Leading technical excellence from concept to product release.

At NXP, Engineering Program Managers are trusted leaders who bring together world-class engineering teams to deliver complex semiconductor products with quality, predictability, and execution excellence.

As an EPM within Advanced Chip Engineering (ACE), you take ownership of large-scale hardware development programs covering analog and digital IP development, SoC integration, verification, and validation across the full V-model. You help teams navigate complexity, remove obstacles, manage risks, and ensure that ambitious technical goals are achieved.

What you'll do

• Lead complex semiconductor hardware development programs from concept through production release
• Drive execution across analog IP, digital IP, SoC integration, verification, validation, and system engineering
• Align multidisciplinary teams spanning design, verification, validation, software, product engineering, operations, and product management
• Own program planning, schedules, budgets, staffing, milestones, and critical technical dependencies
• Create transparency, drive fact-based decisions, and proactively manage risks and issues
• Ensure compliance with automotive, functional safety, security, and quality requirements
• Build strong partnerships with internal stakeholders, customers, suppliers, and executive leadership
• Represent hardware development in cross-functional governance and executive reviews
• Continuously raise the bar for engineering execution and program management excellence across NXP

Who you are

• A collaborative leader with a strong sense of ownership, accountability, and integrity
• Proven track record delivering complex, multi-disciplinary, multi-site semiconductor development programs (10-15 years of experience)
• Strong technical foundation in hardware design, validation, product engineering, or test engineeringExperience with complex mixed-signal, analog, RF/mmWave, radar, wireless, or automotive products is a must have
• Deep understanding of the semiconductor development lifecycle, from concept and architecture to qualification, ramp-up, and production
• Comfortable engaging in technical deep dives while maintaining a clear end-to-end system perspective
• Strong experience collaborating across hardware, software, test, product engineering, operations, and product line organizations
• Familiar with automotive development processes, functional safety, and quality-driven execution
• Determined, resilient, and unstoppable in removing barriers and driving programs to successful outcomes
• Thrives in global environments and enjoys working across cultures, organizations, and geographies

Closing statement

You are more than a program manager. You are the technical execution leader who brings together people, plans, and technology to deliver world-class semiconductor products. Through ownership, collaboration, and relentless focus on execution, you help teams achieve what others consider impossible.
