About the job
As a Technical Program Manager for Chip DevOps, you will orchestrate the delivery of the foundational engineering environment and drive the execution of a unified silicon design methodology across our engineering organization. You will own the lifecycle of programs that scale our Electronic Design Automation (EDA) toolchains, optimize massive cloud compute grids, and establish standardized, automated workflows.
This is a highly cross-functional role requiring a unique blend of modern cloud infrastructure expertise, semiconductor workflow awareness, and agile program management. You will partner closely with Design, Verification, CAD, and Infrastructure teams to eliminate fragmented workflows, implement standardized methodologies, and ensure a seamless, high-performance environment to build next-generation chips.

Responsibilities
- Manage programs the definition, standardization, and company-wide adoption of a unified design and verification methodology. Drive alignment on consistent coding standards, automated checks, PDK management, and IP reuse protocols.
- Define, manage, and deliver complex infrastructure and CAD roadmaps, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to design timelines.
- Manage programs the deployment, licensing, and scaling of EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) across hybrid or fully cloud-based environments, ensuring tool flows strictly adhere to the unified methodology.
- Lead initiatives to optimize compute infrastructure (high-performance computing clusters, storage, and cloud instances) to handle massive simulation, synthesis, and physical design workloads.
- Drive the strategy and implementation of automated workflows, continuous integration, and continuous verification (CI/CD) pipelines.
