Job summary

Anthropic in New York is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end execution of its silicon program, from architecture through tapeout and production ramp. You will coordinate a cross-disciplinary team of design, verification, PD, DFT, and packaging experts, while driving external partner engagements and making critical program decisions.

You will bring 8+ years of silicon lifecycle fluency, a track record of taped-out projects, and strong written communication.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in silicon/SoC program management, chip lead, or an equivalent role that owned a chip schedule end to end.
• Direct ownership of at least one program that taped out and reached production, with milestones you can speak to in detail — including where it slipped and what you did about it.
• Working technical fluency across the silicon lifecycle — front-end, DV, PD, DFT, foundry, packaging.
• Experience running external silicon partners — ASIC houses, IP vendors, foundry, or OSAT — including SOW scoping, delivery tracking, and escalation.
• Track record of building program mechanisms from scratch on an ambiguous, fast‑moving effort.
• Strong written communication — plans, reviews, and exec updates that many teams depend on.
• Comfort operating with high autonomy and limited process on a highly dynamic program.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated silicon program plan — architecture closure, RTL freeze, DV milestones, IP delivery, PD closure, DFT, tapeout, and post-silicon bring-up.
• Drive external partner execution across ASIC design partners, IP vendors, foundry, and packaging/test.
• Run technology and IP selection as a program: track candidate vendors and options, drive evaluations to a decision, and land the build / buy / license calls with engineering leadership.
• Build the execution mechanisms a silicon team needs — milestone definitions, risk and dependency tracking, design reviews, release management, exec reporting — and keep them lightweight enough that engineers actually use them.
• Manage the interface between silicon and its consumers: hardware systems for package/board/bring‑up, and inference/kernels/compiler teams for hardware‑software co‑design, so trade‑offs land as coordinated decisions rather than late surprises.
• Own the post‑silicon program — bring‑up planning, ATE/test handoff, sample distribution, validation, and the path to production readiness.
• Develop and share AI‑assisted approaches to program management — schedule and dependency modeling, spec and milestone consistency checking, partner‑deliverable tracking, status synthesis.
