About the Role

Altera is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to coordinate and drive the engineering execution behind next-generation FPGA device rollouts. In this highly cross-functional role, you will orchestrate complex development efforts spanning silicon, IP, software, firmware, validation, and manufacturing readiness, ensuring alignment across geographically distributed teams in North America and Asia.

You will implement best-in-class program management practices, drive schedule and risk transparency, and ensure successful delivery of industry-leading FPGA products.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage large, complex technical programs supporting FPGA device development from definition through production rollout.
  • Coordinate execution across multiple engineering disciplines including silicon design, IP, software, firmware, validation, and system enablement.
  • Develop and maintain detailed program plans, schedules, milestones, and dependency tracking for multi-threaded development efforts.
  • Drive alignment across global teams in North America and Asia, ensuring clear ownership, accountability, and communication.
  • Identify program risks, critical path issues, and resource constraints; proactively develop and execute mitigation plans.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product management, quality, and operations teams to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
  • Implement and continuously improve best-in-class project and program management processes, tools, and reporting mechanisms.
  • Facilitate executive-level communication by providing clear status updates, issue escalation, and data-driven decision support.
  • Support silicon bring-up, validation, sampling, and production readiness milestones by ensuring cross-functional execution alignment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
