About the Role

Ericsson Silicon is scaling its custom ASIC capabilities across 5G Advanced and 6G. Central Engineering (CE) provides the foundational design methodology, tools, and infrastructure that all silicon programs depend on. We are looking for a Senior EDA Ecosystem Technical Program Manager to define and drive the tool ecosystem strategy across programs and engineering teams.

Responsibilities

Manage horizontal technical program execution for the EDA domain, orchestrating lifecycles, resource requirements, vendor partnerships, cross-functional dependencies, and environment readiness.
Define Ericsson Silicon's EDA ecosystem strategy, establish strategic vendor partnerships, and drive measurable improvements in tool capability and cost efficiency.
Orchestrate the EDA framework strategy, including tool selection, flow architecture requirements, vendor portfolio management, and technology node enablement.
Develop the multi-year EDA capability roadmap by aligning engineering requirements with the silicon product roadmap.
Drive vendor roadmap alignment, structure tool evaluations, and lead the negotiation and management of SOWs and technology access agreements.
Monitor emerging technologies (AI/ML-enabled EDA, cloud-native solutions) and drive collaborative build-vs-buy frameworks.
Own the EDA license portfolio strategy, including utilization optimization, demand forecasting, renewal planning, and cost reduction.
Drive Design Environment capacity planning (compute, storage, licenses) and develop spend forecasting models.
Build budget estimates and conduct total cost of ownership analyses for EDA ecosystem decisions.
Support technical and methodology change across engineering sections, facilitating cross-functional access to tools, infrastructure, and automation.
Partner with CAD Engineering Managers to ensure EDA ecosystem decisions align with domain-level enablement needs and delivery priorities.
Support cross-site coordination for EDA consistency and build collaboration across internal teams and external partners.

Requirements

Several years of experience in the semiconductor or EDA industry, including direct experience in EDA/CAD-related roles.
Comprehensive understanding of the RTL-to-GDSII design flow with ability to evaluate tool capabilities and identify flow bottlenecks.
Deep familiarity with commercial EDA tools from at least two major vendors.
Proven experience managing strategic EDA vendor relationships, including roadmap discussions, evaluations, SOWs, and executive-level engagement.
Demonstrated ability to drive technical decisions and influence senior engineering leadership without direct authority.
Track record of managing horizontal domain delivery across multiple programs, teams, and geographies.
Executive-level communication skills; concise, precise, and effective across engineering, vendor, and leadership audiences.
Prior hands-on engineering background (CAD/EDA, physical design, synthesis) with transition to strategic technical leadership.
Experience enabling EDA flows for advanced nodes (7nm and below).
Enterprise-scale EDA license portfolio management (multi-million-dollar spend, hundreds of users).
Experience building EDA ecosystems or vendor engagement models from early maturity.
Multi-site operations experience across US and Europe.
Financial acumen: contract negotiations, TCO analysis, build-vs-buy investment cases.
Knowledge of AI/ML-enabled EDA capabilities and cloud/hybrid compute strategies.
Established relationships within the EDA vendor ecosystem at technical and executive levels.
