This is not a remote work opportunity.
Ericsson Silicon is scaling its custom ASIC capabilities across 5G Advanced and 6G. Central Engineering (CE) provides the foundational design methodology, tools, and infrastructure that all silicon programs depend on. We are looking for a Senior EDA Ecosystem Technical Program Manager to define and drive the tool ecosystem strategy across programs and engineering teams.
You will manage horizontal technical program execution for the EDA domain, orchestrating lifecycles, resource requirements, vendor partnerships, cross-functional dependencies, and environment readiness. You will not write RTL, close timing, or evaluate individual CAD tools, but you will maintain the programmatic depth to challenge infrastructure assumptions and drive informed EDA roadmap decisions. You will make domain-level recommendations and lead cross-functional alignment in partnership with CAD, CE, and Silicon leadership.
The EDA ecosystem strategy is being redefined now — you will architect and scale it, rather than simply maintain an existing program. You will exercise significant influence over multi-million-dollar investment decisions across a globally distributed organization.
You will define Ericsson Silicon's EDA ecosystem strategy, establish strategic vendor partnerships, and drive measurable improvements in tool capability and cost efficiency across the organization. Success means engineering teams have the right tools at the right time, vendor relationships are operating at a strategic level, and EDA investment decisions are data-driven and aligned with silicon program needs.
