## Description

## About Anthropic

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. They want AI to be safe and beneficial for users and society.

## About the role

Anthropic is building custom silicon for Claude. The hardware models run on is a direct lever on capability, cost, and reliability. They're looking for a Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end execution of silicon, from architecture definition through tapeout, first-silicon bring-up, and production ramp.

You'll work alongside domain experts across front-end design, verification, physical design, DFT, analog/mixed-signal, foundry, and packaging. You'll drive a portfolio of external engagements , ASIC design services, IP vendors, foundry, and OSAT.

## Key responsibilities

- Own the integrated silicon program plan , architecture closure, RTL freeze, DV milestones, IP delivery, PD closure, DFT, tapeout, and post-silicon bring-up.

- Drive external partner execution across ASIC design partners, IP vendors, foundry, and packaging/test.

- Run technology and IP selection as a program: track candidate vendors and options, drive evaluations to a decision, and land build/buy/license calls with engineering leadership.

- Build execution mechanisms a silicon team needs , milestone definitions, risk and dependency tracking, design reviews, release management, exec reporting.

- Manage the interface between silicon and its consumers: hardware systems for package/board/bring-up, and inference/kernels/compiler teams for hardware-software co-design.

- Own the post-silicon program , bring-up planning, ATE/test handoff, sample distribution, validation, and the path to production readiness.

- Develop and share AI-assisted approaches to program management.

## Minimum qualifications

- 8+ years in silicon/SoC program management, chip lead, or equivalent role that owned a chip schedule end-to-end.

- Direct ownership of at least one program that taped out and reached production.

- Working technical fluency across the silicon lifecycle , front-end, DV, PD, DFT, foundry, packaging.

- Experience running external silicon partners , ASIC houses, IP vendors, foundry, or OSAT.

- Track record of building program mechanisms from scratch on an ambiguous, fast-moving effort.

- Strong written communication , plans, reviews, and exec updates.

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience on ML accelerators, high-performance compute, networking, or large, high-bandwidth SoCs at advanced process nodes.

- Experience on a first-generation or early silicon program.

- Experience with both partner-executed and fully in-house programs.

- Prior hands-on engineering background in one or more silicon domains.

- Familiarity with the chip-package-system interface and co-design with a hardware systems team.

- Experience with hardware-software co-design programs.

## Logistics

- Annual Salary: $365,000-$435,000 USD

- Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, staff are expected to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time.

- Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas.

## Benefits

Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space.
