Sr. SoC Technical Program Manager, Silicon and System Group - Hardware

As a Senior SoC Technical Program Manager, you will orchestrate the pre‑silicon readiness, silicon bring‑up, and validation phases for next‑generation SOC solutions in Amazon Devices. You will interface with cross‑functional engineering teams spanning RTL, verification, bare metal software, firmware, validation, and hardware to ensure successful first silicon boot and production readiness.

Key job responsibilities

• Collaborate with SOC architecture, RTL design, and physical design teams to ensure backend readiness and pre‑silicon software readiness including bare metal software, boot ROM, and early firmware on virtual platforms.
• Lead end‑to‑end silicon bring‑up from first silicon arrival through successful boot and functional validation, coordinating bare metal software development and IP configuration validation.
• Drive Silicon Validation (SV) and Electrical Validation (EV) activities including comprehensive test plans, electrical characterization, and automated test framework development.
• Manage BSP development and integration including device drivers, bootloaders, and low‑level firmware across all SOC IP blocks.
• Coordinate IP vendor‑provided software components and drivers with internal BSP development, ensuring proper software abstraction layers and driver interfaces.
• Drive effective teamwork and collaboration across silicon design, verification, software, firmware, hardware, and validation teams with competing priorities.
• Conduct weekly bring‑up status reviews, manage project status and risk reviews from tape‑out through production release.
• Define and track key bring‑up performance metrics including time‑to‑boot, validation coverage, and issue resolution velocity.
• Work with external silicon vendors, IP providers, and validation partners to coordinate bring‑up activities and ensure timely delivery of IP configurations and software support.
• Create and maintain bring‑up process documentation and drive continuous improvement initiatives for future SOC programs.
