## Description

You will be working as an Applications Engineering, Program Manager_ICV at Synopsys, driving planning and delivery risk monitoring for worldwide ICV runset development, coordinating across global teams and foundry partners.

You have spent years managing technical programs where the schedule is real, the stakes are high, and the team is scattered across time zones. You know that delivering on time in a global environment is not about perfect plans, it is about seeing around corners, pulling the right levers, and knowing when to escalate versus when to solve.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Drive planning and delivery risk monitoring for worldwide ICV runset development, coordinating across global teams and foundry partners

- Ensure committed runset deliverables are completed on time, holding teams accountable to schedules that directly impact customer tapeouts

- Proactively identify delivery risks, propose solutions using available resources, and negotiate trade-offs between scope, schedule, and priorities

- Communicate schedule status, risks, and mitigation plans to stakeholders including engineering leadership, foundry partners, and product management

- Develop and maintain systems for accurate forecasting and progress tracking, ensuring visibility into what is on track and what is slipping

- Continuously improve processes to increase productivity, quality, and on-time delivery across the runset development lifecycle

- Collaborate with runset team members to understand their workflows, dependencies, and constraints, and translate that into actionable program plans

The impact you will have includes:

- Enabling Synopsys to meet commitments to the world's leading foundries, directly supporting their process node rollouts and customer tapeout schedules

- Ensuring that one of the fastest-growing products in EDA has the foundry runsets it needs to scale

- Reducing delivery risk and surprises by building visibility and accountability into a complex, multi-site development process

You will need:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical field with 10+ years of relevant experience in program or project management

- Proven program management skills across multiple technical projects, ideally in semiconductor, EDA, or related fields

- Familiarity with SoC design and IC manufacturing processes, enough to understand dependencies and speak credibly with engineers and foundry partners

- Experience working directly with customers or external partners, managing expectations and navigating competing priorities

- Demonstrated ability to quantify and communicate metrics that drive production delivery, not just report status but drive action

- Excellent communication and leadership skills, including the ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across distributed teams

- Experience managing programs in a global environment is a plus
