Overview:
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.
At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.
AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.
Responsibilities:
As a SoC Program Manager, you will lead end-to-end execution across complex System-on-Chip (SoC/ASIC) development programs from architecture through tapeout and post-silicon phases. You will drive program milestones, manage cross-functional dependencies across IP teams (CPU/GPU/NOC/DDR/SoC subsystems), and ensure alignment across RTL, PD, DFT, firmware, validation, and platform teams. You will be responsible for planning, tracking, reporting, and risk management across all phases of SoC execution, including architecture, design convergence, validation, tapeout, and silicon enablement, while ensuring predictable delivery and high-quality outcomes.
You bring strong execution discipline, structured program management, and cross-functional leadership. You partner seamlessly with architects, IP owners, RTL, PD, DFT, firmware, validation, and external vendors to drive convergence, resolve dependencies, and maintain schedule integrity. You understand system-level architecture, SoC integration challenges, milestones (e.g., architecture, RTL feature completion, physical design readiness, validation readiness, engineering change order (ECO) phase, tapeout) and the full lifecycle of complex SoC programs, with the ability to drive alignment across geographically distributed teams. You ensure execution is on-time, within cost, and manage scope changes. As a Program Manager you will drive AMD product solution deliverables and alignment with customers’ platforms to ensure highest level customer satisfaction throughout their product lifecycle. You proactively involve team members in planning, decision-making and execution efforts.
Define, structure, and drive end-to-end SoC program plans in alignment with architecture, design, and tapeout milestones.
Design milestones (architecture, RTL feature completion, physical design readiness, validation readiness, engineering change order (ECO) phase, tapeout)
Track progress across IP teams (CPU, NOC, DDR, SoC subsystems, etc.) and ensure timely milestone completion.
Work closely with architecture, RTL, PD, DFT, firmware, validation, and system engineering teams to resolve cross-domain dependencies.
Identify program risks early (schedule slips, dependency gaps, design readiness, vendor execution issues).
Collect, analyze, and publish program status and execution metrics (milestone health, dependency closure, risk status).
Maintain dashboards and trackers using Jira, Confluence, Excel, PowerBI, and internal tools.
Provide concise, executive-level weekly / monthly updates highlighting risks, progress, and key asks.
Implement automation for reporting, tracking, and data consolidation using tools like MS Project, Jira, and scripting.
Must have experience in SoC/ASIC product cycles and understanding of architecture, integration, validation, and silicon bring-up phases.
Proficiency in project management tools (JIRA, Confluence, PowerBI, Excel, MS Project, AI tools).
Strong organizational, problem-solving, interpersonal, presentation, written and verbal communication skills.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer/Electrical/Electronics Engineering
Formal project management education, PMP / Scrum Master
