Senior Product Development Engineering Manager

This is a Senior Manager and Program Manager role in the Client Product Engineering Team. Responsibilities include defining and managing key product deliverables/schedules and driving cross-functional activities. The applicant will be responsible for pre-silicon planning and, once silicon arrives, will drive product performance, test, customer samples execution, and high-volume manufacturing readiness. Managing horizontally across several functional organizations is a key job function. The role requires working hand-in-hand with our Asia Engineering and Operations counterparts, extensive interactions within the Product Engineering organization, and interacting with several other internal organizations (Design, Supply Chain, Quality, Business, and Customer Engineering). The applicant must be a team player with a commitment to meeting deadlines and an aptitude to thrive in a fast-paced multi-tasking environment.

The ideal candidate will be an experienced Product Development Engineer who encourages their team to find effective solutions to complex problems and drive continuous improvement. They should have a technical understanding of silicon performance and/or test, be a technical leader and innovator, and be able to work with geographically distributed product engineering teams.

• Develop and maintain effective working relationships with other departments.
• Collaborate on or assume responsibility for specific projects or definable portions of larger projects or processes.
• Plan and execute early silicon bring-up, characterization, product definition, test solution development (Sort/ATE/SLT hardware and test programs), and production ramp.
• Interface with Executive Leadership, the Business Unit, Validation teams, Supply Chain, external manufacturing vendors, and customers to deliver comprehensive microprocessor solutions.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with taking ASICs, GPUs, or CPUs to production.
