Senior Program Manager — Analog/ASIC/SoC Semiconductor Product Development

About Texas Instruments
At TI, we design and manufacture analog and embedded semiconductors that power the world's most critical systems — from automotive and industrial to communications and power management. Our Custom Development team builds highly differentiated semiconductor solutions for the world's most demanding customers — and we need exceptional Program Managers to lead these high-stakes programs to success.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional custom semiconductor development programs from concept to production. This is not a generic PM role — we are specifically looking for candidates with hands-on semiconductor background in Analog, ASIC, or SoC development, who deeply understand the design flow and can engage with technical teams as a credible peer while driving program execution with precision.
You will work closely with systems, design, DV, layout, operations, marketing & sales, post-silicon validation, test, quality, and very demanding customer teams to ensure successful execution of schedules, deliverables, and business goals.
⚠️ Important — Who Should Apply
This role is exclusively for candidates from a semiconductor background with direct experience in Analog IC, ASIC, or SoC product development. Candidates without semiconductor industry experience will not be considered.
What You'll Do
🎯 Program Ownership
Lead end-to-end program planning, execution, and delivery for analog/mixed-signal/embedded semiconductor products
Drive program scope, timelines, risk assessment, budgeting, and resource planning
Ensure execution efficacy, timeline adherence, quality control, and stakeholder management for custom development programs serving demanding customers
🤝 Cross-Functional Leadership
Coordinate with design, DV, layout, post-Si validation, test engineering, quality, packaging, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and operations teams across global sites
Facilitate program reviews, technical checkpoints, and decision gates
Serve as the connective tissue between highly specialized technical teams and business stakeholders
📅 Schedule & Risk Management
Create and maintain detailed program schedules using industry-standard tools
Identify risks early, develop mitigation plans, and ensure teams stay aligned to program objectives
Proactively surface critical path issues before they become program-level threats
📣 Customer & Stakeholder Communication
Act as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
Present program status, key metrics, and critical issues to leadership and customers with clarity and confidence
Manage expectations across highly demanding customer engagements with professionalism
✅ Quality & Compliance
Ensure programs meet TI's quality, reliability, and regulatory standards along with customer-mandated quality checks
Coordinate root cause analysis and corrective actions when deviations arise
Drive a culture of quality accountability across all program teams
💼 Operational & Business Support
Collaborate with product line management on go-to-market strategies
Monitor cost, yield, and performance targets throughout the product lifecycle
Align program outcomes with broader business objectives
What You Bring
✅ Experience: 5–10+ years of program/project management experience specifically in semiconductors — Analog IC, ASIC, or SoC product development
✅ Semiconductor DNA: Direct hands-on background in semiconductor development — you understand the flow from architecture → design → DV → layout → post-silicon validation → test → quality → production release
✅ Technical Credibility: Ability to engage with design, DV, and test engineers as a knowledgeable peer — not just a schedule tracker
✅ Program Management Tools: Proficiency with Jira, MS Project, Confluence, or equivalent program management platforms
✅ Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to coordinate large, globally distributed teams across multiple engineering and business disciplines
✅ Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — equally effective in a customer boardroom and an engineering war room
✅ Risk Management: Demonstrated track record of identifying risks early and driving mitigation to protect program outcomes
✅ Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, VLSI Design, or related technical field
Bonus Points If You Have
⭐ Prior experience as a design or validation engineer before transitioning into program management — giving you firsthand technical credibility
⭐ Experience managing custom ASIC or SoC programs for external customers in automotive, industrial, or communications verticals
⭐ Exposure to analog/mixed-signal product development — LDOs, DC-DC converters, gate drivers, amplifiers, or data converters
⭐ Familiarity with AEC-Q100 automotive qualification or other high-reliability program requirements
⭐ Experience managing programs across global sites — India, US, and Asia-Pacific
⭐ Background in post-silicon validation or test engineering within a semiconductor context
