Technical Product Management, Principal Engineer (m/f/d)

In this role you shape the roadmap for analog and mixed-signal design automation tools, partnering with designers and layout engineers to eradicate bottlenecks. You translate workflows into clear product requirements and drive AI-assisted automation within EDA. You prototype, test with real data, and iterate to deliver measurable improvements in productivity and time-to-tapeout. This position sits at the intersection of engineering, AI research, and customer impact, guiding production-grade tool development.
