WORK HISTORY
Senior Applications Engineer @Synopsys Inc
Reading, GB
I help semiconductor teams move confidently from RTL to sign‑off by turning complex EDA toolchains into pragmatic, repeatable physical‑design flows that improve PPA and predictability. My role spans pre‑sales evaluations, post‑sales success, and R&D feedback.What I do:Client Support & Delivery: Advise on end‑to‑end digital implementation and consult on flow choices, environment bring‑up, and unblocking - ensuring clean handoff from RTL to physical implementation and sign‑off.Product Focus (PD tools): Specialize in Fusion Compiler and RTL Architect, with hands‑on guidance for constraints, hierarchical partitioning, CTS/CCD tuning, and late‑stage optimization.Pre‑Sales → Post‑Sales: Lead pre‑sales campaigns (scoping, demos, success criteria) and drive post‑sales adoption (method setup, issue triage, best‑practice rollout) for seamless integration.R&D Collaboration: Partner with product and R&D teams to surface field requirements and shape tailored features/flows aligned to customer needs.Enablement & Playbooks: Package proven practices into re‑usable templates, workshops, and playbooks (design‑planning checklists, SDC/CTS patterns, post‑route tuning guidance) adopted by field teams and customers.Programs & Community: Design and run multi‑track technical PD programs apply the same playbook in academia by mentoring RTL→GDS projects and curating labs.Educational Outreach & Recruitment: Support university and early‑career initiatives to grow the next generation of PD talent.Event Organization: Plan and execute technical events for customers and internal teams to foster engagement and strategic partnerships.

ABOUT ALEXANDER VINOKUROV
I’m a Senior Applications Engineer at Synopsys, focused on physical design and digital implementation - helping teams move confidently from RTL to tapeout. Over the last two years I’ve led hierarchical design‑planning, constraints and timing strategy, and implementation enablement across floorplanning, CTS/CCD, routing, and post‑route optimization.At Synopsys, I support semiconductor customers end‑to‑end: I lead pre‑sales evaluations, deliver post‑sales support, and collaborate with R&D to shape product capabilities and tailored flows. I also coordinate large customer training events and university mentoring programs.I hold an MEng (First Class) in Electronic & Electrical Engineering (University of Bath). Earlier, a year‑long Keysight Technologies internship broadened my technical depth and customer empathy, and sparked a lasting interest in RTL development and client collaboration. I’m a curious, collaborative engineer with a strong work ethic and problem‑solving mindset. Have full right to work in the UK (ILR)
