About The Position

GlobalFoundries is seeking a Product Manager to lead the strategy, roadmap, and business ownership of tapeout engineering capabilities supporting product configuration, design-data validation, and manufacturing readiness. These capabilities connect customer design enablement, tapeout engineering, and semiconductor manufacturing to ensure products are accurately defined, validated, and prepared for production. The role partners with Product Lines, manufacturing fabs, and Customer Sales to modernize tapeout workflows and provide a seamless customer experience. The position owns product strategy, roadmaps, and release priorities for Global Product Configurator (GPC) and Global Product Validator (GPV) capabilities. GPC captures technology, process, and product options; GPV verifies customer design data against the expected manufacturing configuration before and during tapeout. The Product Manager ensures configuration and verification processes are integrated as a single source of truth from customer order definition through tapeout and manufacturing execution. The role translates business, technology, and manufacturing requirements into scalable product capabilities, automated rules, and user-centric workflows; supports new technology nodes, products, and manufacturing offerings; and improves platform usability, performance, automation, and scalability. It also owns product enhancements and transformation features, functionality testing, and collaboration on training needs. The position serves as the primary business owner and subject matter expert for product configuration and design-data verification solutions.
