• Champion customer success by ensuring products address real-world challenges, resulting in strong partnerships and long-term loyalty.

What You’ll Need:

• Expert-level knowledge and genuine passion for Design-for-Test (DFT), Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), and the broader in-system/manufacturing test ecosystem.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in EDA, semiconductor design, or related fields, with a proven track record in product management or product marketing roles.
• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; advanced degrees (MBA or PhD) are a strong plus.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a matrixed, cross-functional environment, with exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills.
• Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to create compelling narratives for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Customer-centric mindset, adept at engaging diverse stakeholders and building lasting relationships both internally and externally.
