About the job
Anthropic is building custom silicon for Claude. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end execution of our silicon, from architecture definition through tapeout, first-silicon bring-up, and production ramp. You will work alongside domain experts across front-end design, verification, physical design, DFT, analog/mixed-signal, foundry, and packaging. This is a partner-heavy program, driving external engagements with ASIC design services, IP vendors, foundry, and OSAT.
Key responsibilities
- Own the integrated silicon program plan — architecture closure, RTL freeze, DV milestones, IP delivery, PD closure, DFT, tapeout, and post-silicon bring-up.
- Drive external partner execution across ASIC design partners, IP vendors, foundry, and packaging/test.
- Run technology and IP selection as a program, driving evaluations to decisions.
- Build execution mechanisms — milestone definitions, risk tracking, design reviews, release management, exec reporting.
- Manage interface between silicon and consumers: hardware systems, inference/kernels/compiler teams.
- Own post-silicon program — bring-up planning, ATE/test handoff, sample distribution, validation, production readiness.
- Develop AI-assisted approaches to program management.
Minimum qualifications
- 8+ years in silicon/SoC program management or equivalent.
- Direct ownership of at least one program that taped out and reached production.
- Technical fluency across silicon lifecycle — front-end, DV, PD, DFT, foundry, packaging.
- Experience running external silicon partners.
- Track record of building program mechanisms from scratch.
- Strong written communication.
- Comfort with high autonomy.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience on ML accelerators, high-performance compute, networking, or large SoCs.
- Experience on first-generation or early silicon programs.
- Experience with partner-executed and in-house programs.
- Hands-on engineering background in silicon domains.
- Familiarity with chip-package-system interface.
- Experience with hardware-software co-design.
- Practical experience using AI tools.
