EDA Tools License Management

Overview

Manages EDA license operations, governance, compliance, and optimization to ensure reliable access to critical design tools across hardware engineering teams.

What you'll do

• Define and execute license management processes for major EDA suppliers, including entitlement tracking, usage analysis, cost optimization, audit readiness, and contract compliance.
• Reconcile supplier entitlements against actual tool usage, prevent over-deployment or unauthorized access, and validate geographic and business-unit usage restrictions.
• Manage license transfers during reorganizations or divestitures and ensure usage-reporting accuracy.
• Prepare defensible documentation for supplier audits.
• Migrate the license environment to SLES15, including testing of end users' scripts and automation workflows to improve license visibility, reduce manual effort, and enable data-driven decision-making.
• Partner with design, contract manager, procurement, finance, legal, IT, and EDA vendors to support tool enablement, license planning, renewal strategy, and business continuity.
• Build understanding of EDA tool usage, licensing models, supplier agreements, and operational controls to ensure scalable, compliant, and cost-effective license management across technology programs.

What you'll need

• Experience managing EDA license operations, license servers, vendor daemons, or engineering tool infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of EDA licensing models, entitlement tracking, usage analysis, renewals, and supplier compliance.
• Experience supporting audits, entitlement reconciliation, usage validation, and compliance documentation.
• Ability to analyze license data, identify optimization opportunities, and communicate risks or recommendations to stakeholders.
• Experience partnering with design, procurement, contract management, finance, legal, IT, and suppliers.

Nice to have

• Experience with major EDA suppliers such as Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA, Ansys, Keysight, or Arm.
• Experience with FlexNet/FLEXlm, Linux/SLES license environments, vendor daemon upgrades, or license migrations.
• Experience building dashboards, databases, scripts, or automation for license visibility, usage monitoring, compliance, or renewals.
• Knowledge of complex licensing models, including token-based, named-user, geographic, business-unit, cloud, or royalty-based licensing.
• Ability to translate license data into executive summaries, risk assessments, and supplier negotiation inputs.
