Manager, Product Cybersecurity — Semiconductor IP at Synopsys in Bengaluru

Job description

At Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability. Job Description and Requirements We Are: At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation. You Are: You are a leader who builds trust with product teams, engineers, and the analysts you manage. You listen first, write in clear language, and take ownership of results. You work well with people in different disciplines and locations, and you help others do their best work without needing to be the loudest person in the room. You are practical when information is incomplete. You explain complex topics in simple terms, stay calm when the design changes, and challenge unclear choices in a respectful way. You care about teamwork, growing people, and leaving work that others can use. This is a full-time role. What You’ll Be Doing: Lead a team of cybersecurity analysts who support semiconductor IP products: set priorities, assign analysts to product teams, and balance workload across the portfolio. Set the direction for threat analysis of semiconductor IP and associated firmware, including assets, access points, threat scenarios, attack paths, and controls in the IP versus requirements for the integrator. Guide the team in running security analysis as part of the cybersecurity lifecycle, from planning through design, implementation, verification, and release. Review the team’s analysis, requirements, and integration guidance for quality, consistency, and clear assumptions before they reach product teams and customers. Advise product leaders and architects on cybersecurity requirements, architecture, and verification so security work is built into the existing development flow. Oversee customer-facing security integration guidance that describes the threat landscape, implemented controls, and how customers should integrate the IP. Guide the team’s support for in-field cybersecurity activities, including vulnerability assessment, incident analysis, and security advisories, working with cybersecurity architects and corporate vulnerability response. Coach and develop analysts: set clear goals, give regular feedback, and plan career growth. Facilitate working sessions with cybersecurity architects and design and verification leads; keep analysis consistent across similar IP classes. Plan the team’s work with product teams in agile sprints: align security work with the product backlog, adjust scope when the design changes, and keep evidence current at each milestone. Promote the use of Python and agentic workflows (AI agents, structured prompts, and human-in-the-loop review) so the team works faster while analysts keep ownership of their findings. Run team work in Jira, Confluence, Git, and GitLab: track work and capacity, keep documentation current, and report status to leadership. The Impact You Will Have: Give product teams threat analysis they can trust and act on without re-deriving the work. Build a team of analysts who grow in skill, own their conclusions, and deliver steady quality. Improve consistency of analysis, risk language, and guidance across similar IP classes. Leave cybersecurity requirements and verification objectives that design and verification teams can execute. Strengthen the cybersecurity lifecycle for IP products so security work stays current as the design changes. Help customers integrate Synopsys IP with guidance they can follow without a security specialist in the room. Help the orga
