The ideal candidate has a strong technical background in semiconductor design and proven project leadership skills.
Responsibilities
- Manage end-to-end delivery of high-speed SerDes PHY IP projects from definition through tapeout and customer deployment
- Lead cross-functional project teams including design engineers, verification engineers, and layout specialists to execute against aggressive schedules
- Partner with R&D and Marketing to define project roadmaps, prioritize features, and align technical deliverables with market requirements
- Identify resource gaps, manage project risks, and resolve cross-team dependencies before they block progress
- Drive process improvements across the engineering organization, implementing best practices that reduce cycle time and improve quality
- Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support teams on pre-sales technical engagement and post-sales issue resolution
- Deliver regular status updates to executive leadership and customers, translating technical progress into business outcomes
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 8+ years of relevant experience, or Master's/PhD with 6+ years
- Deep technical knowledge of IC design, ASIC development flows, and semiconductor IP integration, particularly in mixed-signal or SerDes domains
- Proven track record leading complex engineering projects in a high-tech environment, ideally in semiconductor IP or ASIC development
- Strong risk management and change management skills, with experience navigating technical uncertainty and scope changes without derailing schedules
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, you can explain technical tradeoffs to executives and translate customer requirements into actionable engineering plans
- Experience with SerDes PHY IP, high-speed interface standards like PCIe, USB, or Ethernet is a strong plus
- Familiarity with project management methodologies and tools, whether Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches tailored to hardware development
Desired Qualifications
- Can walk into a project review, quickly assess whether the team is on track or at risk, and ask the two questions that get to the real issue
- When a customer escalation lands on your desk, you do not panic or deflect, you pull the right people together, get to root cause, and own the path to resolution
- Comfortable pushing back on unrealistic timelines or under-scoped requirements, but you do it in a way that builds trust rather than defensiveness
- See process improvement as a means to an end, not a goal in itself, and you know the difference between a process that helps and one that just adds overhead
- Detail-oriented enough to catch a missed dependency in a project plan, but strategic enough to keep the team focused on what actually moves the needle
- Adapt quickly when priorities shift, resources change, or a technical assumption turns out to be wrong, and you help your team do the same without losing momentum
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings
- Recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process
- Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
