We deliver industry‑leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.

As part of Synopsys, AGI (Ansys Government Initiatives) brings decades of expertise in digital mission engineering. AGI’s flagship product, Systems Tool Kit (STK), is trusted by aerospace, defense, and government organizations worldwide to model, analyze, and visualize complex systems and missions. By combining AGI’s deep domain knowledge with Synopsys’ scale and innovation, we empower our customers to design and test missions in a digital environment—accelerating discovery and reducing risk from concept through operations.

You’ve led software developers through the ins and outs of complex product cycles, and you know that real leadership means growing people—not just managing projects. You’ve spent years in the software world, but your expertise goes deeper: you understand RF communications, radar, or sensor operations, and you can guide others through the technical and the tactical. You get satisfaction from helping teams build things that matter, and you’re comfortable balancing technical depth with big‑picture planning.

When roadblocks pop up—tight schedules, shifting scope, quality concerns—you’re the one who sees them coming and takes action early. You’re organized, communicative, and invested in your team’s careers as much as your product’s success.

This position is on‑site in Exton, PA and requires compliance with U.S. government security and/or access requirements. Consequently, only U.S. citizens are eligible for this position.
