We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You Are

• Accomplished Director of Product Management, who leads strategy and market development for Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) Multi-die IP, with a focus on 2.5D and 3D-IC technologies. You will define product direction, shape market positioning, and drive business growth across advanced testability and system-level lifecycle management solutions for chiplet-based and system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
• The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in semiconductor product management, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to align customer needs, technology innovation, and business priorities. SLM represents a significant growth opportunity for the semiconductor industry, and Synopsys is well positioned to establish and extend market leadership in this space.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define and drive the product strategy and roadmap for Silicon Lifecycle Management IP focused on 2.5D/3D-IC, chiplet interconnect (UCIe, D2D), and memory interfaces (DDR, LPDDR, HBM, cHBM), covering both high-volume manufacturing test and in-system lifecycle management
• Write Market Requirements Documents (MRDs) that translate customer needs, competitive gaps, and technology trends into actionable product concepts for the NPI pipeline
• Review and validate Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) created by technical product managers to ensure market fit, commercial viability, and alignment with business priorities
• Engage directly with key customers across hyperscale, automotive, and mobile segments to gather feedback, understand design challenges, and shape product direction based on real-world use cases
• Build and execute go-to-market strategies including product positioning, pricing models (EDA and IP licensing), launch plans, and sales enablement materials in partnership with marketing and field teams
• Present at industry conferences and tradeshows to evangelize the SLM portfolio, establish thought leadership, and drive market awareness
• Track and analyze product performance metrics including revenue, design wins, customer adoption, and competitive displacement to inform roadmap prioritization and business planning

The Impact You Will Have

• Establish Synopsys as the market leader in SLM IP for multi-die architectures at a time when the industry is shifting from monolithic SoCs to chiplet-based designs
• Shape how semiconductor companies approach testability and lifecycle management for 2.5D and 3D-IC systems, influencing industry standards and best practices
• Drive revenue growth by identifying high-value customer opportunities and translating them into differentiated IP products that solve real manufacturing and system-level test challenges
• Enable customers to achieve higher yield, faster time-to-market, and lower total cost of ownership by delivering testability solutions that work across the full product lifecycle
• Influence the technical direction of engineering teams by providing market-driven input that ensures what gets built actually matters to customers
• Expand Synopsys' footprint in emerging markets like automotive functional safety (ISO 26262) and AI accelerators where multi-die architectures are becoming the norm
• Build long-term customer relationships that create stickiness and open doors for broader portfolio adoption across IP and EDA solutions

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field; MS or MBA is a plus
• 15+ years in product management, business development, or technical marketing roles within the semiconductor industry, with direct exposure to design for test (DFT), memory built-in self-test (MBIST), or SoC development
• Deep working knowledge of EDA flows and BIST methodologies including RTL generation, insertion, verification, and post-silicon debug and diagnostics
• Technical understanding of CPU architectures (ARM, ARC, RISC-V), memory controllers, and interface IP PHYs, particularly DDR/LPDDR/HBM/cHBM and UCIe
• Familiarity with IEEE standards such as 1149.1 (JTAG), 1500, 1687 (IJTAG), 1838, and emerging standards like P3405, plus exposure to ISO 26262 for automotive functional safety
• Proven ability to analyze complex technical and business tradeoffs, synthesize customer input and competitive intelligence, and make data-informed decisions that balance short-term revenue with long-term strategic positioning
• Experience managing product roadmaps in a global context, working across engineering, sales, marketing, and executive stakeholders to drive alignment and execution

Who You Are

• You can walk into a technical deep-dive with a customer's DFT team, understand their test flow challenges, and walk out with a clear product gap to address
• You are comfortable presenting to VPs and C-level executives, distilling a complex competitive landscape or technical tradeoff into a clear recommendation without losing the nuance that matters
• You manage multiple moving pieces at once, keeping engineering, sales, and marketing aligned on timelines, priorities, and messaging without dropping threads or creating confusion downstream
• You treat ambiguity as a normal part of the job, not a blocker, and you know how to gather enough signal to make a decision even when perfect information does not exist

The Team You'll Be Part Of

You will join the Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) product management team within the EDA organization, reporting to the Senior Director of Product Management.The SLM line of business focuses on monitoring , testability, debug, and lifecycle management solutions that span IP and EDA tools.This is a highly technical, cross-functional team that works closely with engineering, sales, and field application engineers across Synopsys' global footprint.

The team is responsible for defining the strategy and roadmap for products that touch every stage of the semiconductor lifecycle, from design and manufacturing test to in-system monitoring and diagnostics.You will collaborate with technical product managers, R&D leaders, and customer-facing teams to drive the business forward in a space that is still being defined as the industry transitions to multi-die and heterogeneous integration architectures.
