About The Position

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager V to drive program execution and manage stakeholders, schedules, risks, and dependencies for uLED backplane silicon programs, from early development through high-volume manufacturing. The TPM will work closely with internal cross-functional teams, including uLED, silicon, test, packaging, product engineering, and sourcing, as well as external foundry and silicon vendor partners. This role will translate high-level vendor milestones into detailed task-level schedules, track cross-functional dependencies, facilitate two-way and three-way communication, and ensure key decisions and actions are communicated to all impacted teams. The ideal candidate has strong experience managing complex hardware or silicon programs, excellent cross-functional communication skills, and the ability to bring structure and accountability to ambiguous, fast-paced environments.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or equivalent project/program management experience in a hardware or silicon development environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate execution across multiple engineering teams, such as silicon, hardware, test, packaging, and product engineering.
• Experience translating high-level commitments into actionable schedules with defined owners, milestones, and dates.
• Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, foundries, or silicon partners.
• Experience supporting hardware development phases such as prototype, qualification, and mass production.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting program status, risks, and decisions to engineering and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive decisions using incomplete or evolving information.
• Demonstrated ability to follow through on action items and drive accountability across multiple stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with shifting requirements and tight launch timelines.

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting semiconductor programs across foundry, OSAT, or silicon vendor interfaces.
• Familiarity with display silicon, uLED, or related electro-optical technologies.
• Experience managing programs involving multiple external vendors.
• Experience working across time zones with international foundry, OSAT, or vendor partners.
• Working knowledge of program tracking and milestone reporting tools such as Smartsheet or Jira.
• Experience translating engineering status and risk into concise briefings for sourcing and engineering leadership.
• Experience supporting consumer device programs from prototype validation through mass production.

Responsibilities

• Lead recurring meetings and program reviews across uLED, test, packaging, sourcing, and engineering teams.
• Track decisions, dependencies, risks, and action items.
• Identify and resolve execution gaps before they require escalation.
• Ensure stakeholders remain aligned on milestones, priorities, and deliverables.
• Lead recurring meetings and program reviews with external foundry and silicon vendor partners.
• Facilitate joint working sessions, milestone reviews, and face-to-face meetings.
• Drive vendors to execute against defined technical and program requirements.
• Maintain integrated program schedules connecting internal milestones with vendor commitments.
• Identify schedule or execution misalignment early and drive corrective actions.
• Maintain authoritative program trackers across internal and external workstreams.
• Track milestones, deliverables, dependencies, owners, and due dates.
• Prepare milestone status reports, executive readouts, and decision items for engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Provide clear visibility into program progress, blockers, and upcoming milestones.
• Maintain a comprehensive risk register covering technical execution, vendor delivery, IP/confidentiality, and schedule risks.
• Develop and track mitigation plans with clearly assigned owners and resolution dates.
• Escalate critical risks appropriately and provide concise risk summaries for leadership reviews.
