What MatX Is Building

MatX is on a mission to be the compute platform for Artificial General Intelligence. We are developing vertically integrated full-stack solutions from silicon to systems including hardware and software to train and run the largest Machine Learning workloads for Artificial General Intelligence. 

MatX is seeking a Technical Program Manager to join our silicon team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. Successful candidates for this role  will be responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon for MatX products across compute, memory management. High-speed connectivity and other key technologies.

About the Role

You will own the cross-functional execution framework for advanced SOC programs from early planning through tapeout. You will drive milestones, dependencies, execution reviews, decision-making forums, risk management, and tapeout readiness across multiple engineering teams.

What You'll Do Here

• Develop playbooks and best practices for program management across the PD organization for cross-functional deliveries.
• Lead end-to-end execution of SoC development programs from concept through production
• Drive issue resolution during pre-silicon execution, tapeout, bring-up, debug, qualification, and yield learning ensuring physical design readiness. 
• Support silicon planning across performance, power, area, cost, reliability, and manufacturability tradeoffs. 
• Build and maintain program trackers, risk registers, and executive dashboards covering each engagement
• Track technical dependencies,schedule risks, owners, closure dates, critical path, program milestones, tapeout readiness, and silicon bring-up deliverables. schedule risks, owners, closure dates, and escalation paths.
• Drive gate reviews and weekly program syncs physical design, and validation teams
• Manage technical risks related to schedule, design maturity, Intellectual Property readiness, verification closure, physical signoff, package/test readiness, and supply chain.
• Prepare executive-level updates covering milestone health, top risks, decisions needed, critical path, and resource gaps.

• 10+ years of technical program management, silicon engineering program management or leading SoC programs through multiple phases of the silicon lifecycle. 
• Experience driving complex cross-functional programs with multiple engineering teams, technical dependencies, external vendors, and aggressive schedules.
• Experience with program planning, dependency management, milestone tracking, and technical risk management. 
• Experience managing pre-silicon Application Specific Integrated Circuit development flows, including architecture planning, RTL design, functional verification, synthesis, DFT, physical design, timing closure, signoff, and tapeout.
• Experience with pre-silicon validation platforms such as simulation, emulation, Field-Programmable Gate Array prototyping, or hardware/software co-validation.
• Strong technical judgment with the ability to manage trade-offs across performance, power, area, cost, schedule, quality, and risk.
• Technical fluency in SoC or chiplet design flows - enough to understand RTL milestones, DV sign-off, PD handoffs, and silicon bring-up phases without needing translation
• Ability to drive schedules, dependency management, issue tracking, risk management, milestone governance, and executive-level communication.
• Experience coordinating design reviews and driving closure across cross-functional engineering teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize technical risks, tradeoffs, decisions, and schedule impact.
• Proficiency with program-management and engineering collaboration tools such as Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Smartsheet, MS Project, Google Workspace, or equivalent.

• Experience with AI infrastructure, datacenter racks, networking systems, storage systems, or high-power server platforms.
• Experience coordinating programs involving high-speed interconnects, liquid-cooled systems, telemetry, diagnostics, or rack-scale validation.
• Prior hands-on engineering experience in BE PD.
