Who You Are

  • Experience in CPU, SoC, or silicon development - as an engineer, technical lead, or program manager.
  • Comfortable working with cross-functional engineering teams and translating technical detail into clear status, dependencies, and trade-offs.
  • Organized and proactive; you chase down open items rather than waiting for them to resolve.
  • A clear communicator who can hold your own in engineering discussions and write updates leadership can act on.

What We Need

  • Support the full CPU development cycle - spec, design, verification, DFT, tapeout, and post-silicon debug - owning defined workstreams end to end.
  • Build and maintain schedules, track dependencies and resourcing, and drive execution across engineering teams.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one silicon program through a major milestone (tapeout, bring-up, or IP release).
  • Identify and escalate risks, and help drive them to closure.
  • Exposure to Functional Safety (FuSa) standards, especially ISO 26262, and automotive hardware development requirements is a plus.

What You Will Learn

  • How cutting-edge RISC-V CPU IP is delivered at scale, both internally and for external customers.
  • How to work alongside senior engineers on real-time design challenges and schedule trade-offs.
  • How to run project reviews and report metrics, risks, and mitigation plans to senior leadership.

We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

We're looking for an Engineering Program Manager - or a technical engineer ready to move into program management - to help drive execution on our RISC-V CPU team. You'll work across architecture, design, verification, physical design, and DFT to keep a high-performance CPU program moving from spec through tapeout and post-silicon debug. Partnering with a senior program lead and engineering managers, you'll own schedules, track milestones, surface risks early, and keep cross-functional teams aligned.

This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
