Cirrus Logic is seeking a Technical Program Manager to coordinate the planning and execution of software deliveries that enable advanced audio experiences in customer products. This role is ideal for someone who can connect customer schedules, software content, quality expectations, and cross-functional execution into a clear and reliable release plan.
You will work closely with an internal Customer Program Manager, who owns customer schedule alignment, and translate those customer needs into an integrated software release plan. You will map the required software components for each customer delivery, work backward from key customer milestones, and coordinate across software, hardware, test, applications, and support teams to ensure the right features are delivered with the right quality at the right time.
This role requires strong organizational discipline, technical understanding, and excellent communication. The ideal candidate can manage complexity across multiple programs, identify risks early, drive alignment across teams, and keep stakeholders focused on execution.
