Job Description and Requirements

Synopsys is seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to fill the role of Go-to-Market (GTM) Lead for Workforce Development initiatives. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing and executing the GTM strategy, establishing key partnerships, and driving sales enablement initiatives for our innovative Workforce Development solutions.Semiconductor and Chip Design Workforce Development is one of the big challenges for the semiconductor industry, as a looming talent shortage converges with increasing demands for more complex chips. According to a study by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and Oxford Economics, there's a risk that roughly 67,000 jobs for technicians, computer scientists, and engineers will go unfilled by 2030 in the U.S. alone. Meanwhile, the nation's CHIPS and Science Act invests $52 billion in the country's industry over five years, creating new opportunities while also galvanizing workforce development initiatives with universities and businesses.As chip manufacturing fabs are built in the U.S., skilled technicians will be needed to bring them online and to make them operational and profitable. And as AI and machine learning become more ubiquitous, engineering expertise will be needed to design the chips and write the code that makes these technologies useful.Indeed, it will take collaboration across multiple sectors-including government, academia, and the industry (as well as across the electronics value chain)-to bring new engineering talent on board. Mentoring, hands-on lab experience, internships, and college degree programs all play pivotal roles.From every smart home appliance to supercomputer, the semiconductor industry continues to demonstrate its criticality to an array of sectors. Every year, tiny yet complex electronic components are transforming how we work, live, and play. However, the continued innovation that is fueled by increasingly sophisticated chips requires a highly skilled workforce that is increasingly in short supply. The CHIPS Act in the U.S., along with similar measures in other countries, is sparking investments to nurture the next generation of engineers. Workforce development initiatives such as industry/academia collaborations, internships, mentoring, and hands-on educational experiences will go far in delivering a robust and diverse talent pipeline.Responsibilities:

• GTM Strategy Development: Develop and execute a comprehensive GTM strategy leveraging Synopsys' Workforce Development solutions and work with Synopsys' Government Affairs team and Synopsys' Academic & Research Alliances (SARA) team to identify funding sources and understand the competitive landscape, and key players.

• Metrics and Reporting: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the GTM strategy. Provide regular reports and insights to leadership on market trends, competitive analysis, and sales performance.
• Customer Engagement: Engage directly with customers to understand their needs, gather feedback, and address any challenges in the market. Act as a customer advocate within the organization, ensuring the alignment of products with customer requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (BSEE) or a related field with 20 years of semiconductor industry experience.
• Proven experience in developing and executing successful GTM strategies for complex solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage strategic partnerships in the technology industry.
• Strong understanding of chip design flows and methodology, semiconductor technologies, or related fields.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Proven leadership and team management skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and drive results.
