Jobs at Eliyan Corporation (Now Hiring) — 5 open

Eliyan is building the interconnect technology that makes chiplet-based systems possible. Our NuLink™ die-to-die PHY IP and NuGear™ chiplet solutions — offered both as licensable IP and as fully integrated chiplet products — deliver up to 4x the bandwidth and half the power of alternative approaches, letting the industry’s leading AI, HPC, and networking silicon teams mix best-in-class dies into a single high-performance package using both open standards (UCIe) and our own proprietary interconnect. As an Eliyan Principal / Sr. Principal Technical Program Manager, you’ll own the end-to-end execution of our IP, ASIC, and platform programs — from architecture and IP definition through design, verification, silicon bring-up, and production readiness. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a deep bench of design, packaging, and software experts who operate from first principles and push the envelope to create high-volume, high-performance, manufacturable products. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role at a fast-moving, early-stage company defining a new category of semiconductor technology.

ON-SITE (BAY AREA)

\nKey Responsibilities:

• Program Leadership: Own end-to-end execution of IP, ASIC, and platform programs, from architecture and IP definition through design, verification, validation, silicon bring-up, and production readiness.
• Plan of Record & Critical Path Management: Build and maintain an integrated program schedule spanning design, verification, DFT, physical design, packaging, and software; own the critical path and drive it to closure.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Partner daily with digital design, design verification, DFT, physical design, analog/mixed-signal design, packaging and substrate design, PCB and platform design, silicon bring-up, firmware, and software teams to keep every workstream aligned.
• Technical Fluency: Get into the technical details of interconnect and chiplet architecture, packaging tradeoffs, and SoC-level integration — enough to ask sharp questions, unblock engineering decisions, and speak credibly with customers and partners.
• Vendor and IP Management: Manage external IP vendors and OSAT/packaging partners, holding them accountable to committed timelines, specifications, and quality.
• Customer Engagement: Serve as the primary program interface to customers, defining deliverables and ensuring seamless integration of Eliyan’s IP and silicon solutions into their products.
• Schedule and Risk Management: Define milestones, maintain a live risk register, and proactively identify and mitigate the risks most likely to move the critical path.
• Budget and Resource Allocation: Manage program budgets, allocate resources efficiently, and track spend against plan to optimize development efforts.
• Technical Reviews and Decision-Making: Run regular program and technical reviews, surface tradeoffs, and drive decisions that optimize performance, cost, and schedule.
• Executive Reporting and Metrics: Quantify program health with clear KPIs, and translate technical detail into concise, decision-ready updates for engineering leadership and executives.
• Process, Documentation, and Reporting: Define and continuously improve program management practices and tooling as Eliyan scales, maintain clear documentation, and keep stakeholders informed with regular updates.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 15+ years of semiconductor program management experience, including pre-silicon and post-silicon execution across at least two full IP or ASIC programs, from concept through production.
• Proven ability to lead large-scale, complex, multi-disciplinary semiconductor programs from architecture through volume production.
• Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple concurrent programs at once, making portfolio-level trade-offs — prioritizing resources, schedules, and scope across programs to maximize overall business impact.
• Deep working knowledge of the full silicon development lifecycle — front-end and back-end design, DV, DFT, packaging, PCB/platform design, and silicon bring-up.
• Experience managing external IP vendors and direct customer engagements around technical deliverables and integration.
• Strong track record driving schedule, risk, and budget management across many concurrent, interdependent workstreams.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor style, tone, and level of detail to any audience — from a deep technical exchange with individual engineers to a concise, decision-ready narrative for the CEO.
• Ability to influence and drive alignment across engineering teams without direct authority, in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Experience with program management tools (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, Confluence) and methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid).
