Senior Project Manager

• Own engineering programs end-to-end — you're accountable for delivery, not just oversight — planning and driving multiple projects from kickoff to completion while balancing scope, timeline and resources.

• Define and continuously improve our project management processes, tools and reporting, capturing lessons learned to make every program faster and more predictable than the last.

• Track milestones, dependencies and budgets — forecasting costs, surfacing risks early and driving them to closure with mitigation plans, not just status updates.

• Own all project deliverables, making sure every output and report is accurate, complete and submitted on time.

• Define and present new projects together with the technical team and budget owners, translating technical scope into clear plans, timelines and budgets.

• Run weekly meetings with the engineering teams to track progress, unblock issues and keep every project on course.

• Own project audits — ensuring each project stays on track both technically and economically, and that all requirements, costs and reporting obligations are met.

• Lead project reviews and keep stakeholders aligned, communicating progress, risks and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences — including leadership, customers, and external partners such as government bodies and funding agencies.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience as a Senior Project Manager on complex, multi-team technical projects.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering, Computer Science, Business or a related field.

• Deep expertise in PM methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall or hybrid) and hands-on mastery of PM tools (Jira, Confluence, MS Project or similar).

• Strong track record of defining PM processes and managing project budgets.

• Excellent planning, risk-management and communication skills, with the ability to keep many moving parts on track and thrive under ambitious deadlines.

• Fluent English (working language); Spanish is a plus.

Nice to have

• Background in the semiconductor, electronics or hardware IP sector (ideal, but not mandatory).

• Familiarity with the silicon design lifecycle (RTL, verification, physical design, firmware, tape-out, bring-up) and industry standards (RISC-V, AMBA, PCIe/CXL).

• Experience managing publicly-funded or grant programs (e.g., EU or national funding) and their reporting and compliance requirements.

• Experience coordinating across geo-distributed teams and external partners.

• PM certification (PMP, PRINCE2, Certified ScrumMaster or similar).
