Key job responsibilities
Own the end-to-end silicon product schedule from tapeout and first silicon through bring-up, characterization, qualification, production release, ramp, and HVM.
Build and maintain integrated execution plans across silicon, package, test, quality, reliability, manufacturing, and supply-chain dependencies.
Define milestones, entry and exit criteria, owners, critical paths, and recovery plans.
Drive Product Engineering, Test Engineering, Design, DFT, Packaging, System Validation, Quality, Reliability, and Supply Chain teams to committed deliverables.
Dive deep on execution blockers; identify owner, root cause, decision required, and recovery path.
Drive closure of risks affecting schedule, quality, yield, test coverage, qualification, cost, capacity, or production readiness.
Own execution/communication of schedules and needs across foundry, OSAT and other external manufacturing partners.
Identify long-lead dependencies early, including wafer starts, masks, test hardware, package material, sockets, load boards, qualification hardware, equipment capacity, and translate product demand into manufacturing-capacity requirements and ensure capacity is available when the product needs it.
Drive readiness reviews for first silicon, characterization, qualification, production release, and volume ramp.
Establish mechanisms that expose schedule health, risks, decisions, and dependencies without relying on manual status collection.
Escalate early when teams cannot meet commitments. Bring options, trade-offs, and a recommended path.
Drive decisions when engineering quality, schedule, cost, capacity, and product requirements conflict.
Communicate program health to senior leadership with clear facts: what changed, why it matters, what decision is required, who owns the action, and when it will close.
Identify recurring execution failures and drive mechanism changes so the same problem does not reoccur on the next product.
Scale common planning, readiness, and execution mechanisms across multiple silicon programs.
