales and post-sales technical engagements focused on optical simulation for exterior lighting, interior lighting, camera systems, HUD, LiDAR, and ADAS applications
- Build proof of concept demonstrations that show how simulation reduces development cycles, improves design quality, and accelerates time to market for automotive optical systems
- Develop and demonstrate AI-assisted workflows that integrate simulation tools like Zemax or Speos with Python automation, data analytics, and emerging AI technologies to enhance engineering productivity
- Lead technical trainings, workshops, and customer seminars on automotive optical simulation methodologies, sensor performance evaluation, virtual prototyping, and system-level validation
- Create technical documentation, application notes, best-practice guidelines, and localized marketing materials including webinars, blogs, and release communications tailored to automotive optical use cases
- Collaborate on the development of new simulation methodologies and contribute to technical papers, conference presentations, and industry publications
- Explore and prototype how generative AI tools and agentic AI can improve design exploration, decision-making workflows, and simulation efficiency in automotive contexts
Requirements
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics, Photonics, or a related engineering discipline
- 1 to 3 years of relevant industrial experience in automotive optical system development including cameras, LiDAR, HUD, HMI displays, interior monitoring systems, or automotive lighting
- Hands-on experience with optical simulation and design tools such as Zemax, Speos, or equivalent platforms, with strong fundamentals in optics and photonics
- Working proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++ for automation and workflow development
- Working level English communication skills for technical documentation, customer engagement, and collaboration with global teams
- Experience applying AI/ML techniques to engineering, simulation, or product development workflows is a plus
- Ansys Lumerical, Ansys Mechanical, Code V, RSoft, or Light-tools is a plus
- Ability to walk into a technical meeting with an automotive engineer, understand their design challenge in real time, and sketch out a simulation approach that addresses it before the meeting ends
- Comfortable working across languages and cultures, translating technical concepts for Korean-speaking customers while collaborating with global engineering teams
- Ability to learn new tools and technologies quickly
- Adaptability in delivering workshops or demos based on audience interest and questions
- Product-oriented thinking, caring about adoption, usability, and workflow utilization
- Organization skills to manage multiple customer engagements, proof of concepts, and deliverables
