Technical Program Manager

Responsibilities and Qualifications

• Lead cross-functional semiconductor development programs from architecture and planning through silicon release.
• Schedule, coordinate, and track resources, milestones, dependencies, and risks to ensure timely execution of projects.
• Coordinate execution and design reviews across Analog Design, Digital Design, Verification, Layout, Physical Design, CAD, Validation, and Applications teams.
• Drive regular program reviews with engineering leadership and executive management, including clear status and decision tracking.
• Identify technical and schedule risks early and work with stakeholders to define practical mitigation plans.
• Partner with engineering managers to balance priorities, staffing requirements, and program deliverables.
• Develop and maintain productive working relationships with partners, engineering teams, and leadership stakeholders distributed across global sites and time zones.
• Interface with customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders for specific programs and project commitments as needed.
• Improve project execution processes, planning methods, communication practices, and program tracking metrics.
• Support adoption and disciplined use of project management tools such as Jira, Structure, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or similar systems.
• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of semiconductor industry experience.
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on IC design experience (Analog, Mixed-Signal, Digital, Verification, Physical Design, Layout, or Systems Engineering), including at least one complete ASIC, SoC, or IP development cycle through silicon tapeout in a technical engineering role.
• 3+ years of Technical Program Management, Engineering Program Management, or closely related project leadership experience for semiconductor development programs.
• Strong understanding of the full semiconductor development lifecycle — from specification and architecture through RTL, synthesis, design, verification, physical implementation, timing closure, layout integration, tapeout, silicon validation, and production release.
• Strong technical problem-solving skills, including risk assessment, root cause analysis, and decision support in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Excellent communication, organization, stakeholder management, influencing, and negotiation skills.
