You are a seasoned engineering leader with deep expertise in SoC, ASIC, and Silicon IP, combining technical depth with strong program and customer leadership. You translate complex requirements into clear priorities, commitments, and outcomes.You lead high-profile, multi-product programs by aligning R&D, business, and customer teams, anticipating risk, and driving decisive action as scope, schedules, and priorities evolve. You build trust with customers and executives through clear communication, sound judgement, and disciplined execution.At Synopsys, you will apply this leadership to deliver strategic, high-visibility Silicon IP programs, facilitating close collaboration across R&D, business, and customer teams to keep scope, milestones, deliverables, and issues on track.

• Oversee key customer milestones for high-profile multi-products programs, ensuring alignment across R&D targets, business goals, and customer objectives
• Translate technical requirements and customer priorities into clear scope, executable plans, milestones, dependencies, and risk-mitigation actions.
• Lead global cross-functional global teams through the full Silicon IP project lifecycle, from initial planning and scoping through tape-out and delivery
• Establish and manage integrated schedules and milestone tracking using Jira, MS Project, or equivalent platforms, with clear ownership and accountability.
• Provide concise executive and customer status, highlighting progress, trade-offs, risks, decisions, and recovery plans while partnering with R&D on product enhancements and roadmap priorities.
• Analyze project performance metrics, ensure quality assurance standards, maintain customer satisfaction, and manage projects within budgetary constraints

• Deliver high-value Silicon IP solutions that enable next-generation AI, IoT, automotive, and connectivity technologies across the semiconductor industry
• Strengthen Synopsys' reputation as a trusted partner by consistently meeting customer milestones and maintaining transparent, proactive communication
• Drive operational excellence across global engineering teams, reducing cycle time and improving delivery predictability on complex multi-product programs
• Influence new product features and roadmap decisions based on direct customer feedback, market trends, and technical feasibility assessments
• Build durable relationships with customers and internal teams that create long-term partnership value and repeat business
• Mentor engineering project leads and program coordinators, raising the bar for how technical programs are run across the organization
• Shape process improvements that get adopted across other programs, making the entire Silicon IP portfolio easier to plan, execute, and scale

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or Applied Science with 10+ years of experience in semiconductor, ASIC, SOC, or Silicon IP development
• Proven track record managing customer expectations, communications, and milestone commitments on complex technical programs
• Background in Mixed-Signal IP, SOC, ASIC, or semiconductor development environments
• Knowledge of PCIe and Ethernet protocols is a strong plus
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies, including scheduling, risk management, and milestone tracking
• Familiarity with quality management system processes and procedures in regulated or customer-driven engineering environments
• Comfort working in Linux environments and navigating engineering toolchains and workflows

• You can walk into a room with engineers debating a technical tradeoff and walk out with a plan that satisfies the customer, the product team, and the schedule
• When a milestone slips or scope changes, you do not panic, you assess impact, communicate options, and help the team decide what to do next
• You know how to say no when a request does not align with program goals, and you can explain why in a way that keeps the relationship intact
• You motivate teams not with speeches but by removing blockers, clarifying priorities, and making sure people know their work matters
• You learn new tools and processes quickly, whether it is a new project tracking system, a customer portal, or an internal R&D workflow
• You stay calm under pressure, especially when multiple customers are asking for updates and the engineering team is heads-down fixing a critical issue
