  • Establish strong governance, security, and responsible AI practices across all AI platforms and deployments.
  • Champion an AI-first mindset by embedding AI into how teams operate, make decisions, and deliver innovation.

Impact You'll Have
  • Establish the next generation of AI driven framework to improve efficiency and quality of IP development and deployment
  • Help position Synopsys IP as the clear industry leader in AI-enabled digital design platforms.
  • Deliver step-change improvements in engineering productivity, predictability, and scalability.
  • Enable new AI-driven products and platform capabilities that expand customer value and revenue opportunity.
  • Create a durable AI platform foundation that compounds in impact over multiple product generations.
  • Develop technical and leadership talent that strengthens Synopsys' long-term competitive advantage.
  • Build trusted, executive-level relationships with leading semiconductor and systems companies worldwide.

What You Bring
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
  • 18+ years of experience across digital design, SoC/IP development, and advanced AI systems, including multiple production-scale deployments.
  • 8+ years in executive or senior leadership roles with ownership of large teams and complex, cross-organizational initiatives.
  • Proven ability to scale AI platforms from early innovation to enterprise-grade solutions.
  • Deep expertise in modern AI architectures, including LLMs, agentic systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, and vector databases.
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to influence C-level leaders, customers, and senior technical audiences.
  • Experience driving transformation in highly technical, engineering-led organizations.

Leadership Characteristics
  • Enterprise-level strategist with a long-term, platform-oriented perspective
  • Technically credible executive who can engage deeply while leading at scale
  • Trusted partner to customers, product leaders, and executive stakeholders
