About the job

About the Role

Velocity, AllianceATE's flagship EDA platform, is a best-in-class solution for design-to-test automation. For many customers, converting design-to-test programs requires weeks of developing custom code and tools – but not with Velocity. See faster validation and deployment with Velocity.

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Technical Program Manager to help drive customer engagements and engineering initiatives across the AllianceATE organization.

Working closely with customers, application engineers, software developers, and leadership, this individual will coordinate technical projects, drive follow-through on customer commitments, identify risks and obstacles, and help ensure successful execution across multiple concurrent priorities.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with highly technical teams, and can drive alignment and execution across multiple stakeholders without direct authority.

Key Responsibilities

Lead coordination and execution of customer-facing projects involving technical issue resolution, software enhancements, workflow improvements, and custom engineering solutions.

Partner with customers and engineering teams to understand priorities, align on objectives, and drive successful outcomes.

Create and maintain project plans, schedules, dependencies, risks, and action items to help teams achieve project milestones and customer commitments.

Facilitate customer meetings, technical reviews, and cross-functional discussions while ensuring clear ownership and follow-through.

Proactively identify obstacles, resource constraints, and execution risks, and drive appropriate escalation and resolution.

Communicate concise project status, risks, decisions, and required actions to engineering leadership and key stakeholders.

Maintain visibility across multiple concurrent customer engagements and internal initiatives.

Help improve project management practices, operating rhythms, and execution processes as the organization continues to grow.
