You will be the central orchestrator ensuring delivery excellence, stakeholder alignment, and continuous innovation across the full EDA product lifecycle. ### Key Responsibilities Multi-team coordination: Drive alignment across cross-functional teams (engineering, QA, design, operations, business) to ensure seamless execution and on-time delivery of EDA software projects. ### Customer project ownership Manage end-to-end delivery of customer-facing EDA projects, acting as the primary point of contact and ensuring commitments are met with quality. ### High-stakes project leadership Lead critical, high-visibility programs with significant business or technical impact, managing risks proactively and escalating appropriately. ### Structured planning Define project scope, milestones, dependencies, and resource plans using rigorous methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or hybrid). ### Innovation facilitation Champion new approaches and continuously explore emerging tools — including AI-assisted project management (intelligent scheduling, risk prediction, automated reporting, and AI-driven decision support) — to improve team efficiency and project outcomes. ### Status reporting Provide clear, concise, and accurate communication to all stakeholders — from engineers to senior leadership. ### Team collaboration Foster a strong team spirit, removing blockers and ensuring every contributor feels supported and empowered. Required Profile Proven track record managing complex, multi-team programs in a technical or software development environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to adapt messaging for both technical and executive audiences. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and structured in approach. Collaborative mindset with genuine team spirit — you succeed when the team succeeds. Comfortable operating under pressure and navigating ambiguity on high-stakes deliverables. Experience with project management tools (Jira, Confluence, MS Project, or equivalent). Understanding of EDA tools and the semiconductor design flow is a strong plus — familiarity with the domain (simulation, synthesis, place & route, verification, etc.) enables faster ramp-up and more credible engagement with engineering teams. PMP certification (Project Management Professional) is a strong plus — it demonstrates mastery of globally recognized PM standards and a commitment to the discipline. What We Value You are not just a process enforcer — you are a builder of bridges between teams, a guardian of commitments to customers, and a driver of a culture where quality and innovation go hand in hand. You embrace AI as a force multiplier to manage smarter, not just harder — and you bring enough EDA domain awareness to speak the language of the engineers you serve. We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 25, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 23 days - Location: NOIDA[Apply on Cadence Design’s careers site →](https://cadence.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Careers/job/NOIDA/Principal-Program-Manager_R55683) ## More jobs at Cadence Design ### [HRIS Architect](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cadence-design/jobs/83d6f28fea7a2bd7da74/) NOIDA ### [Sr Facilities Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cadence-design/jobs/69fb24caa7487d2302f8/) NOIDA ### [Area Sales Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cadence-design/jobs/50a138baa6ad64c575dc/) NOIDA ### [Associate Compliance Analyst II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cadence-design/jobs/9b1f7a4d145eb1db42c4/) NOIDA ### [Design Engineer II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cadence-design/jobs/e943aa874f07b4128983/) NOIDA ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Principal Program Manager - Customer Experience Program Management](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/828c204c4dcd7368819c/) Microsoft · Romania, Bucharest ### [Principal Technical Program Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/3e5f84ff7736e7cdbfd8/) JPMorganChase · LONDON, United Kingdom ### [Principal Technical Program Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/c0ef8e38e904b9d3c52e/) Microsoft · India, Telangana, Hyderabad ### [Principal Engineer – Program Management, Supply Chain Transformation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sandisk/jobs/1a6fa539d947a085f779/) Sandisk ### [Principal, Enterprise Program Delivery Excellence- Program Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/waters/jobs/a00f9a1563cad4b42326/) Waters OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
