What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in project/program management within engineering, ideally in semiconductor, IP, or ASIC design environments.
• Formal project management certification or demonstrable experience (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, or similar).
• Strong understanding of IP and SoC development processes, including technical and lifecycle aspects.
• Hands-on experience with UNIX operating systems, MS Project, and MS Excel for planning and tracking.
• Familiarity with Business Intelligence and Data Visualization tools (e.g., Power BI) for reporting and analysis.
• Proven ability to implement and improve project management methodologies and tools in a matrix organization.

Who You Are:

• Influential leader with strong collaboration skills, able to work effectively across multiple teams and organizational boundaries.
• Excellent written and verbal communicator, adept at conveying complex information to diverse audiences.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in dynamic environments.
• Creative problem-solver with a track record of navigating complexity and ambiguity.
• Committed to personal and professional development, with formal training in communication, negotiation, moderation, and leadership.
