In this role, you will lead our global Field Engineering organization end-to-end - managing the regional Application Engineering leaders globally - and own the technical customer journey across our accounts worldwide. You will act as a key strategic partner in driving business growth, shaping organizational culture, and managing our most strategic customer relationships. You will work in ongoing partnership with our CTO, R&D leadership, and Sales organization to drive successful adoption, integration, and expansion of our solutions throughout the silicon development lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
Lead, develop, and scale a high-performing worldwide Field Engineering organization, managing regional and functional Application Engineering leaders across multiple territories, supporting silicon design, verification, and implementation activities.
Own the end-to-end technical customer journey across accounts globally, from initial engagement and evaluation through IP integration, deployment, and ongoing adoption.
Oversee the integration of our IPs and related EDA tools into customer silicon design flows, including RTL, synthesis, place & route, and static timing analysis.
Develop trusted relationships with senior technical and executive stakeholders at strategic customers.
Partner with Sales and Business Development on strategic accounts, technical sales cycles, design wins, and business expansion opportunities.
