Job Overview

Arm is seeking a Technical Program Manager, Verification & Validation to support front-end verification and pre-silicon validation execution across SoC development programs. This role is program management–focused, emphasizing planning support, tracking, coordination, reporting, and follow-through, and is well suited for a TPM developing depth in complex SoC environments.

The Technical Program Manager works closely with worldwide Verification & Validation engineering leadership, SoC TPMs, and cross-functional partners to help maintain execution visibility and alignment across programs. The role acts as a day-to-day execution and organization partner, ensuring verification and validation activities are well tracked, issues are surfaced early, and information flows clearly to leadership.

• Support design verification and pre-silicon validation execution across multiple SoC programs through strong program management fundamentals
• Assist worldwide VnV leadership by providing organized execution visibility, consolidated status, and risk tracking across programs
• Maintain and update verification and validation schedules, trackers, and dashboards, using tools such as Microsoft Project and shared tracking systems
• Track verification and validation deliverables, achievements, dependencies, and resource commitments, raising issues as needed
• Coordinate with VnV functional teams to ensure agreed verification and validation flows are followed
• Support pre-silicon validation activities, including:
  • Tracking availability and readiness of emulation and FPGA platforms
  • Coordinating generation and availability of models used for software, performance, and power validation
• Collect, organize, and report verification and validation metrics, and help validate that execution data is accurate, consistent, and reflects actual program health
• Prepare clear, concise status updates and materials for leadership reviews and check-ins
• Communicate clear asks, priorities, and follow-ups to functional teams to support execution and unblock issues
• Partner with RTL TPMs, SoC TPMs, and other functional TPMs to support alignment on achievements, handoffs, and dependencies
• Organize and maintain clean, well-structured program documentation and repositories
• Support follow-up and closure of open actions, risks, and issues across verification and validation activities

• Experience in program coordination, project management, or early-career technical program management roles
• Proficiency in Data Analysis tools and ability to distill data and streamlining processes with the goal of preventing operational issues
• Solid program management fundamentals, including planning support, tracking, reporting, and follow-through
• Proficiency with program management tools, such as Microsoft Project, trackers, and shared dashboards
• Familiarity with SoC verification and validation flows, including pre-silicon validation concepts (emulation, FPGA, models)
• Ability to understand execution data well enough to sanity-check metrics and status
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to:
  • Provide concise, accurate updates upward
  • Communicate clear needs and follow-ups to functional teams
  • Ability to operate effectively in a supporting role within a matrixed, global organization

• Experience organizing and maintaining execution data to ensure accuracy, currency, and reliability
• Ability to provide clear access to leadership on status, risks, and progress
• Strong skills in maintaining schedules, trackers, and documentation in a clear and consumable format
• Experience tracking emulation and FPGA readiness for software, performance, and power validation activities
• Demonstrated ability to drive actions, manage issues and dependencies, and follow items through to closure
• Proven experience coordinating across functional teams with clear communication and timely follow-up
