Senior Project Manager for Sensor Product Development

Overview

Lead complex, cross-functional semiconductor sensor product-development projects end-to-end within the Research & Development team, from project initiation and concept through design, tape-out, silicon validation, qualification, industrialization and production ramp.

What you'll do

• Take overall project ownership and accountability for scope, schedule, budget, resources, quality, risks and deliverables throughout the complete product-development lifecycle.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary development teams across IC design, verification, product and test engineering, application engineering, package development, quality, operations and manufacturing.
• Build and maintain an integrated project plan, actively manage dependencies and ensure timely execution to achieve committed milestones and production-start targets.
• Drive project governance through structured status reporting, milestone and gate preparation, decision tracking and proactive stakeholder management.
• Identify and manage project risks, issues and critical-path dependencies, including timely escalation to management and ownership of mitigation and recovery actions.
• Manage requirements, scope and change requests throughout the development lifecycle and ensure appropriate impact assessment and decision-making.
• Maintain close cooperation with internal and external customers, suppliers and development partners.
• Align Engineering, Marketing, Product Management, Operations and Quality to ensure technical and business objectives and customer requirements are met.

What you'll need

• Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Semiconductor Engineering or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in semiconductor or comparable R&D-focused industries, including 4+ years of hands-on responsibility for leading complex, multidisciplinary and multi-site projects.
• Proven end-to-end project management experience in semiconductor product development, covering major lifecycle phases beyond IC design and tape-out, such as silicon bring-up, verification and validation, product and test engineering, qualification, industrialization and production ramp.
• Demonstrated experience managing project scope, schedule, budget and resources, risks, dependencies, changes and cross-functional teams.
• Solid understanding of the semiconductor product-development lifecycle and the interaction between design, package, test, validation, quality and manufacturing functions.
• Strong expertise in project planning, risk management, project governance and executive-level reporting; IPMA-C certification or willingness to certify within one year.
• Experience with configuration management, requirements and change management, and structured risk-management methods, including FMEA.
• Proven ability to operate in a multi-site and cross-functional environment, managing competing priorities and driving decisions across organizational boundaries.
• Excellent communication, presentation, stakeholder-management and organizational skills, with proficiency in English.
• Assertive, accountable and entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to challenge constructively, resolve conflicts and drive projects toward decisions.
• Strong team player and project leader who can motivate teams while maintaining ownership of project commitments.

Nice to have

• Sensor-product experience.
