Job Description

The Senior QA/DV Program Manager a highly skilled and driven Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive the execution, delivery, and quality assurance of multiple ASIC SOC hardware and BMC software solutions portfolios. In this role, you will lead the program management for our End-to-End Quality Assurance (QA) team, and drive the program execution for our complex SOC Design Verification projects (DV).

You will have the opportunity to work closely with various engineering teams, from HW/SW design, verification, validation and system integration.

Program Management Execution

• Multi-Project Lifecycle Ownership: Track multiple parallel ASIC SOC projects from pre-silicon phases through to final deployment.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate schedules and dependencies between QA, Software, Architecture, Design, and DV teams.
• Risk Mitigation Resolution: Identify technical and schedule bottlenecks early to develop clear mitigation plans.
• Metrics Reporting: Report key execution metrics and milestone readiness regularly to engineering leadership.

QA Program Focus

• System-Level QA Strategy: Oversee the testing schedule for full server systems and BMC boards hosting the SOC.
• Bug Tracking Resolution: Drive the end-to-end triaging, tracking, and closure of system-level defects with engineering teams.
• Hardware/Software Co-Verification: Manage program dependencies for QA teams validating firmware, security layers, and Linux OS.
