Job Description:

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
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
  • $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
