- 職務内容
- As a Semiconductor R&D Program Manager (Shuttle Captain / Shuttle Program Manager), you will manage the planning, development, and execution of R&D shuttles and testchips that are critical for advanced technology development at the 2nm and beyond nodes. You will serve as the central coordinator across R&D, design enablement, foundry operations, and ecosystem partners to ensure shuttle runs and testchip programs meet aggressive schedules, achieve learning objectives, and support technology qualification.
This role requires both strong technical expertise in semiconductor design, process technologies and robust program management skills to lead complex, multi-site projects in fast-paced environments.
Key Responsibilities;
- Define scope, objectives, and timelines for R&D shuttle runs and technology development test chips.
- Prioritize test structures, IP blocks, and PDK validation vehicles in alignment with process and device development milestones.
- Act as the single point of contact (“Shuttle Captain”) for all stakeholders.
- Manage schedules, resources, and risks to ensure timely shuttle tape-outs.
- Lead and chair reviews for design readiness, milestone adherence, and risk mitigation.
- Drive integration of foundation IP, SRAM splits, reliability macros, and qualification structures.
- Ensure DRC/LVS, timing, DFT, and tape-out sign-off criteria are fully met across all participating teams and partners.
- Support debug and silicon learning from shuttle results.
- Partner with EDA vendors and design ecosystem partners to ensure production-ready flows.
- Collaborate with reliability, yield, and device engineering teams to incorporate critical test structures.
- Identify and mitigate risks in shuttle execution.
- Maintain quality standards for design data, documentation, and post-silicon reporting. - 応募資格/応募条件
