Senior Technical Program Manager – VLSI

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior TPM, you will bridge the gap between architectural concepts and physical silicon. Your mission is to accelerate tape-out cycles by optimizing engineering workflow schedules and to track Closed-Loop Validation.

Drive the "Arch-to-Silicon" lifecycle, developing high-fidelity schedules and handling complex dependencies across design, verification, physical implementation and tape-out validation.

Act as the primary strategic liaison between CSG and cross-functional partners, including VLSI, Architecture, ASIC, Operations and Systems.

Participate in key design reviews and handle the change control process to ensure scope changes are balanced against schedule impacts.

Lead Closed-Loop Validation schedules by systematically comparing silicon results against simulation assumptions to refine future model accuracy.

Orchestrate post-silicon test plans, ensuring comprehensive coverage of architectural requirements, PVT corners, and critical corner cases.

Build expert-level Smartsheet dashboards to provide real-time insight into program health, test plan progress, and prioritization for executive team.

Drive operational excellence by codifying procedures and employing Python to automate the ingestion of lab data into project management tools.

What We Need To See

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience (Masters preferred)
• 8+ years of TPM experience with a focus on Semiconductor Design and the full ASIC/SoC lifecycle
• Strong technical fluency in VLSI, specifically regarding design cycle, silicon validation and correlation
• Ability to align different teams on a unified execution path and influence technical trade-offs
• Demonstrate critical thinking with the ability to synthesize complex technical data into actionable project plans
• Outstanding negotiation and presentation skills; ability to influence senior engineering staff without direct authority
• Expert-level Smartsheet proficiency is required, including advanced automation and visual dashboarding

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd

• Direct background in circuit design or hardware validation
• Proficiency in Python to automate data-driven project management tasks
• Experience running projects in cutting-edge process nodes
