  • Own the integrated post-silicon program plan from silicon power-on through bring-up, validation, qualification, customer sampling, and release to manufacturing.
  • Drive program schedules, budgets, resources, dependencies, and risk management while balancing scope, schedule, and cost.
  • Manage validation readiness and execution alignment across firmware, hardware, test content, platform availability, and milestone tracking.
  • Run phase-gate exit criteria, readiness checkpoints, dashboards, and decision forums to enable predictable delivery.
  • Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, product, operations, quality, manufacturing, and customer-facing teams.
  • Drive internal technical issue resolution through triage, escalation management, milestone reviews, and executive reporting.
  • Own customer sampling readiness, including sample allocation, known-issue documentation, errata, release notes, reference platforms, and validation summaries.
  • Partner with product engineering, test engineering, operations, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams on manufacturing readiness and production ramp execution.
