Summary of Role:

Owns day‑to‑day execution of assigned custom silicon customer programs, including MIPS‑based MCUs and Sensor SoCs, for strategic customers (e.g., automotive Tier‑1s). Acts as the primary program execution interface between the customer and GlobalFoundries/MIPS cross‑functional teams, ensuring predictable delivery, issue resolution, and customer satisfaction across the full silicon lifecycle.

This role is an individual contributor with full program ownership for one or more customer programs but no people‑management responsibility.

Essential Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end execution of assigned customer‑specific silicon programs from early engagement through SOP, volume ramp, and sustaining.

• Serve as the single point of contact for program execution with the customer, providing clear communication on status, risks, and commitments.

• Drive cross‑functional coordination across IP, design, verification, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and commercial teams.

• Develop and maintain program plans, schedules, milestones, and risk registers for complex custom products.

• Proactively identify, manage, and escalate technical, schedule, cost, or supply risks.

• Support change management, including scope changes, milestones updates, and customer change requests.

• Ensure programs meet customer delivery, quality, and performance expectations.

Core Competencies

• Hands‑on customer program execution (custom silicon / SoC)

• Strong cross‑functional coordination and issue resolution

• Automotive customer engagement and delivery discipline

• Structured program planning, tracking, and risk management

• Clear, concise customer and internal communication

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs. 

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• 15+ years of experience in semiconductors, with exposure to SoC, MCU, or custom silicon programs.

• Experience working directly with customers and internal engineering teams across silicon development lifecycles.

• Strong execution mindset with ability to operate independently.
