Principal EPM - San Jose, California, United States

Originally posted 21 October 2026 by the employer.

Lead end-to-end program execution for Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) IP from specification through tape-out and silicon validation.

About the role

The Principal EPM drives the execution of silicon programs within the Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) team, coordinating multi-disciplinary teams across circuit design, layout, verification, and silicon validation. The role owns program schedules and execution from initial concept through tape-out and silicon bring-up for connectivity solutions.

What you'll do

- Define, drive, and maintain end-to-end program schedules, critical paths, and dependencies for AMS IP development from specification through tape-out and validation. - Establish, track, and report program metrics, budgets, and deliverables to ensure predictable execution. - Partner across AMS design, digital, systems, product, and operations teams to align priorities, drive reviews, and resolve technical blockers. - Coordinate directly with external partners, foundries, and vendors on tape-out readiness and schedule commitments. - Identify, quantify, and mitigate technical and schedule risks across concurrent programs while driving continuous improvement of PM processes.

What you'll need

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. - 8+ years of experience in program or project management within semiconductor, IC, or hardware development. - Proven track record managing silicon or AMS/IP programs through tape-out and silicon validation. - Understanding of the ASIC/IC development lifecycle, including design, verification, layout, and bring-up. - Proficiency with program management and collaboration tools such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft 365.

Nice to have

- MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. - Direct experience with analog/mixed-signal or high-speed connectivity programs. - PMP certification or equivalent program management credential. - Familiarity with foundry engagement, tape-out flows, and vendor/IP coordination.
