General Responsibilities
As Synopsys engages with clients in the application of our software security improvement methodologies, the Security Consultant joins in the execution and delivery of planned project deliverables and milestones that assist clients in learning, understanding, and applying Synopsys's secure software development methodologies.  The Security Consultant typically has task responsibility within one project and develops the capability to perform tasks within one or more of Synopsys's security practices. The Security Consultant continuously learns and expands his/her technical competence. Security Consultants do some work from the office/home, but often go on site to help customers exterminate the bugs and untangle the flaws that make their systems insecure.  Our Security Consultants make themselves and their team indispensable advisors to our customers: they build the relationships that help create and identify follow-on assignments.
