About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and drive schedules, surface dependencies before they block work, and own multi-functional alignment from architecture review through tape-out.
Accountable for delivery, not only oversight.
Participate in critical design reviews, flag scope and integration risks early, and make trade-off calls others depend on — schedule vs. quality, coverage vs. velocity, design change vs. firmware workaround.
Act as the primary technical link across silicon, systems, software, operations, and marketing.
Identify technical and schedule risks early, build mitigations with engineering, and move work forward with clarity and context.
Capture lessons from completed programs and put in place changes that measurably improve speed, quality, and predictability — not just documentation of what happened.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience); a master’s is a plus.
10+ years in technical roles, with at least 5 years in technical program management owning SoC programs from architecture through tape-out.
Deep, hands-on understanding of SoC design cycles, verification, and productization — you know the stages, what each involves, and what fails and why.
Demonstrated ability to work across the silicon–system–software boundary: enough depth to spot integration risks and drive resolution without having to be the expert on every question.
Proven track record running fast development cycles under uncertainty — you generate transparency rather than wait for it.
The uses AI deliberately not as a credential, but as a force multiplier with demonstrated workflow impact.
Communication that is precise, direct, and right-sized for the audience.
