As a SoC Program Manager, you will be responsible for driving the end-to-end execution of complex SoC development programs — from specification and architecture through design, implementation, manufacturing, validation, and production.

You will lead a cross-functional, multi-site engineering team (logic design, verification, physical design, DFT, package, test, validation, qualification) and coordinate with customers, foundries, EDA vendors, and IP providers to ensure successful and timely silicon delivery under a turnkey engagement model.

 Program Planning & Governance

  • Define, own, and maintain the overall SoC program plan, including schedule, milestones, deliverables, resources, dependencies, and risk management.
  • Establish clear program governance, progress tracking, and review mechanisms with internal teams and customers.
  • Drive alignment between customer specifications and internal execution plans across all SoC development functions.

 Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Lead and synchronize multiple engineering domains (Architecture, RTL, Verification, DFT, PD, STA, PV, ATE, Validation, and Qualification) to ensure smooth program execution.
  • Coordinate with package, test, and qualification partners to align technical and logistical deliverables.
  •  Customer Interface & Communication

  •  Risk & Issue Management

  • Identify technical and schedule risks early; establish risk registers and mitigation plans.
  • Proactively track issues across design and manufacturing stages; drive closure through cross-team collaboration.
  •  Turnkey Delivery Coordination

  • Coordinate with foundry (e.g., TSMC, Samsung, GF) for tapeout readiness, MPW slots, and production logistics.
  • Collaborate with EDA providers and IP vendors to resolve licensing, delivery, or integration issues.
  • Manage handoffs between design, verification, implementation, and test teams ensuring clean execution across phase boundaries.
  •  Operational Excellence

  • Implement project tracking and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Smartsheet, MS Project, Confluence) to manage progress and dependencies systematically.
  • Drive continuous improvement in project execution flow, identifying efficiency gains in design methodology, handoff processes, and communication.
  •  Performance and Success Metrics

  • Define and track Key Success Factors (KSFs) such as on-time delivery, first-pass silicon success, quality metrics, and customer satisfaction.
  • Review post-silicon lessons learned and feed them back into the organizational playbook for future SoC programs.
  • Qualifications

     Experience :

  • 12+ years of total semiconductor experience, including at least 5+ years managing SoC development programs(spec-to-silicon).
  • Proven track record in turnkey or design services SoC programs, ideally involving foundry interface and silicon bring-up.
  •  Technical Knowledge :

  • Strong understanding of the SoC design flow : architecture, RTL design, verification, synthesis, DFT, STA, P&R, signoff, tapeout, ATE, validation, and qualification.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and test processes.
  • Experience coordinating with foundries, EDA vendors, and IP suppliers.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage external partnerships and deliver under aggressive customer schedules.
  • Why Join Us?

    At Semifive, you will be part of a fast-growing global semiconductor solutions company that is reshaping how custom SoCs are designed and brought to market.
