We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Silicon Operations Program Manager to manage and optimize the end-to-end supply chain processes for silicon wafers and advanced packaging (e.g., CoWoS). This role is mission-critical to identify capacity constraints, ensure on-time and cost-efficient delivery of silicon components, and align with cross-functional teams to meet engineering and production milestones. As part of our fast-paced, execution-driven team, you will work closely with internal engineering, external suppliers, and manufacturing partners to drive flawless execution from wafer start through bring-up and volume production.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and maintain end-to-end production schedules for silicon wafers, interposers, and test/assembly, supporting phases from engineering builds to mass production
Coordinate with foundries, OSATs (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test providers), and internal stakeholders to ensure production milestones and quality goals are met
Collaborate with test engineering teams to coordinate ATE test program development, bring-up planning, and bench validation hardware readiness
Track and forecast capacity planning across all silicon manufacturing stages, including wafer fabrication, component procurement, assembly, and test
Manage the procurement, delivery, and scheduling of key silicon components (e.g., wafers, interposers, substrates) to ensure optimal time-to-market
Act as the operational lead between internal teams and suppliers, ensuring transparency and alignment across silicon, packaging, validation, and manufacturing
Prepare for mass production ramp by ensuring material readiness, test infrastructure availability, and logistic support to mitigate bottlenecks or delays
Build and maintain demand forecasts for silicon and related components, based on build plans, yield assumptions, validation schedules, and market dynamics
Share regular forecasts with supply chain partners and ensure proactive capacity allocation at foundries and OSATs
Generate and maintain detailed dashboards and reports to track schedule adherence, capacity utilization, inventory status, and delivery performance for executive and technical stakeholders
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field
5+ years of experience in supply chain management, production planning, or operations within the semiconductor industry
Deep understanding of the silicon lifecycle: tape-out, fabrication, packaging, test, bring-up, and validation
Proven track record working with foundries (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) and OSATs (ASE, Amkor, JCET, etc.)
Willingness to travel up to 25% for onsite supplier engagement, engineering builds, and production ramp support
Strong understanding of: Silicon manufacturing processes, including wafer fabrication, dicing, bumping, CoWoS packaging, and testing
Proficiency in using ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and advanced Excel skills or analytics tools
Experience with hardware validation cycles and managing silicon hardware logistics
Exceptional program management and organizational skills with the ability to handle complex timelines and interdependencies
Effective communicator and cross-functional leader across engineering, validation, and operations teams
Nice to have:
Experience working on advanced process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm)
Familiarity with ATE platforms (Teradyne, Advantest) and test program infrastructure
Prior experience managing silicon bring-up in hyperscale computing, AI/ML, or high-performance SoC environments
PMP certification or equivalent project/program management training
Familiarity with CoWoS or other 2.5D/3D packaging technologies
