Achieve.\r\nIf that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.\r\nThis role will be on-site 5 days a week in NW Austin.\r\nScope\r\nAs the Senior Software Program Manager, you will lead the planning, coordination, and execution of software development programs for Ambiq's AmbiqSuite SDK across current and next-generation ARM Cortex-M based SoCs. You will work closely with software and hardware engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle—from pre-silicon planning through silicon bring-up, production software releases, and long-term maintenance.\r\nWorking with software architects, engineering managers, and technical leads, you will develop realistic execution plans, identify dependencies and resource constraints, track progress against milestones, and proactively manage program risks. Success in this role requires strong technical understanding of embedded software development, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate engineering discussions into executable project plans.\r\nYou will collaborate across software, architecture, RTL design, design verification, validation, application engineering, and product management teams across multiple geographies. You will help define priorities, identify risks, track progress, and provide data-driven insights that enable timely decision-making. You will serve as a technical leader and trusted partner, championing software development best practices, quality metrics, and continuous process improvement to help deliver world-class software solutions to our customers.\r\nResponsibilities\r\nLead planning, scheduling, and execution of multiple embedded software development programs from pre-silicon development through production releases.\r\nDevelop integrated project plans by working directly with engineering teams to estimate effort, identify dependencies, and define realistic milestones.\r\nTrack execution across multiple projects, proactively identify scheduler risks, resource constraints, and technical dependencies.\r\nPartner with design engineering and management to prioritize work, balance resources across programs, and recommend trade-offs when schedules or staffing change.\r\nCoordinate software activities with SoC architecture, RTL design, design verification, validation, application engineering, product management, and marketing teams.\r\nDrive cross-functional communication, issue resolution, and timely escalation of program risks.\r\nMonitor software quality metrics, defect trends, release readiness, and execution health throughout the development lifecycle.\r\nDevelop program dashboards and executive status reports that provide clear visibility into schedules, risks, dependencies, and resource utilization.\r\nSupport software release planning, customer commitments, and product launch activities.\r\nQualifications\r\nBachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred.\r\n10+ years of technical program management or engineering leadership experience in embedded software within semiconductor or consumer electronics development.\r\nStrong understanding of embedded software development practices, software development lifecycles, and Agile methodologies.\r\nExperience developing integrated project schedules from engineering estimates and managing execution across multiple concurrent programs.\r\nWorking knowledge of software development workflows, CI/CD systems, defect tracking, release management, and project management tools.\r\nAbility to communicate effectively with software developers and technical leaders and to translate technical discussions into actionable project plans.\r\nExperience coordinating with cross-functional engineering teams including software, RTL design, architecture, design verification, validation, and application engineering.\r\nSolid understanding of embedded hardware platforms and board-level system design, sufficient to analyze hardware/software dependencies and support bring-up activities.\r\nExcellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to influence decisions across engineering and executive leadership.\r\nExperience with ARM Cortex-M–based embedded systems, RTOS environments, SDK development, or semiconductor product development is highly desirable.\r\nExperience using AI-assisted software development tools and LLMs to improve engineering productivity is a plus.\r\nMust be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer.
