Job description
There are no layers, no approval chains, no corporate theater.
- If you have an idea, we test it. If it works, we ship it.
- No endless meetings, no PowerPoint presentations to convince middle management., TylSemi is looking for a Technical Program Manager who can sit at the intersection of silicon, supply chain, and customer success. You will own the operational thread that connects our strategic initiatives to customers and semiconductor supply chain - making sure every engagement moves with precision from idea to silicon.
This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role at a company in its earliest and most consequential stage. You will work directly with founders, customers, and the leading semiconductor ecosystem players. No layers, no ambiguity about impact.
What you’ll do
- Manage all active customer engagements end-to-end: from architectural spec alignment through tape-out, KGD testing, packaging, and volume shipment milestones
- Ensure alignment with ecosystem partners - including foundries, OSAT/packaging houses, EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence), and IP partners
- Translate customer requirements (silicon architecture, interface specs, package form factor, delivery schedules) into internal program plans with clear owners and dates
- Build and maintain program trackers, risk registers, and executive dashboards covering each engagement
- Drive gate reviews and weekly program syncs across internal RTL/DV, physical design, and validation teams
- Manage internal and external scoping and delivery timelines in coordination with technical and business teams
- Identify and escalate risks early; propose and implement mitigations before they become schedule threats
Requirements
If you’re reading this, you’re probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits., * 15+ years of technical program or project management experience in semiconductor, custom silicon, or chiplet/advanced packaging environments
- Direct experience interfacing with ecosystem partners - chip development schedules, interdependencies on EDA and IP, tape-out schedules and silicon bring-up timelines
- Familiarity with silicon fabrication, advanced packaging formats: CoWoS, InFO, 2.5D/3D integration, substrate/interposer-based assembly
- Technical fluency in SoC or chiplet design flows - enough to understand RTL milestones, DV sign-off, PD handoffs, and silicon bring-up phases without needing translation
- Strong communication skills - comfortable presenting program status and risk posture to internal and external stakeholders
- Proficiency with program tracking tools (and spreadsheet-based trackers); experience building program infrastructure from scratch is a plus
- Familiarity with key connectivity IPs UCIe, PCIe Gen 5/6/7+, or high-bandwidth D2D interconnect standards is a strong plus
Good to Have
- Prior experience at a chiplet startup, merchant silicon company, or systems company
- Background in AI/ML infrastructure silicon - accelerators, network switches, CPO-enabled platforms
- Familiarity with IVR/PMIC integration challenges in advanced packaging
- Exposure to EDA infrastructure programs (SNPS/CDNS cloud flows)
Benefits & conditions
The AI infrastructure market is exploding. Every hyperscaler, every cloud provider, every AI company is building custom silicon. But they all face the same problem: how do you connect hundreds of chips, deliver clean power at scale, and move terabits of data without melting the package?
That’s what we solve. TYLsemi builds the chiplet infrastructure IP - the IO, power delivery, and interconnect building blocks - that makes AI/HPC systems actually work at scale., * The market is real. AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what we’re building.
- The team has done this before. We’ve built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isn’t our first rodeo.
- The traction is de-risked. We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.
- The work is consequential. You’re not optimizing someone’s ad click-through rate. You’re building the silicon infrastructure that powers AI.
This is the bet. Join us and build something that matters.
Or stay comfortable. No judgment.
But if you’re the kind of person who wants to take the shot, we’d love to talk., The compensation range shown below represents total target cash compensation and includes both base salary and target bonus. Actual compensation will vary based on factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, job level, and work location.
In addition to cash compensation, this position is eligible for equity in the form of stock options, giving you the opportunity to share in the Company’s long-term growth and success. FULL_TIME Organization https://startup.jobs/logos/56232 TYLsemi None Startups Place
