ASIC Technical Project Manager
Hudson River Trading · Chicago, IL · Yesterday
On-siteFinance$150k–$250k/yrFull-time
Responsibilities
- Own integrated project plans across multiple overlapping ASIC projects, working with technical leads to define scope, milestones, dependencies, ownership, and delivery goals
- Coordinate handoffs and sign-off gates across architecture, RTL, DV, physical design, implementation, manufacturing, and post-silicon activities
- Track critical paths and execution cadence; surface schedule issues early and drive recovery plans with engineering leads
- Assess technical, execution, partner, and quality-of-results (QoR) risks, and drive mitigation plans to closure
- Run program reviews and working sessions that produce alignment and timely decisions among teams with competing priorities
- Keep engineering leadership and senior management current on progress, risks, tradeoffs, and the decisions required of them
- Own relationships with IP providers, implementation partners, and EDA vendors — setting deliverables, timelines, and escalation paths — and support multi-party contract negotiation and review alongside internal legal and business development
- Evolve our project-management processes, reporting, and operating rhythms as the program grows
Qualifications
- Experience in technical project management or engineering program management in a semiconductor, ASIC, or closely related hardware environment, backed by an electrical engineering background or hands-on involvement with ASIC projects
- Working knowledge of the ASIC development lifecycle and enough technical depth to be credible with engineers across the design stack — you can follow handoffs, pressure-test estimates, and recognize where a program is likely to get stuck
- A track record of delivering complex programs that span internal teams and external partners in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, including direct work with vendors on commercial terms
- Strong facilitation and follow-through — you build alignment without formal authority and close loops without being chased
- Proficiency with project-management and tracking tools such as Microsoft Project or Jira
- Familiarity with RTL-to-GDSII execution tasks, including synthesis, DFT insertion, implementation, timing closure, ECOs, and sign-off checks preferred
