We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. 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 are someone who will drive Synopsys LVS (Layout vs Schematic Checking) Product Strategies for established process nodes and advanced process nodes to support advanced market needs. You will influence a team of experienced technical product managers and associated staff to drive adoption of Synopsys LVS Product Strategies for Established Process Nodes and all advanced process nodes that are also part of the rapidly evolving established process node ecosystem due to the rapidly expanding 3D and Chiplet market. You will be driving awareness for the need to consider connectivity for the ecosystem across all process nodes that are used in a 3D system, including Foundries, Fabless Companies, and IP companies, coaching and explaining to designers how regardless of process node the complexity of designs require advanced reliability checking.

You are able to work with the PMG Executive Directors and Global Sales to not only define product requirements for established LVS node, but their interaction with advanced process nodes as well. You can influence at high levels, working with product management, R&D, and Sales to help expand the Synopsys relationships with key established node industry leaders to continuously move our ICV LVS initiatives forward. You are highly motivated, with a drive for moving the market forward and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, product management and sales teams to ensure alignment to initiatives. You are comfortable working as an individual contributor on some special projects in addition to helping create the Established Nodes ICV LVS Product team over time.

What You'll Be Doing

The Impact You Will Have

What You'll Need

• 15+ years of relevant EDA/semiconductor product management and marketing experience
• BS in Electrical Engineering and or Device Physics required. MS in your field desired
• Deep understanding of Semiconductor ecosystem, and expertise with interpreting and negotiating Foundry LVS Design Rule Manuals to assist R&D to write efficient ICV LVS design kits
• Proven ability to work with senior management to help create a product management team that can support Synopsys Technical Sales, product teams, and customers worldwide
• Be known within the semiconductor ecosystem with relationships within the LVS organizations of leading semiconductor companies to carry the message of the need of ICV LVS in established process nodes
• Can influence within Product Management Group and all other organizations within Synopsys EDA
• Exceptional ability to drive and achieve results by yourself and others under time pressure
• Excellent presentation, communications, and interpersonal skills
• Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time to interact directly with customers and Technical Sales

Who You Are

• You can walk into a meeting with a foundry partner and leave with clarity on what their LVS Design Rule Manual actually means for your R&D team, not just what it says
• You are comfortable being the only person in the room who sees the connection between established node LVS and the 3D Chiplet ecosystem, and you know how to bring others along without overselling
• You do not need a fully staffed team to get started, you can operate as an individual contributor on critical initiatives while simultaneously building the organization around you
• You push back when a product requirement is too vague or a go-to-market plan does not account for the realities of how foundries and fabless companies actually work together
• You can explain a complex tradeoff between LVS accuracy and runtime performance to a VP in two sentences without losing the technical nuance
• You thrive under time pressure and know how to drive results through influence, not just process

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will work with senior management to create a team focused on expanding Synopsys LVS product offerings and market positioning in the established node design environment. This team will collaborate closely with Line of Business product management, sales, and R&D to align LVS established node ecosystem offerings with advanced process nodes as part of Synopsys ICV overall strategic goals. As a key component of the Synopsys EDA Product Management Group, you will identify and cultivate new opportunities, drive collaborative initiatives, and promote joint programs to deliver LVS solutions that address the shift from single-node design to multi-node 3D and Chiplet architectures.
