Technical Program Manager

Job Description

Technical Program Manager — Display Silicon (uLED Backplane)

Affirma is looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive execution of uLED backplane silicon programs, from early development through high-volume manufacturing. You'll work across internal Meta teams (uLED, test, packaging, sourcing) and external foundry and silicon vendor partners, translating high-level vendor milestones into task-level schedules, tracking cross-functional dependencies, and ensuring decisions reach every dependent team.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8 years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, or equivalent project management experience in a hardware or silicon development environment (prior experience with Meta can supplement years or types of experience)
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate execution across multiple engineering teams (e.g., silicon, hardware, test, packaging) and translate high-level commitments into actionable schedules with owners and dates
• Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, or foundries
• Exposure to hardware development phases (e.g., prototype, qualification, mass production)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting program status and risk to engineering and cross-functional stakeholders
• Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the discipline to drive decisions from incomplete information and follow through on action items across many stakeholders
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with shifting requirements and tight launch timelines

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting semiconductor programs across foundry, OSAT, or silicon vendor interfaces
• Familiarity with display silicon, uLED, or related electro-optical technologies
• Experience managing programs with multiple external vendors
• Experience working across time zones with international foundry, OSAT, or vendor partners
• Working knowledge of program tracking and milestone reporting tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira) for cross-functional hardware programs
• Experience translating engineering status and risk into briefings for sourcing and engineering leadership
• Experience supporting consumer device programs from prototype validation through mass production

Responsibilities

• Internal Cross-Functional Coordination: Run recurring meetings and program reviews that bring uLED, test, packaging, and sourcing teams into alignment; track decisions, surface dependencies and risks, and resolve gaps before they require escalation
• External Vendor Interface Management: Run recurring meetings and program reviews with external foundry and silicon vendor partners, including joint working sessions, milestone reviews, and face-to-face meetings; drive vendors to execute against Meta-specified requirements, maintain integrated program schedules that bridge Meta's milestones with vendor-committed dates, and surface misalignment early
• Program Tracking and Reporting: Maintain authoritative trackers for program status across internal and external workstreams; produce milestone readouts and decision items for silicon leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
• Risk Management: Maintain a living risk register covering technical execution, vendor delivery risk, IP and confidentiality concerns, and schedule risk; drive mitigation plans with named owners and resolution dates; produce risk summaries for leadership readouts
