Job description

Sine Engineering is the leading global company developing advanced radio communication and navigation systems. We are building mission‑critical infrastructure for the multi‑million drone era.

We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive the execution of next‑generation System‑on‑Chip (SoC) programs, with a strong focus on vendor management and hands‑on technical guidance. You'll work alongside an exceptional team of engineers, keeping complex, multi‑party silicon projects on track from concept to tape‑out and validation. Multiple positions are open and filled on a rolling basis.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end project management of SoC development programs — planning, scheduling, risk management, and execution across internal teams and external partners.
• Drive vendor selection and onboarding, including RFQ/RFP processes, technical evaluation support, and contract follow‑through. Tracking deliverables, reviewing progress, managing milestones, and ensuring technical and contractual alignment.
• Translate and coordinate between technical teams and business stakeholders — surfacing trade‑offs, risks, and decisions in terms each audience can act on.
• Own program‑level reporting: status, risks, dependencies, and escalations, up to leadership and across partners.
• Provide technical guidance across the program, with emphasis on wireless radio technologies (PHY/MAC, RF transceivers, SDR, proprietary and standard waveforms) and application‑side topics (video, compute, interfaces).
• Support the full development lifecycle — from concept and specification through implementation, tape‑out and bring‑up all the way to the mass production start.

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in technical project or program management, with at least part of that in semiconductor, SoC, or wireless systems development.
• Experience on managing external vendors and subcontractors.
• Working technical understanding of wireless radio systems.
• Familiarity with the SoC development lifecycle (specification, RTL, verification, tape‑out, bring‑up, characterization) and the typical risks at each stage.
• Strong organizational skills and fluency with modern project management tooling (Jira, Confluence, MS Project, or equivalent).
• Excellent communication skills — able to run technical reviews, facilitate decisions, and escalate cleanly.
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher.

Nice to have

• Hands‑on engineering background earlier in career (RF, digital design, firmware, or systems).
• Experience managing programs involving IP licensing or foundry/ASIC partners.
• Knowledge of defense or dual‑use program environments and their compliance requirements.
• Experience with field testing of RF or wireless communication systems.
• PMP, Prince2, AgilePM or equivalent certification.
