Vice President, Systems Package, Board Business Unit



The Client

As market demand drives electronics companies to pack more performance and
functionality into chips manufactured at ever-smaller geometries, designers
begin to hit a wall of complexity-especially as we enter the nanometer era.
Today's semiconductors and electronic systems are so complex that creating
them would be impossible without electronic design automation (EDA).

Our client is among the world's largest supplier of EDA technologies and
engineering services. They are striving to help customers break through
their challenges by providing a new generation of electronic design
solutions that speed advanced IC and system designs to volume.

and release new products in a relatively mature market.

The client believes that with IC packaging technology undergoing rapid
change with the move to nanometer-scale ICs and, as a result, the increasing
complexities and density of modern packages designers, the need exists for
more innovative ways to solve larger problems and reduce the cost to design
and cost to manufacture the package.  It is expected that this executive
will provide the necessary guidance and leadership that will take the
exisitng platform to the next generation while maintaining or exceeding its
