  • Establish and track project plans, deliverables, dependencies, and risks using structured program management tools and processes
  • Lead regular cadence meetings (program reviews, status updates, execution checkpoints) to maintain visibility and accountability across stakeholders
  • Identify potential bottlenecks and proactively implement mitigation plans to keep programs on schedule
  • Ensure alignment between product strategy and execution timelines while maintaining clear communication across teams
  • Support new product introductions (NPI) and collaborate with operations/manufacturing to ensure smooth product transitions

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in Program Management, Project Management, or related roles within semiconductor, electronics, or hardware-driven environments
  • Strong understanding of product development lifecycles, particularly within RF, microwave, analog, or high-performance electronics industries
  • Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
  • Experience driving schedules, tracking deliverables, and maintaining organization across fast-paced product teams
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills with a detail-oriented, execution-driven mindset
  • Familiarity with program management tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, Smartsheet, or similar)

Preferred (Not Required)

  • Exposure to GaN, MMIC, RF components, or semiconductor-based product lines
  • Experience supporting engineering-heavy environments or hardware development programs
  • PMP or similar project/program management certification
