Technical Program Manager – ASIC & High-Speed Interfaces

in Israel.

Meet the Team

Join the Cisco Silicon One Program Management team and help drive the development of next-generation networking silicon and high-speed interface technologies. Our Program Managers work closely with ASIC, Silicon Engineering, Architecture, Software, Hardware Systems, Sourcing & Operations, and external partners throughout the full product development lifecycle. You will work in a highly collaborative, global environment, driving complex cross-functional programs from concept through silicon development, validation, and production.

Your Impact

As a Technical Program Manager, you will lead complex ASIC and IP programs, ensuring alignment across technical teams, schedules, dependencies, and business priorities. You will combine strong technical understanding with hands-on program management to identify risks early, drive execution, and ensure successful delivery from concept to production. In this role, you will:

• Lead cross-functional ASIC and high-speed interface programs across Silicon Engineering, Architecture, Platform, Software, Hardware Systems, Sourcing & Operations, and external vendors.
• Drive ASIC and subsystem development throughout the full lifecycle, from concept and architecture through design, fabrication, validation, and production.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to track milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and program commitments.
• Identify technical, schedule, and integration risks early, drive mitigation plans, and escalate issues when needed.
• Apply strong technical judgment to assess issues, understand their program impact, and drive timely resolution.
• Coordinate across Software, Hardware, and Architecture teams to ensure product requirements and technical constraints are aligned.
• Independently manage complex programs with minimal supervision, maintaining execution against key milestones and timelines.
• Drive process improvements across teams to improve collaboration, execution, and operational efficiency.
• Partner with Product Management and Architecture to ensure successful delivery of high-quality ASIC and system solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in ASIC development, with 3+ years of experience in Program Management, Technical Program Management, or Engineering Management.
• Strong understanding of the ASIC development lifecycle, including architecture, micro-architecture, RTL, synthesis, functional verification, and physical design.
• Proven ability to lead complex technical programs and manage both technical details and the broader program picture.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated ownership, execution focus, and ability to work independently.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with pre-silicon validation, including emulation or FPGA, and post-silicon validation.
• Experience with networking technologies and concepts.
• Experience with high-speed and/or analog interfaces.
• Familiarity with formal verification and emulation tools.
• Experience working with globally distributed engineering teams and external vendors.
• Strong strategic planning and problem-solving skills with a strong focus on execution.
