Build What the World Depends On
The Role
The role involves leading post-silicon program execution for complex SoC initiatives ensuring validation readiness and managing dependencies. Responsibilities include building execution plans driving convergence across functions and identifying execution gaps.
Summary Generated by Built In
The Director of Post-Silicon Program Management is a hands-on program management leader responsible for driving post-silicon execution and silicon readiness for high-complexity Arm-based SoC build initiatives.
The primary focus of this role is ensuring silicon functional validation completeness silicon bring-up readiness board-level validation readiness and convergence toward functionality efficiency energy consumption and quality objectives!
Unlike traditional Program Leadership roles this is a high-impact individual contributor position requiring high attention to detail deep understanding of program management tools and methods and technical expertise! The skill to shape harmonize and advance outcomes across a highly matrixed organization without formal control is key.
In programs where portions of post-silicon execution are performed by external vendors or partners this role provides program execution oversight coordination and integration management to ensure results dependencies quality and schedules remain aligned with overall program objectives.
