About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end planning and execution of complex engineering programs spanning silicon design, firmware, and software, tracking milestones, dependencies, and critical path from kickoff through tape-out and launch.
Drive cross-functional coordination across hardware, software, validation, and manufacturing teams, resolving blockers fast and keeping every workstream pointed at the same deadline.
Manage program risk by spotting issues early, building mitigation plans, and escalating the right decisions to the right people before they turn into fire drills.
Build and maintain program schedules and dashboards that give engineering leadership a clear, real-time view of status, dependencies, and resourcing.
Partner with external vendors, foundry partners, and contract manufacturers to keep fabrication, assembly, and test schedules on track.
Communicate program health, risks, and key decisions to engineering leadership through clear, concise updates that cut straight to what matters.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
3-6 years of experience as a technical program or project manager driving complex engineering programs, ideally spanning both hardware and software delivery.
Working knowledge of the semiconductor development lifecycle, from architecture and design through verification, tape-out, and bring-up, along with a feel for how software and firmware teams integrate around silicon.
Fluency with program management tools like Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, or Asana, and the ability to read a schedule, a risk register, and a technical spec with equal confidence.
A track record of keeping cross-functional teams aligned, unblocking engineers, and shipping on time without cutting corners on quality.
