Why This Role Matters

At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Networking, we are building the next generation of high-performance silicon to power networking at scale. This is not a coordination role—it is a high-impact leadership position at the center of one of the most technically complex programs in the company.

As a Senior ASIC Program Manager, you will drive end-to-end delivery of cutting-edge ASICs, connecting silicon engineering, systems, firmware, and operations. You’ll bring clarity to complexity, influence without authority, and ensure execution stays on track across a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

Role Overview

You will own the planning, execution, and delivery of complex ASIC/SoC and Hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) programs—from early concept through production and end-of-life.

This role sits at the intersection of silicon, hardware, and software, ensuring alignment on schedule, cost, quality, and technical performance. You will lead cross-functional teams across multiple sites and partner closely with executive leadership to drive program success.

Program Execution & Delivery

• Lead the full ASIC/SoC and hardware NPI lifecycle, including:
  architecture, RTL, design verification, physical design, tape-out, silicon bring-up, validation, and production release

• Own program scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality; define milestones and drive accountability

• Build and maintain detailed project plans, including dependencies and critical path analysis

• Drive silicon bring-up readiness, including hardware/software alignment, lab infrastructure, and validation strategy

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Drive execution across engineering disciplines: RTL, DV, physical design, DFT, CAD, test, packaging, product engineering, systems, and firmware

• Lead alignment across teams without direct authority; resolve conflicts and escalate when needed

• Partner with product management and systems engineering to align features, performance targets (PPA), and delivery timelines

• Mentor or coordinate with program managers and project leads as program complexity scales

Reporting, Governance & Process

• Track program health through metrics and dashboards; proactively manage risks and trade-offs

• Deliver clear, structured updates to executives and stakeholders across global teams

• Drive continuous improvement of program management processes

• Ensure compliance with quality standards, including ISO 9000

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field

• 8+ years of program management experience, including 3–5+ years in ASIC program leadership

• Strong understanding of ASIC/SoC and hardware NPI development flows

• Proven ownership of end-to-end ASIC programs, including at least two full tape-out cycles

• Track record of delivering multiple complex ASIC/SoC programs through bring-up and production

• Experience managing large-scale programs (50+ engineers, multi-site teams, multi-million dollar budgets)

• Experience leading large, cross-functional engineering teams across multiple locations

• Expertise in program planning, scheduling, risk management, and dependency tracking

• Ability to influence and align senior stakeholders without direct authority

• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, or ATE/bench validation

• Experience managing foundry or vendor relationships (NRE, mask costs, qualification)

• Familiarity with program management tools such as Smartsheet or equivalent

• Experience with leading-edge process nodes (7nm or below) is a plus

• PMP, CSM, or similar certification
