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. You Are You have spent years leading complex defense programs where the stakes are real, the timelines are tight, and the customer is the U.S. government. You know that the difference between a program that delivers and one that stalls is usually in the details someone caught three weeks before a milestone review, and you are the kind of leader who catches those details without slowing the team down. You have moved programs from prototype to production before. You understand what it means to step into an ongoing effort, assess what is working, fix what is not, and build the discipline needed to scale. Building an integrated master schedule, staffing a team, and translating technical complexity into executive-ready briefings are things you have done many times, not things you are learning how to do. You are comfortable sitting in a room with engineers talking about DevSecOps pipelines and then walking into a government stakeholder meeting and translating that same work into mission impact. You do not wait for perfect information. You work with what you have, ask the right questions, and move the program forward. You have a point of view on what good delivery looks like, and you push back when a plan is too vague or a risk is being ignored. At AGI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys, you will lead a high-visibility missile defense program that matters to national security. The team is distributed, the technical scope is real, and what you deliver will make a difference.
