Senior Program Manager — Analog/ASIC/SoC Semiconductor Product Development

About Texas Instruments

At TI, we design and manufacture analog and embedded semiconductors that power the world's most critical systems — from automotive and industrial to communications and power management. Our Custom Development team builds highly differentiated semiconductor solutions for the world's most demanding customers — and we need exceptional Program Managers to lead these high-stakes programs to success.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional custom semiconductor development programs from concept to production . This is not a generic PM role — we are specifically looking for candidates with hands-on semiconductor background in Analog, ASIC, or SoC development , who deeply understand the design flow and can engage with technical teams as a credible peer while driving program execution with precision.

You will work closely with systems, design, DV, layout, operations, marketing & sales, post-silicon validation, test, quality, and very demanding customer teams to ensure successful execution of schedules, deliverables, and business goals.

⚠️ Important — Who Should Apply

This role is exclusively for candidates from a semiconductor background with direct experience in Analog IC, ASIC, or SoC product development . Candidates without semiconductor industry experience will not be considered.

What You'll Do

🎯 Program Ownership

• Lead end-to-end program planning, execution, and delivery for analog/mixed-signal/embedded semiconductor products
• Drive program scope, timelines, risk assessment, budgeting, and resource planning
• Ensure execution efficacy, timeline adherence, quality control, and stakeholder management for custom development programs serving demanding customers

🤝 Cross-Functional Leadership

• Coordinate with design, DV, layout, post-Si validation, test engineering, quality, packaging, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and operations teams across global sites
• Facilitate program reviews, technical checkpoints, and decision gates
• Serve as the connective tissue between highly specialized technical teams and business stakeholders

📅 Schedule & Risk Management

• Create and maintain detailed program schedules using industry-standard tools
• Identify risks early , develop mitigation plans, and ensure teams stay aligned to program objectives
• Proactively surface critical path issues before they become program-level threats

📣 Customer & Stakeholder Communication

• Act as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Present program status, key metrics, and critical issues to leadership and customers with clarity and confidence
• Manage expectations across highly demanding customer engagements with professionalism

✅ Quality & Compliance

• Ensure programs meet TI's quality, reliability, and regulatory standards along with customer-mandated quality checks
• Coordinate root cause analysis and corrective actions when deviations arise
• Drive a culture of quality accountability across all program teams

💼 Operational & Business Support

• Collaborate with product line management on go-to-market strategies
• Monitor cost, yield, and performance targets throughout the product lifecycle
• Align program outcomes with broader business objectives

What You Bring

✅ Experience: 5–10+ years of program/project management experience specifically in semiconductors — Analog IC, ASIC, or SoC product development

✅ Semiconductor DNA: Direct hands-on background in semiconductor development — you understand the flow from architecture → design → DV → layout → post-silicon validation → test → quality → production release

✅ Technical Credibility: Ability to engage with design, DV, and test engineers as a knowledgeable peer — not just a schedule tracker

✅ Program Management Tools: Proficiency with Jira, MS Project, Confluence , or equivalent program management platforms

✅ Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to coordinate large, globally distributed teams across multiple engineering and business disciplines

✅ Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — equally effective in a customer boardroom and an engineering war room

✅ Risk Management: Demonstrated track record of identifying risks early and driving mitigation to protect program outcomes

✅ Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, VLSI Design, or related technical field

Bonus Points If You Have

⭐ Prior experience as a design or validation engineer before transitioning into program management — giving you firsthand technical credibility

⭐ Experience managing custom ASIC or SoC programs for external customers in automotive, industrial, or communications verticals

⭐ Exposure to analog/mixed-signal product development — LDOs, DC-DC converters, gate drivers, amplifiers, or data converters

⭐ Familiarity with AEC-Q100 automotive qualification or other high-reliability program requirements

⭐ Experience managing programs across global sites — India, US, and Asia-Pacific

⭐ Background in post-silicon validation or test engineering within a semiconductor context
