• Team Guidance: Guide development teams in executing specifications and adopting a security-focused mindset.
• Consulting: Provide consulting to R&D and management on new opportunities and risk analysis for our security IP products, contributing to product roadmaps.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Feature Development: Lead including hands-on development of new and enhanced features for our security IP portfolio to meet customer and standard specifications.
• Product Planning: Influence product planning through technical analysis of customer use cases including partitioning into HW and SW requirements.
• Market Leadership: Help establish and elevate Synopsys' position as a leader in security IP products.
• Accelerating time-to-market: for new products through efficient system design and integration.
• Contributing to Synopsys’ reputation: as an industry leader in innovation and technical excellence.

What You’Ll Need:

• PhD or advanced MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with extensive relevant experience. 
• Extensive knowledge and experience in digital security (hardware and software).
• Expert understanding of modern practical cryptography and relevant cryptographic standards.
• Previous experience in security engineering and design of security modules in hardware and software, including requirements management and security architecture.
• Experience with System level use case modelling and partitioning into hardware and software.

Who You Are:

• Strategic thinker with exceptional problem-solving skills.
• Effective communicator, able to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative leader with a commitment to mentoring and knowledge sharing.
• Adaptable and resilient in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Innovative mindset, always seeking new solutions and improvements.

The Team You’Ll Be A Part Of:

You will be part of the Security Architecture team within the Security IP group, which offers market-leading products and solutions for embedded security applications.
