Senior Director, R&D
About The Position
Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software, providing tools that help companies develop innovative electronic products more quickly and cost-effectively across chip, board, and system design. The Senior Director, R&D will lead a growing organization of approximately 25 engineers across R&D, DevOps, Product Engineering, and related technical functions. The role is responsible for integrating and growing an acquired technology organization within Siemens while overseeing people leadership, product strategy, customer commitments, operational integration, and open-source initiatives. This is not a hands-on technical position, but it requires enough technical depth to work effectively with engineering teams, customers, product leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders. Alongside leadership of the existing organization and product portfolio, the role will help shape the architecture and strategic direction of Siemens’ next-generation Autonomous SoC design creation environment and rapid prototyping. This involves working with engineering and product teams to define the technology vision, architectural direction, and capabilities needed for emerging customer requirements and the evolving semiconductor design landscape.
