SCHIE delivers the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft's over 200 online businesses including Bing, MSN, Office 365, Xbox Live, Teams, OneDrive, and the Microsoft Azure platform globally with our server and data center infrastructure, security and compliance, operations, globalization, and manageability solutions. Our focus is on smart growth, high efficiency, and delivering a trusted experience to customers and partners worldwide and we are looking for engineers to help achieve that mission.\nThe Methodology, Infrastructure & Labs Engineering (MILE) team within SCHIE provides the engineering compute infrastructure, computer-aided design (CAD) flows and methods, and labs that Microsoft's silicon teams rely on to design and deliver custom chips. Our team at the India Development Center (IDC) supports two closely linked areas: CAD, which delivers the electronic design automation (EDA) tools, flows and methodologies used by silicon design teams, and Silicon Design Compute Services (SDCS), which runs the high-performance compute, cloud, job scheduling and storage environment those flows depend on, together with managed service partners. As our silicon roadmap grows, we need a Technical Program Manager to drive CAD and SDCS programs to delivery and bring financial rigor to this portfolio.\nAs a Technical Program Manager in MILE, you will lead technical programs across our CAD and SDCS portfolios and own budget planning and financial operations for them, so that Microsoft's silicon teams get the tools and compute they need, on time and at the right cost.\n#SCHIE\nResponsibilities\nLead CAD programs end to end, including EDA tool and flow rollouts, version upgrades, methodology changes and license capacity planning for silicon projects, defining scope, milestones, dependencies and success criteria with CAD engineers and design teams.\n\nLead SDCS programs for silicon design-compute infrastructure, such as high-performance compute cluster expansions, cloud migration and burst capacity, job scheduler and storage upgrades, and capacity planning against silicon project demand.\n\nRun program governance across CAD and SDCS: maintain roadmaps, plans and risk and issue logs, drive quarterly planning and objectives and key results (OKRs), and communicate status, risks and decisions clearly to leadership.\n\nOwn end-to-end budget planning, forecasting and tracking for EDA/CAD software licenses, emulation hardware and software, compute infrastructure and vendor services across OPEX, CAPEX and COGS, partnering with Finance on quarterly and annual planning cycles.\n\nPartner with silicon engineering teams, EDA vendors, Procurement, Finance and managed service providers to align on demand, contracts, purchase orders and service levels, and run regular business and service reviews.\n\nSupport delivery and financial health across the CAD and SDCS portfolio: identify risks, variances and optimization opportunities, drive trade-off decisions with leadership, and represent the programs in planning and executive reviews.\n\nDefine and report metrics for program delivery, spend versus forecast, license and compute utilization, and vendor SLA performance, using data and dashboards to improve cost efficiency, reliability and on-time execution.\n\nQualifications\nRequired Qualifications:\nRequired Qualifications Instruction: Qualifications must be pulled from the Role Library and cannot deviate from what is listed.\n\nBachelor's Degree AND 5+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience.\n4+ years experience in cloud Infrastructure, EDA, or CAD, including 2+ years as a project or program manager and a BS(BA) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Systems, a related field.\n\nStrong understanding of Agile concepts and proven experience applying them in a fast-paced, dynamic environment\n\nProficiency with project management tools such as Azure DevOps(ADO), Microsoft Project, Jira, etc.\n\nOther Requirements:\nAbility to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements is required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the following specialized security screening:\n\nMicrosoft Cloud Background Check. This position is required to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire or transfer and every two years thereafter.\n\nThis role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations.
