• 5+ years of experience in project/program management within engineering, ideally in semiconductor, IP, or ASIC design environments.
• Formal project management certification or demonstrable experience (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, or similar).
• Strong understanding of IP and SoC development processes, including technical and lifecycle aspects.
• Hands‑on experience with UNIX operating systems, MS Project, and MS Excel for planning and tracking.
• Familiarity with Business Intelligence and Data Visualization tools (e.g., Power BI) for reporting and analysis.
• Proven ability to implement and improve project management methodologies and tools in a matrix organization.

Who You Are:
