• Develop and drive integrated execution plans, including schedules, critical deliverables, budgets, and resource allocation for complex Slingshot silicon programs.
• Track execution progress, risks, dependencies, and mitigation or recovery plans across design, verification, physical implementation, and manufacturing readiness.
• Serve as a primary interface between silicon engineering, system architecture, hardware, firmware, software, validation, operations, and the production supply chain to ensure program-wide dependencies and deliverables are aligned and available.
• Communicate program status, issues, risks, and escalation plans to senior leadership and key stakeholders, providing clear, data-driven assessments and recommendations.
• Manage internal and external development partners, including design services, IP vendors, foundries, and packaging partners, ensuring alignment with Slingshot product roadmaps and execution expectations.
• Drive alignment between business demand, design quality (verification and validation requirements), performance targets, and partner constraints typical of high-performance networking and HPC products.
• Lead execution through manufacturing milestones, including tape-out readiness, silicon bring-up, yield learning, and production ramp.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to less-experienced program managers and engineers, promoting best practices for execution of large-scale silicon programs.

Education and Experience Required

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• PMP / PMI certification preferred.
• Typically 6-10+ years of experience managing complex ASIC or VLSI development programs.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with ASIC or VLSI design and physical implementation processes.

Knowledge and Skills Required
