What You’ll Be Doing: 

• You will work with the Executive Director of Synopsys ICV for Established Nodes to conceptualize, prototype, and validate AI use models across the Synopsys ICV offering. These use models will be applicable for development and QA of core Synopsys ICV products and for customer applications throughout the Synopsys ICV product line. Special focus will be on the application of AI within strategies for Synopsys ICV established process node designs that align with advanced process nodes on the same 3D system and with overall Synopsys ICV broader business objectives.
• You will work with the rest of the 3D established node product managers to train and educate Synopsys Technical sales. Also work with Technical Sales to explain how to address customer unique requirements that calls for funded customization and support.
• You will work closely with the rest of Synopsys ICV product management, R&D and sales teams to align ICV AI based needs with Synopsys product development and go-to-market strategies.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate Synopsys’ ICV strategic positioning in the 3D and Chiplet established node market via identification and development of competitive differentiation using AI based techniques.
• Strengthen Synopsys’ influence and thought leadership within the semiconductor ecosystem and customer base through compelling presentations and engagement via AI driven use models as how Synopsys ICV is the solutions for the new 3D/Chiplet market.

What You’ll Need:

• 10+ years of relevant EDA/semiconductor product management experience. 
• 5+ years of experience in development of solutions that include AI and LLM techniques
• BS/MS, in Electrical Engineering and or Device Physics required.  PhD or MBA in your field desired.
• Understanding of Semiconductor ecosystem, and expertise with Foundry, EDA PDK development and associated relationships for DRC functions and Rules.
• Proven ability to work with Product Management senior managers to help define what is a customer specific need vs a general market requirement where they could be an industry leading teacher-customer.
• Exceptional ability to drive and achieve results by yourself and others under time pressure.
• Excellent presentation, communications, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to travel at least 20% of the time.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will be working with senior management to create a dynamic team focused on greatly expanding Synopsys’ ICV product offerings and market positioning in the established node/3D design environment. This team will work closely with Line of Business (LoB) product management, sales, and R&D to align ecosystem offerings with Synopsys’ ICV overall strategic goals. As a key component of the overall Synopsys EDA Product Management Group, this team will identify and cultivate new opportunities, drive collaborative initiatives, and promote joint marketing programs to deliver solutions to the semiconductor market that mutual established node customers need as the world moves into multiple ways to design their offerings.  It is no longer just “let’s go to the next process node” but a “how do we best design this” world.
