NextSilicon is reimagining high-performance computing (HPC & AI). Our accelerated compute solutions leverage intelligent adaptive algorithms to vastly accelerate supercomputers, driving them forward into a new generation. We have developed a novel software-defined hardware architecture that is achieving significant advancements in both the HPC and AI domains.

At NextSilicon, everything we do is guided by three core values:

• Professionalism: We strive for exceptional results through professionalism and unwavering dedication to quality and performance.
• Unity: Collaboration is key to success. That's why we foster a work environment where every employee can feel valued and heard.
• Impact: We're passionate about developing technologies that make a meaningful impact on industries, communities, and individuals worldwide.

Our hardware group is designing NextSilicon’s groundbreaking silicon from the ground up-including micro-architecture, RTL design, and full-chip verification-to deliver a high-performance hardware platform that redefines how HPC and AI workloads are processed.

We are seeking a talented Program Manager to join our team. In this high-visibility, hands-on role, you will drive forward the development of our chip by managing the complete program lifecycle, from architecture to successful tapeout, ensuring deliverables meet scope, schedule, and quality requirements.

• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or another relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6+ years of experience in technical program or project management of software engineering projects supporting large scale software and hardware groups.
• Experience leading the full silicon development lifecycle, managing cross-functional hardware programs from architecture and Design Verification (DV) through tapeout.
• Hands-on experience with project management methodologies, preferably Agile, and tools—ideally Jira.
• Excellent problem solving, organizational and analytical skills, with a proven ability to take initiative and build strong and productive working relationships.
• Excellent communication and management skills.
• Familiarity with.
• Hardware background: an advantage.
• Customers facing experience : an advantage

• Lead the planning, development and implementation process of cross-functional teams focused on product delivery.
• Drive the execution of the hardware roadmap by managing the complete lifecycle from architecture definition to tapeout.
• Partnering tightly with Architecture, RTL Design, and Design Verification (DV) leads to identify bottlenecks, track coverage metrics, and mitigate risks before they impact the tapeout schedule.
• Define the core operational processes and modes of work for the entire HW group, building and refining the stage-gate reviews required to transition smoothly from architecture into implementation and verification.
• Oversee project monitoring, reporting, and risk management, from initiation to delivery, addressing intergroup dependencies to ensure timely and successful completion.
• Lead process and methodology improvements, proactively addressing issues to achieve business goals.
