Our NuLink die-to-die PHY IP and NuGear chiplet solutions - offered both as licensable IP and as fully integrated chiplet products - deliver up to 4x the bandwidth and half the power of alternative approaches, letting the industry's leading AI, HPC, and networking silicon teams mix best-in-class dies into a single high-performance package using both open standards (UCIe) and our own proprietary interconnect. As an Eliyan Principal / Sr. Principal Technical Program Manager, you'll own the end-to-end execution of our IP, ASIC, and platform programs - from architecture and IP definition through design, verification, silicon bring-up, and production readiness. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a deep bench of design, packaging, and software experts who operate from first principles and push the envelope to create high-volume, high-performance, manufacturable products. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role at a fast-moving, early-stage company defining a new category of semiconductor technology. ON-SITE (BAY AREA), * Program Leadership: Own end-to-end execution of IP, ASIC, and platform programs, from architecture and IP definition through design, verification, validation, silicon bring-up, and production readiness. * Plan of Record & Critical Path Management: Build and maintain an integrated program schedule spanning design, verification, DFT, physical design, packaging, and software; own the critical path and drive it to closure. * Cross-Functional Coordination: Partner daily with digital design, design verification, DFT, physical design, analog/mixed-signal design, packaging and substrate design, PCB and platform design, silicon bring-up, firmware, and software teams to keep every workstream aligned. * Technical Fluency: Get into the technical details of interconnect and chiplet architecture, packaging tradeoffs, and SoC-level integration - enough to ask sharp questions, unblock engineering decisions, and speak credibly with customers and partners. * Vendor and IP Management: Manage external IP vendors and OSAT/packaging partners, holding them accountable to committed timelines, specifications, and quality. * Customer Engagement: Serve as the primary program interface to customers, defining deliverables and ensuring seamless integration of Eliyan's IP and silicon solutions into their products. * Schedule and Risk Management: Define milestones, maintain a live risk register, and proactively identify and mitigate the risks most likely to move the critical path. * Budget and Resource Allocation: Manage program budgets, allocate resources efficiently, and track spend against plan to optimize development efforts. * Technical Reviews and Decision-Making: Run regular program and technical reviews, surface tradeoffs, and drive decisions that optimize performance, cost, and schedule. * Executive Reporting and Metrics: Quantify program health with clear KPIs, and translate technical detail into concise, decision-ready updates for engineering leadership and executives. * Process, Documentation, and Reporting: Define and continuously improve program management practices and tooling as Eliyan scales, maintain clear documentation, and keep stakeholders informed with regular updates. ## Related Videos - [The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/393-the-billion-dollar-machine-first-time-right) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
