  • Cross-Functional Leadership Partner with AMS design, digital, systems, product, and operations teams to align priorities and resolve blockers Lead program reviews, drive decision-making, and communicate status, risks, and trade-offs to leadership and stakeholders Coordinate with external partners, foundries, and vendors on tape-out readiness and schedule commitments
  • Risk Management & Process Excellence Proactively identify, quantify, and mitigate technical and schedule risks across concurrent programs Drive continuous improvement of program management processes, tools, and best practices for AMS execution Champion clear documentation, accountability, and operational discipline across the program lifecycle

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 8+ years of experience in program or project management within semiconductor, IC, or hardware development
  • Proven track record managing complex silicon or AMS/IP programs through tape-out and silicon validation
  • Strong understanding of the ASIC/IC development lifecycle, including design, verification, layout, and bring-up
  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Direct experience with analog/mixed-signal or high-speed connectivity programs
  • PMP certification or equivalent program management credential
  • Familiarity with foundry engagement, tape-out flows, and vendor/IP coordination
  • Ability to thrive and lead through ambiguity in a fast-paced, hyper-growth environment

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.
