Duration- 12 months contract
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive program execution and manage stakeholders and dependencies of our uLED backplane silicon programs, from early development through high-volume manufacturing. As a Display Silicon TPM, you will work across two primary sets of relationships: between display silicon team and its cross-functional partners inside (uLED, test, packaging, sourcing); and between and our external foundry and silicon vendor partners. You will translate high-level vendor milestones into task-level schedules, track cross-functional dependencies, manage 2-way and 3-way communication between and vendors, and ensure decisions reach every team that depends on them.
The role involves close collaboration with display silicon architects, test and product engineering, sourcing, and external vendor program management to drive complex multi-stakeholder programs to closure. The ideal TPM brings strong cross-functional execution and follow-through, the communication skill to keep stakeholders engaged and informed at the right level of detail, and the discipline to translate ambiguity into clear, well-tracked action. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with world-class silicon, packaging, and sourcing teams across client’s Labs to deliver the silicon that ships AR and smart glasses.
Responsibilities
- Internal Cross-Functional Coordination: Run recurring meetings and program reviews that bring uLED, test, packaging, and sourcing teams into alignment. Track decisions, surface dependencies and risks, and resolve gaps before they require escalation.
- External Vendor Interface Management: Run recurring meetings and program reviews with external foundry and silicon vendor partners, including joint working sessions, milestone reviews, and face-to-face meetings. Drive vendors to execute against specified requirements, maintain integrated program schedules that bridge milestones with vendor-committed dates, and surface misalignment early.
- Program Tracking and Reporting: Maintain authoritative trackers for program status across internal and external workstreams. Produce milestone readouts and decision items for silicon leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Risk Management: Maintain a living risk register covering technical execution, vendor delivery risk, IP and confidentiality concerns, and schedule risk. Drive mitigation plans with named owners and resolution dates. Produce risk summaries for leadership readouts.
Minimum Qualifications
- 1-3 years of experience as a technical program manager, or equivalent project management experience in a hardware or silicon development environment.
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate execution across multiple engineering teams (e.g., silicon, hardware, test, packaging) and translate high-level commitments into actionable schedules with owners and dates.
- Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, or foundries.
- Exposure to hardware development phases (e.g., prototype, qualification, mass production).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting program status and risk to engineering and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the discipline to drive decisions from incomplete information and follow through on action items across many stakeholders.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with shifting requirements and tight launch timelines.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience supporting semiconductor programs across foundry, OSAT, or silicon vendor interfaces.
- Familiarity with display silicon, uLED, or related electro-optical technologies.
- Experience managing programs with multiple external vendors.
- Experience working across timezones with international foundry, OSAT, or vendor partners.
- Working knowledge of program tracking and milestone reporting tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira) for cross-functional hardware programs.
- Experience translating engineering status and risk into briefings for sourcing and engineering leadership.
- Experience supporting consumer device programs from prototype validation through mass production.
