PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Strong understanding of the semiconductor environment, including IP development and/or SoC design and integration flows.
- Demonstrated success leading complex programs in highly matrixed, cross-functional, and cross-geography environments.
- Proven ability to manage senior stakeholders, align expectations, and drive outcomes through influence.
- Experience breaking down complex problems and driving practical, scalable solutions.
- Background in identifying process gaps and implementing operational improvements.
- Comfort using common program management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint).Interest in or hands-on experience applying AI tools to improve productivity and program outcomes.
