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.
