Senior Staff Program Manager, IP Products - 16977

Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

You see the big picture and know exactly which levers to pull to make things run smoother across teams. You have spent years orchestrating complex engineering programs where the technical and the operational meet, and you are most energized when you are connecting dots between technical leads, business goals, and process improvements. You do not just keep projects on track-you redesign the track if it is slowing the team down. You are comfortable explaining the business case for a new AI workflow to a VP one moment, and then diving into the details with engineers to remove blockers the next. You know how to translate leadership vision into actionable roadmaps, and you build trust by always backing up your recommendations with data and clear reasoning. You thrive in environments where ambiguity is the norm, and you see every cross-functional challenge as a chance to drive meaningful change. At Synopsys, you will not just manage projects-you will shape how our Interface IP teams operate, communicate, and deliver at scale.
