IT Senior Program Manager

Keysight DES was recently formed as a new software organization focused on design and engineering. The strategic intent is to build a portfolio of multi-physics virtual prototyping and software quality engineering solutions to enable design teams to address the growing product engineering complexity. Our solutions enable our customers to efficiently innovate, predict and assure performance, and accelerate time to market.

The portfolio is made up of our long time EDA Design and Verification solutions, Software Quality Engineering (Eggplant), Design Data and IP management (Cliosoft), CAE solutions focused on product performance and manufacturing validation (ESI). We have also signed agreements to acquire the Optical Solution Group (OSG) from Synopsys and RTL PowerArtist from Ansys. The latter two agreements depend on the completion of Synopsys's acquisition of Ansys. We will continue to pursue M&A in addition to organic investments to grow the portfolio to $1B in the coming years.

As part of the formation of DES, a new technology stack is developed to support the customer engagement life cycle and sales processes. This includes website, marketing automation tools, sales workflow, technical support portal, and customer success management platform. All are optimized for an annual recurring software business.

Many of the new processes and tools are developed as part of the integration of new acquisitions such as ESI. Some investments will be made outside of integration, directly by the business.
