Program Manager – Diagnostics

THE ROLE

The Program Manager is responsible for driving planning, execution, and delivery of diagnostic, debug, validation, and enablement software across complex silicon programs. This role works closely with cross‑functional engineering teams to define requirements, build executable schedules, manage dependencies, track risks, and ensure high‑quality delivery against aggressive program milestones.

This position sits at the intersection of software, silicon, platform, product engineering, validation, and customer execution. The Program Manager – Diagnostics will coordinate globally distributed teams, manage program readiness, support customer‑facing debug activities, and help ensure diagnostics deliverables are available on time to support silicon bring‑up, validation, production readiness, and customer enablement.

The ideal candidate is a proactive and collaborative program leader who can operate effectively in fast‑paced environments, drive clarity through ambiguity, and help technical teams stay aligned on priorities, risks, blockers, and deliverables.

You are a highly motivated and adaptable program manager with strong ownership, communication, and execution skills. You are comfortable working with engineering teams across multiple functions, geographies, and time zones. You can quickly understand technical issues at the right level of depth, translate them into clear program actions, and drive teams toward closure.

You are able to manage multiple priorities, identify risks early, elevate appropriately, and maintain strong execution discipline. You build trust with engineering leads, program stakeholders, and customers by communicating clearly, staying organized, and following through on commitments.

You are not expected to be the technical expert in every area, but you are expected to ask the right questions, bring the right people together, and ensure that issues, owners, dependencies, and timelines are clearly understood.

• Drive end‑to‑end program execution for diagnostics software deliverables across silicon programs.
• Partner with diagnostics engineering teams, design teams, platform teams, product engineering, validation teams, and customer‑facing teams to define requirements and delivery scope.
• Translate technical requirements, roadmap assumptions, and customer needs into executable program plans and schedules.
• Track deliverables, milestones, dependencies, risks, and blockers across multiple teams and geographies.
• Drive alignment across functional teams to ensure diagnostics readiness for silicon bring‑up, validation, production, and customer enablement.
• Coordinate diagnostic software releases, customer deliverables, test readiness, and execution status as needed.
• Manage customer‑driven requests and changing priorities while protecting committed program milestones.
• Provide clear and concise status updates to technical leadership, program stakeholders, and cross‑functional teams.
• Lead risk identification and mitigation planning, including dependency tracking and escalation management.
• Facilitate issue triage and cross‑team debug coordination when program execution is blocked.
• Drive accountability for action items, owners, and closure timelines.
• Support program budgeting, device planning, resource tracking, and operational planning as required.
• Continuously improve execution processes, communication mechanisms, and program tracking efficiency.

• Experience in software program management, engineering program management, or technical project management.
• Experience working in semiconductor, silicon validation, embedded software, diagnostics, platform enablement, hardware OEM/ODM, or related technical domains.
