Technical Program Manager, Hardware

About The Role

Drive the cross-functional execution of our AI accelerator hardware program — owning the schedules, dependencies, and risk across silicon, board/system hardware, and the low-level software that brings it to life, from architecture through tapeout, bring-up, and scale-out. [+] You're technical enough to go a level deeper than a typical PM: comfortable in the systems-programming layer (firmware, drivers, bring-up software) where hardware and software meet, not just tracking it from the outside.

What You'Ll Do

Own end-to-end program management for major hardware workstreams — schedule, dependencies, critical path, and risk from architecture through tapeout and silicon bring-up Drive cross-functional execution across silicon (design, DV, physical design, packaging), board/system hardware, and software teams; align milestones and clear dependencies Bridge hardware and the systems-software stack, coordinate (and where useful, hands-on contribute to) firmware, device drivers, and bring-up software that exercises new silicon and boards Run the program operating cadence.

What We'Re Looking For

5+ years of technical program/project management in hardware, silicon, or deeply technical software, driving complex cross-functional programs to delivery Strong technical fluency — you can hold your own with chip-design and software engineers and understand the dependencies between RTL/PD/DV/packaging and compiler/runtime/bring-up Systems-programming background: hands-on C/C++ (and/or Rust), Linux internals, firmware, device drivers, or bring-up software — enough to read the code, dig into low-level issues, and earn engineers' trust Demonstrated ownership of schedule, critical path, and risk on a large multi-team program, ideally through a silicon tapeout or a comparable hardware milestone.
