Program Management - Principal TPM – Packaging, SI​/PI & System Integration

Eliyan Principal Technical Program Manager

Join the leading chiplet startup! As an Eliyan Principal Technical Program Manager, you will be working at a fast-paced early-stage startup creating technologies that fuel tomorrow's chiplet-based systems with best-in-class power, area, manufacturability, and design flexibility. You will drive day-to-day execution across multiple concurrent advanced packaging, SI/PI, and system integration programs — from early feasibility through qualification and production ramp — in close coordination with our broader ASIC development and platform programs.

You will work with a cross-functional team of experts who operate from first principles, innovate, and push the envelope to create high-volume, high-performance manufacturable products. We offer a fun work environment with excellent benefits.

This role sits at the intersection of packaging, signal/power integrity, and system design. As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will own the schedule, risk, and cross-team strategy for our packaging and SI/PI program portfolio, translating between analog and digital design teams, package and substrate engineers, and external vendors to keep every program on track. You will set the standard for how packaging programs are planned and executed across the company and represent packaging and system integration to executive leadership.

Strong candidates are comfortable coming up to speed quickly on unfamiliar technical territory, spot bottlenecks before they become critical-path problems, and know how to drive a room of engineers toward a resolution.

• Packaging & SI/PI Program Execution:
  Own and drive program schedules for advanced packaging and SI/PI work streams — including 2.5D/3D IC integration, chiplet interposer/substrate design, bump/RDL planning, and co-packaged optics (CPO) — from early feasibility through qualification and production ramp, ensuring milestones stay synchronized with die-level tapeout schedules.
• Technical Fluency Across the Design Flow:
  Maintain a deep working understanding of SI/PI, package, and system design flows — including inputs, outputs, and inter-stage dependencies — with the ability to engage meaningfully with analog and digital design teams as well as external vendors and suppliers.
• Multi-Program Portfolio Management:
  Manage multiple concurrent packaging and SI/PI projects simultaneously with clear, real-time visibility into the status of each. Assess and communicate the downstream impact of new or unplanned work on existing commitments, and confidently adjust priorities — or push back — when scope conflicts arise.
• Rapid Ramp-Up & Structured Problem-Solving:
  Rapidly come up to speed on new projects and unfamiliar technical domains, quickly identify technical and schedule bottlenecks, and drive structured brainstorming sessions to unblock the team and keep programs on track.
• Cross-Functional Coordination:
  Work closely with internal teams — including package/SI-PI engineering, physical design, DFT, analog design, PCB and platform design, silicon bring-up, and optical product development — to keep packaging milestones aligned with the broader ASIC and platform program.
• OSAT & Foundry/Vendor Management:
  Manage relationships and schedules with outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) partners, substrate vendors, and foundries; track packaging-specific deliverables (interposer fab, flip-chip assembly, bump qualification, reliability testing) against committed timelines.
• Customer & Partner Interface:
  Interface directly with customers and technology partners on packaging-related deliverables, co-design requirements, and integration milestones — particularly for CPO and advanced heterogeneous integration programs.
• Schedule and
  
  Risk Management:
  
  Define program timelines, set milestones (DOE runs, qualification builds, reliability testing cycles), and proactively identify and mitigate risks specific to advanced packaging technologies (yield, assembly tolerances, thermal/mechanical qualification).
• Budget & Resource Allocation:
  Own packaging program budgets, allocate resources across internal engineering and external…
