I korthet

As a Sr. Staff Foundry Program Manager in Hsinchu, Taiwan, you will be the main interface between Synopsys and foundry partners, managing IP enablement programs across multiple process nodes. This role requires a decade or more of semiconductor industry experience, deep knowledge of IC manufacturing, and fluency in both English and Mandarin to drive technical issue resolution and program success.

Ansvarsområden

  • Serve as the primary interface between Synopsys and foundry partners in Taiwan, coordinating IP enablement programs across multiple process nodes and technology platforms.
  • Manage cross-functional communication between Sales, Marketing, FAE, CAE, R&D, and foundry engineering teams to align on schedules, deliverables, and technical requirements.
  • Track and drive resolution of technical issues related to PDK updates, design kit releases, IP characterization, and test chip bring-up.
  • Identify program risks early, escalate appropriately, and coordinate mitigation plans across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Coordinate test chip design, tapeout schedules, and silicon characterization activities with foundry partners to validate IP performance on new process technologies.
  • Maintain program dashboards, status reports, and executive briefings that translate complex technical progress into clear business outcomes.
  • Bridge foundry adoption timelines with internal IP development roadmaps, ensuring Synopsys IP is ready when customers need it for their SoC designs.

Krav

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field with 10 to 15+ years of relevant semiconductor industry experience.
  • Deep working knowledge of IC manufacturing, process technology nodes, design enablement flows, and sign-off processes.
  • Fluency in both English and Mandarin, with the ability to navigate technical discussions and business negotiations in both languages.
  • Direct experience coordinating with foundries, whether through PDK development, IP design, CAD tool enablement, or quality management programs.
  • Familiarity with analog and digital SoC design flows, including physical design, characterization, and silicon validation methodologies.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools for program tracking and reporting; working knowledge of Copilot is a plus.
  • Experience communicating technical program status to stakeholders at multiple levels, from engineering teams to executive leadership.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • You can walk into a technical review with foundry engineers, absorb the details of a new design rule change, and walk out with a clear plan for how it affects your IP roadmap.
  • You do not need perfect information to move forward, you work with what you have, ask the right questions, and fill in the gaps as you go.
  • You are organized enough to manage five concurrent process node programs without losing track of critical milestones, and you know when to escalate before a slip becomes a crisis.
  • You can explain a complex PDK compatibility issue to a sales leader in two sentences without losing the technical nuance that matters.
  • You build relationships that last, foundry partners and internal teams trust you because you follow through and you do not overpromise.
  • You have a strong sense of priority and you push back when a request does not align with the program's real goals or timeline constraints.

Förmåner

  • Enable Synopsys IP to be available on leading-edge process nodes faster, giving customers earlier access to differentiated IP for their products.
  • Reduce time-to-market for customer SoCs by ensuring smooth IP integration and fewer late-stage surprises during tapeout.
  • Strengthen foundry partnerships by being the reliable, knowledgeable point of contact who makes collaboration easier and more predictable.
  • Improve internal R&D efficiency by surfacing foundry updates and design kit changes before they become blockers.
  • Drive higher IP quality and performance by coordinating thorough test chip validation and silicon characterization programs.
  • Increase customer confidence in Synopsys IP by ensuring robust enablement and proven silicon results on the processes they care about.
  • Shape how Synopsys engages with foundries on future technology nodes by bringing lessons learned and process improvements back into the organization.
