What You'll Need

15+ years of product management or product marketing experience in EDA, semiconductor design, or process technology

Deep technical knowledge of TCAD workflows, including process simulation, device physics, calibration methodologies, or atomistic modeling

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Device Physics, Materials Science, or related field

Proven ability to write clear, actionable Marketing Requirements Documents that translate customer needs into engineering deliverables

Established relationships with product and engineering leaders at major semiconductor companies, foundries, or IDMs

Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives that involve R&D, sales, marketing, and field teams across multiple geographies

MBA or equivalent business experience is a strong plus
