• Strong cross‑functional coordination and issue resolution
• Automotive customer engagement and delivery discipline
• Structured program planning, tracking, and risk management
• Clear, concise customer and internal communication

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end execution of assigned customer‑specific silicon programs from early engagement through SOP, volume ramp, and sustaining.
• Serve as the single point of contact for program execution with the customer, providing clear communication on status, risks, and commitments.
• Drive cross‑functional coordination across IP, design, verification, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and commercial teams.
• Develop and maintain program plans, schedules, milestones, and risk registers for complex custom products.
• Proactively identify, manage, and escalate technical, schedule, cost, or supply risks.
