Job Summary
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
