Preferred qualifications * Experience on ML accelerators, high-performance compute, networking, or other large, high-bandwidth SoCs at advanced process nodes. * Experience on a first-generation or early silicon program, including standing up flows, methodology, or vendor relationships from nothing. * Experience with both partner-executed and fully in-house programs, and a view on the trade-offs between them. * Prior hands-on engineering background in one or more silicon domains (design, DV, PD, DFT, or SI/PI). * Familiarity with the chip-package-system interface and co-design with a hardware systems team. * Experience with hardware-software co-design programs - working directly with compiler, kernel, or runtime teams. * Practical experience using AI tools in your own workflow, and clear ideas about where they help and where they don''t. * BS/MS in EE, CE, CS, or a related field, or equivalent experience., Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. ## Description Anthropic is building custom silicon for Claude. The hardware our models run on is one of the most direct levers we have on capability, cost, and reliability - and we''ve decided to take design authority over it ourselves., We''re looking for a Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end execution of our silicon, from architecture definition through tapeout, first-silicon bring-up, and production ramp. You''ll be working alongside a small group of domain experts across front-end design, verification, physical design, DFT, analog/mixed-signal, foundry, and packaging. There is no process to inherit - you''ll build the execution machinery this program runs on. This is a partner-heavy program by design. You''ll drive a portfolio of external engagements - ASIC design services, IP vendors, foundry, and OSAT. You should have shipped chips before, know what a realistic silicon schedule looks like and its failure modes, and be comfortable making consequential program calls without a large organization behind you. And because this is Anthropic, you''ll have Claude as a collaborator - we expect the TPMs on this team to push hard on what AI-assisted program management can look like., * Own the integrated silicon program plan - architecture closure, RTL freeze, DV milestones, IP delivery, PD closure, DFT, tapeout, and post-silicon bring-up. * Drive external partner execution across ASIC design partners, IP vendors, foundry, and packaging/test. * Run technology and IP selection as a program: track candidate vendors and options, drive evaluations to a decision, and land the build / buy / license calls with engineering leadership. * Build the execution mechanisms a silicon team needs - milestone definitions, risk and dependency tracking, design reviews, release management, exec reporting - and keep them lightweight enough that engineers actually use them. * Manage the interface between silicon and its consumers: hardware systems for package/board/bring-up, and inference/kernels/compiler teams for hardware-software co-design, so trade-offs land as coordinated decisions rather than late surprises. * Own the post-silicon program - bring-up planning, ATE/test handoff, sample distribution, validation, and the path to production readiness. * Develop and share AI-assisted approaches to program management - schedule and dependency modeling, spec and milestone consistency checking, partner-deliverable tracking, status synthesis.
