Technical Program Manager, Architecture

About the role

The Technical Program Manager will drive the end-to-end execution of next-generation SoCs, from early architecture through RTL, verification, DFT, physical design, tape-out, and post-silicon validation. This role requires strong technical depth in silicon development alongside program management expertise to ensure successful delivery of complex, cross-functional projects.

Responsibilities

• Drive the end-to-end execution of next-generation SoCs, from early architecture through RTL, verification, DFT, physical design, tape-out, and post-silicon validation.
• Ensure successful delivery of complex, cross-functional projects.
• Manage execution across multiple global teams in a fast-moving environment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of semiconductor experience (CPU, Physical Design, RTL, Design Verification, or Program Management).
• Strong understanding of chip architecture, design flows, and system-level tradeoffs.
• Familiarity with industry standards across compute and SoC (e.g., ARM, RISC-V, AI accelerators, interconnect protocols).
• Experience leading large, cross-functional engineering teams and managing dependencies.
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence) and structured reporting.

Qualifications

• Comfortable operating at the intersection of technology, execution, and business.
• Skilled at breaking down complexity into clear goals and deliverables.
• A strong communicator who ensures alignment across technical and non-technical teams.
• Proactive, adaptable, and capable of thriving in ambiguity.
• Driven by impact and motivated to shape the future of silicon and AI platforms.
