[India] ASIC Program Manager

About Edgecortix

EdgeCortix is a fabless semiconductor design and development company headquartered in Japan and focused on enabling energy-efficient edge intelligence in the estimated +$250 Billion TAM for the global edge computing market.

Founded in 2019 with the radical idea of taking a software first approach, while designing an artificial intelligence specific runtime reconfigurable processor from the ground up using a technique called "hardware & software co-exploration". We are targeting advanced computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI applications, at very low power and low latency, leveraging proprietary hardware and software IP on our custom designed SAKURA ASSP (ASIC).

Our company is geared towards positively disrupting the rapidly growing AI edge hardware space across defense, aerospace, smart cities, industry 4.0, autonomous vehicles and robotics, across the complex world of systems operating outside of typical data centers, colloquially called “the edge”.

The Team

As a team, we are working to define and solve the hardest problems in AI including computer vision, speech, and natural language processing, geared towards real-time capabilities on small to medium form factor devices. We originated out of multiple years of research, as such at our core we value learning, intellectual curiosity, and self-starters. We have the ambitious goal of enabling a distributed intelligent edge ecosystem that complements a centralized cloud infrastructure, while keeping data private, enabling real-time computation and the ability to learn continuously from the real-world data.

With the completion of our most  recent funding round, announced in October of 2023, the team is set to grow in three key geographic locations: Japan, the United States and India.

Role & responsibilities:

This is a critical and visible role.

The program manager is responsible for the program execution of the ASIC program in terms of schedule, performance, power, cost and quality.

Identifies project risks working with the engineering teams and creates a mitigation plan, tracks regularly, and reviews with the executive team.

Predictable Execution is the ultimate goal.

Keeps dependencies under control and keeps all stakeholders informed periodically.

Ensures Change control, conducts project development milestone reviews, and other ASIC development processes are effectively implemented.

Roll up and report regularly to senior management on key development milestones, metrics, risks, and risk mitigation plans.

Works closely with design and technical leads, implementation teams, and other program managers to ensure the successful and timely delivery of quality products.

 
Desired Qualifications:

• ASIC program management experience. Experience inthe complete ASIC life cycle development cycle


• Meticulous Planning, Scheduling, Execution, Risk management and Delivery of SOCs


• Collaboration with ASIC functional teams (Architecture, Design, Verification, DFT, Physical Design) and cross-functional teams (IT, EDA partners, HW boards, SW, Validation, Business)


• Good understanding of SOC design flows


• Strong communication skills


• Metrics definition, generation for program, resource burn charts


• PMP certification is a value-add


• Process-oriented individual - Defining project gates, Hand-off criteria, Critical path definition and tracking, Identifying project big rocks and tracking


• Must have strong knowledge of planning tools like Microsoft mpp, advanced xls power point and project management tools.


• Must have strong interpersonal skills and be able to communicate at all levels


• Track record of program management performance
