EDA Ecosystem Technical Project Manager

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.

As EDA Ecosystem Technical Project Manager, you will define and drive the tool ecosystem strategy across programs and engineering teams. The EDA ecosystem strategy is being redefined, and you will architect and scale it. The role will influence multi-million-dollar investment decisions across a globally distributed organization.

Success means engineering teams have the right tools at the right time, vendor relationships operate at a strategic level, and EDA investment decisions are data-driven and aligned with silicon program needs.

Responsibilities

• Manage horizontal technical program execution for the EDA domain, including lifecycles, resource requirements, vendor partnerships, cross-functional dependencies, and environment readiness.
• Make domain-level recommendations and lead cross-functional alignment with CAD, CE, and Silicon leadership.
• Facilitate tool selection, track flow architecture requirements, manage the vendor portfolio, and coordinate technology node enablement with CAD leaders.
• Define Ericsson Silicon's EDA ecosystem strategy, establish strategic vendor partnerships, and drive measurable improvements in tool capability and cost efficiency across the organization.
• Maintain programmatic depth to challenge infrastructure assumptions and inform EDA roadmap decisions. The role does not involve writing RTL, closing timing, or evaluating individual CAD tools.
