Senior Technical Program Manager, Lattice Simulation

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Grow the impact of our simulation teams. The capabilities we build help the whole company move faster and ship higher-quality solutions.
• Own the most important cross-team engineering efforts from definition through test and delivery.
• Get teams to turn their roadmaps into trackable near-term plans, and roll those plans up across the group so leadership has a clear view of what ships when.
• Run the group's operating cadence, including the operating rhythm, all-hands, and the initiatives that span the whole group.
• Give leadership and partner teams a clear read on delivery status, surfacing blockers early and escalating tradeoffs when a decision is needed.
• Define how the group plans, tracks, and ships work, and drive the process changes that make cross-team delivery predictable.
• Clear blockers for the platform engineers who own our simulation capabilities, and hold senior engineers and managers accountable on technical grounds.

Job requirements

• Minimum of five years as a TPM in a fast-paced software development environment
• Hands-on software or engineering background, enough to read architecture and design docs, map cross-service dependencies, and challenge senior engineers on technical tradeoffs and estimates rather than relay them
• Strong project management experience for software development, with practical command of multiple methodologies and judgment about when to apply each
• Track record owning cross-functional engineering efforts and getting senior engineers and managers to reprioritize on technical grounds
• Experience standing up delivery and tracking processes in an org with little existing structure
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to use data and metrics to drive decisions
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance
