<p><strong>Scope</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the Senior Software Program Manager, you will lead the planning, coordination, and execution of software development programs for&nbsp;Ambiq's&nbsp;AmbiqSuite&nbsp;SDK across current and next-generation ARM Cortex-M&nbsp;based SoCs. You will work closely with software and hardware engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle—from pre-silicon planning through silicon bring-up,&nbsp;production&nbsp;software releases, and long-term maintenance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Working with software architects, engineering managers, and technical leads, you will develop realistic execution plans,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;dependencies&nbsp;and resource constraints, track progress against milestones, and proactively manage program risks. Success in this role requires&nbsp;strong&nbsp;technical understanding of embedded software development, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate engineering discussions into executable project plans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>You will collaborate across software, architecture, RTL design, design verification, validation, applications&nbsp;engineering, and product management teams&nbsp;across multiple geographies.&nbsp;You will help define priorities,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;risks, track progress, and&nbsp;provide&nbsp;data-driven insights that enable&nbsp;timely&nbsp;decision-making. You will serve as a technical leader and trusted partner, championing software&nbsp;development best practices, quality metrics, and continuous process improvement to help deliver world-class software solutions to our customers.&nbsp;</p>
