Sr. Staff Project Engineering Manager

You will work as a technical program manager at Synopsys, responsible for driving execution for UCIe development programs from planning through tape-out. This involves managing timelines, dependencies, and delivery milestones across design, verification, and integration teams. You will build and maintain project plans that reflect real engineering work, tracking progress against milestones and surfacing risks before they become blockers. You will partner with cross-functional teams to resolve dependencies, clear execution roadblocks, and keep work moving toward shared deliverables. You will identify schedule, resource, and technical risks early, and drive mitigation plans with stakeholders who can actually address them. You will coordinate program reviews and cross-functional meetings that support decision-making and keep alignment tight across distributed teams. You will communicate project status, changes, and emerging risks clearly to internal stakeholders, adjusting detail based on audience. You will support customer-facing program coordination in partnership with senior leaders, managing timelines, deliverables, and follow-up actions.

As a Sr. Staff Project Engineering Manager, you will help deliver UCIe projects on time and within scope, supporting Synopsys' leadership in next-generation chiplet interconnect IP. You will improve program visibility by maintaining accurate plans and surfacing risks early enough to matter. You will strengthen cross-functional alignment so design, verification, IP integration, and silicon teams work toward the same milestones. You will enable better decisions by giving stakeholders clear insight into project status, dependencies, and where execution risk is building. You will support strong customer experiences through reliable communication and disciplined follow-through. You will contribute to more consistent, scalable program management practices across the organization.
