EDA Tools License Management

About This Role

• Manages EDA license operations, governance, compliance, and optimization to ensure reliable access to critical design tools across hardware engineering teams.
• Defines and executes license management processes for major EDA suppliers, including entitlement tracking, usage analysis, cost optimization, audit readiness, and contract compliance.
• Addresses complex compliance challenges such as reconciling supplier entitlements against actual tool usage, preventing over-deployment or unauthorized access, validating geographic and business-unit usage restrictions, managing license transfers during reorganizations or divestitures, ensuring usage-reporting accuracy, and preparing defensible documentation for supplier audits.
• Required to migrate the license environment to SLES15, ensuring testing of end users' scripts and automation workflows to improve license visibility, reduce manual effort, and enable data-driven decision-making.
• Partners with design, contract manager, procurement, finance, legal, IT, and EDA vendors to support tool enablement, license planning, renewal strategy, and business continuity.
• Builds deep understanding of EDA tool usage, licensing models, supplier agreements, and operational controls to ensure scalable, compliant, and cost-effective license management across technology programs.
