Full Job Posting
Lead CAD programs end to end, including EDA tool and flow rollouts, version upgrades, methodology changes and license capacity planning for silicon projects, defining scope, milestones, dependencies and success criteria with CAD engineers and design teams. Lead SDCS programs for silicon design-compute infrastructure, such as high-performance compute cluster expansions, cloud migration and burst capacity, job scheduler and storage upgrades, and capacity planning against silicon project demand. Run program governance across CAD and SDCS: maintain roadmaps, plans and risk and issue logs, drive quarterly planning and objectives and key results (OKRs), and communicate status, risks and decisions clearly to leadership. Own end-to-end budget planning, forecasting and tracking for EDA/CAD software licenses, emulation hardware and software, compute infrastructure and vendor services across OPEX, CAPEX and COGS, partnering with Finance on quarterly and annual planning cycles. Partner with silicon engineering teams, EDA vendors, Procurement, Finance and managed service providers to align on demand, contracts, purchase orders and service levels, and run regular business and service reviews. Support delivery and financial health across the CAD and SDCS portfolio: identify risks, variances and optimization opportunities, drive trade-off decisions with leadership, and represent the programs in planning and executive reviews. Define and report metrics for program delivery, spend versus forecast, license and compute utilization, and vendor SLA performance, using data and dashboards to improve cost efficiency, reliability and on-time execution. Required Qualifications Instruction: Qualifications must be pulled from the Role Library and cannot deviate from what is listed. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the following specialized security screening: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations.

To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable. Experience with budgeting, financial forecasting and spend management for engineering or IT infrastructure (OPEX/CAPEX), including working with Finance and Procurement on purchase orders and contracts. Experience managing EDA/CAD tool and flow deployments, or high-performance compute, job scheduler, storage or cloud infrastructure programs, ideally in a semiconductor design environment. Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly with leaders and influence global, cross-functional teams and external vendors without direct authority. Experience managing vendors or managed services (statements of work, service reviews, SLA tracking) and proficiency with Excel or Power BI for financial and program reporting.
