Executive Eda Engineer information

What is an Executive EDA Engineer?

An Executive EDA Engineer is a senior-level professional specializing in Electronic Design Automation (EDA), which involves developing and managing software tools used to design and verify electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. This role typically combines technical expertise in EDA tools and methodologies with leadership responsibilities, such as overseeing engineering teams, setting project direction, and collaborating with other departments. Executive EDA Engineers often play a key role in defining technology strategies, ensuring the adoption of best practices, and driving innovation within an organization’s electronic design processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Executive EDA Engineer?

To thrive as an Executive EDA Engineer, you need deep expertise in electronic design automation (EDA), semiconductor design principles, and a relevant engineering degree, often with substantial industry experience. Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics, as well as familiarity with scripting languages and verification systems, is crucial. Strong leadership, project management, and communication skills help in driving cross-functional teams and aligning technical strategies with business goals. These skills ensure the successful delivery of complex design projects, innovation in methodologies, and effective coordination within high-stakes environments.

What are some common challenges faced by Executive EDA Engineers when leading cross-functional design projects?

Executive EDA Engineers often encounter challenges related to coordinating efforts between hardware design, software development, and verification teams. Ensuring seamless integration of Electronic Design Automation tools across different platforms requires strong communication, project management skills, and a deep understanding of each team's workflows. Additionally, they must stay updated on rapidly evolving EDA technologies and industry standards, while managing tight project timelines and resource constraints. Proactively addressing these challenges is key to delivering successful, innovative design solutions.

What is the difference between Executive Eda Engineer vs Eda Engineer?

AspectExecutive Eda EngineerEda Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, certifications in EDA toolsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, certifications in EDA tools
Work EnvironmentSenior-level projects, strategic planning, leadership rolesDesign, simulation, and verification tasks in EDA tools
Industry UsageUsed in semiconductor and electronics companies for high-level designUsed in similar industries for circuit design and verification

The main difference between an Executive Eda Engineer and an Eda Engineer lies in their level of responsibility. Executive Eda Engineers typically handle strategic planning, oversee projects, and lead teams, whereas Eda Engineers focus on hands-on design and verification tasks. Both roles require similar technical skills and certifications, but the Executive Eda Engineer operates at a higher managerial level within the industry.

Job description

Overview

Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~15,000 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.

Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

This role sits within Keysight Laboratories—a globally recognized technology organization that enables Keysight to be first to market with breakthrough, highly differentiated solutions. Our team of senior engineers has delivered generations of innovation across ASIC and product development, spanning the breadth of the technology landscape. You’ll join a high-performance, globally connected engineering organization designing and delivering next-generation Digital ASICs.
A sustained driver of Keysight’s success is the creation and deployment of breakthrough digital and mixed-signal ASICs that unlock step-function performance and customer value in new products. We are seeking a Digital Design ASIC R&D Manager to lead and grow this capability within our ASIC team.

The role is based in Colorado Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak, with a purpose-built development campus that brings engineering, advanced technology development, assembly, and machining together in one location. Outside the lab, the campus supports an active lifestyle with on-site fitness and recreation, and Colorado Springs offers exceptional quality of life—immediate access to world-class outdoor activities, year-round recreation, and more than 300 days of sunshine each year.


Responsibilities
  • Set and drive the technical strategy for digital IP, block-level design, verification, and full-chip integration—aligning architectural choices to product differentiation, schedule, and long-term reuse.
  • Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing organization of architects, RTL designers, and verification engineers; establish clear technical expectations and a culture of ownership and excellence.
  • Own program delivery from concept through tapeout and into productization—planning resources, managing schedules and milestones, and proactively driving risk retirement and trade-off decisions.
  • Influence outcomes across the broader silicon ecosystem by partnering tightly with physical design, DFT/test, IP, software/firmware, packaging, systems engineering, and foundry/OSAT partners.
  • Establish and enforce robust quality and signoff discipline, including design reviews, coding standards, verification closure, timing and power closure, area/constraints management, and manufacturability/yield considerations.
  • Build a world-class team: recruit and hire top talent, develop technical leaders, and manage performance and career growth to retain key capabilities.
  • Manage the operating model for the team, including budget ownership, EDA/tool strategy, license planning, and vendor/partner selection.
  • Drive continuous improvement in productivity and predictability through design flows, automation, CI/regression infrastructure, and disciplined IP reuse strategies.

Qualifications

Must-have Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of digital IC/ASIC development experience, with demonstrated progression in technical leadership (people management experience preferred).
  • Strong hands-on depth in RTL micro-architecture and implementation (SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL), synthesis, STA/timing closure, and power/performance optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in modern verification, including constrained-random methodology, formal techniques, and acceleration/emulation.
  • Working knowledge of the full silicon lifecycle and cross-functional handoffs, including physical design, DFT/scan, signoff flows, and foundry enablement.
  • Proven ability to deliver complex programs to tapeout—building credible plans, managing dependencies and risk, and driving alignment across multiple teams.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard EDA environments (e.g., Cadence and Siemens/Mentor) and productivity scripting/automation (Python, Tcl, and/or Ruby).
  • Executive-level communication skills and strong stakeholder management—able to translate technical trade-offs into clear decisions and commitments.
  • Sound judgment under schedule pressure, with a track record of prioritizing the right trade-offs while maintaining quality.
  • Demonstrated people leadership strengths, including mentoring and coaching engineers, developing technical leaders, and building a strong team culture of accountability, learning, and engineering excellence.
