You are skilled at identifying and managing risks, balancing priorities, and ensuring that project deliverables align with organizational goals. You take pride in fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement within your teams. Your communication style is clear and adaptive, enabling you to bridge technical and non‑technical audiences alike. You are committed to mentoring others, championing best practices in project management, and driving consistency across teams. Above all, you’re motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible impact—delivering programs that push the boundaries of technology and set new industry standards.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Managing the entire program engineering lifecycle—including initiation, definition, planning, execution, and closure—across multiple interconnected projects.
• Monitoring and controlling program budgets, schedules, risks, issues, and scopes to ensure successful delivery of key milestones and customer commitments.
• Implementing and refining program and project management standards, tools, and methodologies to drive operational excellence.
• Identifying organizational needs, managing stakeholder expectations, and building strong, trust‑based relationships with internal and external partners.
• Leading regular status meetings with cross‑functional teams, project managers, sponsors, and stakeholders to provide clear updates and align on priorities.
• Coaching and mentoring other Project Engineering Managers, fostering a culture of collaboration, learning, and high performance.
• Coordinating cross‑project activities within the SerDes project management department for maximum synergy and impact.
• Providing internal and external reporting to senior leadership and external entities, supporting strategic decision‑making and performance visibility.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enable the successful delivery of high‑impact programs that drive Synopsys’ leadership in semiconductor technology and IP solutions.
• Enhance stakeholder satisfaction through proactive management of expectations, risks, and communication.
• Elevate project management maturity by championing standards, tools, and best practices across the organization.
• Improve cross‑functional collaboration, ensuring that technical and business objectives are met efficiently and effectively.
• Support organizational agility by identifying and resolving roadblocks, enabling teams to adapt to evolving requirements.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in project/program management within engineering, ideally in semiconductor, IP, or ASIC design environments.
• Formal project management certification or demonstrable experience (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, or similar).
• Strong understanding of IP and SoC development processes, including technical and lifecycle aspects.
• Hands‑on experience with UNIX operating systems, MS Project, and MS Excel for planning and tracking.
• Familiarity with Business Intelligence and Data Visualization tools (e.g., Power BI) for reporting and analysis.
• Proven ability to implement and improve project management methodologies and tools in a matrix organization.

Who You Are:

• Influential leader with strong collaboration skills, able to work effectively across multiple teams and organizational boundaries.
• Excellent written and verbal communicator, adept at conveying complex information to diverse audiences.
• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in dynamic environments.
