Job Description and Requirements

We Are:

At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

You are an experienced and highly motivated engineer with a passion for semiconductor innovation and digital design solutions. You thrive in environments that challenge you to bridge customer needs with cutting-edge technology, and you excel at translating complex technical concepts into actionable product strategies. With a deep understanding of EDA tools—especially in areas like synthesis, RTL architecture, place and route and ECO methodologies—you are eager to drive the development of next-generation solutions. You bring a strong analytical mindset, a collaborative spirit, and a customer-centric approach to every project. Your ability to engage directly with customers, understand their critical challenges, and translate those insights into high-value product features sets you apart. You are a thought leader, comfortable presenting at industry forums and representing Synopsys as a subject matter expert.

Your enthusiasm for technology is matched by your commitment to inclusivity, mentorship, and continuous learning. If you are ready to lead transformative projects and be at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, Synopsys is the place for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Engaging directly with customers to identify high-value problems, particularly around optimizing power, performance, and area (PPA), and achieving multi-physics closure in design.
• Analyzing and interpreting market trends to inform the Synopsys SCA roadmap, with a focus on advanced nodes and GenAI/Agentic flows.
• Collaborating with DRIs and field partners to pinpoint product gaps and evaluate new opportunities for tool enhancement and innovation.

• Defining and prioritizing product roadmaps by crafting Market Requirements Documents (MRDs) and partnering with Product Engineers to develop Product Requirements Documents (PRDs).
• Writing code prototypes for new features and products, serving as "executable specifications" to demonstrate functionality and requirements to development teams.
• Managing release readiness, including defining criteria for Alpha, Beta, Limited Customer Availability (LCA), and General Availability (GA) stages.
• Enabling partners and field teams with training, strategic campaigns, and benchmarks to ensure new products deliver on promised value.
• Representing Synopsys as a subject matter expert at customer forums, including TRMs and MRMs, and driving thought leadership at industry conferences.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Accelerate the adoption of Synopsys solutions, driving improved PPA outcomes for customers.
• Shape the direction of Synopsys’s product offerings by identifying and acting on emerging industry trends.
• Build stronger customer relationships through direct engagement, enabling tailored solutions that address their most critical challenges.
• Enhance Synopsys’s reputation as a technology leader by presenting at industry events and fostering thought leadership.
• Streamline product development processes through executable specifications, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams.
• Increase the commercial success of new products by ensuring release readiness and effective go-to-market strategies.
• Elevate partner and sales enablement, empowering teams to communicate product value and drive adoption.

What You’ll Need:

• Deep technical expertise in EDA tools, especially in synthesis, RTL architecture, place and route and ECO methodologies.
• Proven experience in product management, including roadmap prioritization, MRD/PRD development, and release readiness are a nice to have
• Strong coding skills for prototyping features and creating executable specifications.
• Ability to analyze market trends, customer feedback, and competitive landscapes to inform product strategy.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, sales, marketing, partners) in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity presenting at industry forums, conferences, and customer meetings as a subject matter expert.

Who You Are:

• Customer-centric, with a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
• Analytical and strategic thinker, able to synthesize information and drive actionable decisions.
• Collaborative leader, skilled at working across teams and building consensus.
• Effective communicator, comfortable presenting to diverse audiences and stakeholders.
