Senior Product Manager (Foundry Platforms) in Cambridge

We have an excellent opportunity for a Senior Product Manager to join the Commercial team at Pragmatic Semiconductor. Reporting to the Senior Director - Product Management, this is a key position with responsibility for shaping, owning, and evolving the foundry platform portfolio to align with the company’s strategic objectives and long‑term growth plans. You will focus on defining and scaling differentiated flexible IC technology platforms, process nodes, PDKs, and associated enablement offerings to create a compelling foundry proposition for targeted end markets and customers. You will be comfortable operating at a highly autonomous and strategic level, and will act as a subject matter expert for the foundry platform business: bridging technology, market needs, and commercial strategy.

You will lead portfolio definition beyond individual customer engagements, ensuring the company builds reusable, scalable platforms rather than bespoke solutions. We are looking for candidates with proven semiconductor industry experience, combining deep technical experience alongside experience of both complex products and the ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders. We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to work on hugely exciting technology and really help us accelerate our growth plan. The role will ideally be based in Cambridge, although we are open to considering alternative working options.

• Own and evolve the foundry platform portfolio, defining technology platforms commercial offerings, process capabilities, design enablement, and service offerings aligned to strategic markets and customer segments.
• Translate company strategy into clear platform roadmaps, balancing both internal (IDM business line) customers and external foundry customers driven near‑term revenue opportunities with longer‑term capability investment.
• Ensure platforms are commercially viable, scalable, and differentiated versus alternative technologies.

• Lead the creation of business cases, market opportunity assessments, VoC insights, and competitive intelligence to inform platform investment decisions and roadmap trade‑offs.
• Deeply understand semiconductor and advanced packaging target customers and ecosystems (fabless, system integrators, OEMs, design houses, ecosystem partners, advanced packaging) and their technical, commercial, and time‑to‑market requirements.
• Represent the foundry platform voice internally in platform planning and management, and externally in strategic commercial and joint development engagements.

• Drive the creation of MRDs, PRDs, and platform requirement documents that guide process development, design enablement (PDKs, reference flows), and supporting services.
• Work cross‑functionally with application engineering, design enablement, technology development, operations, sales, and marketing to ensure successful platform execution.
• Frame and communicate platform trade‑offs clearly in terms of business impact, customer value, and return on investment.

• Own the full platform lifecycle, from concept and investment decision through ramp, adoption, and evolution.
• Support key customer engagements where platform definition, roadmap alignment, or escalation is required.
• Ensure feedback from customers and the market continuously feeds back into roadmap refinement and prioritisation.

• Act as an internally recognised subject matter expert for foundry platforms and business models.
• Partner with product marketing on positioning, GTM strategy, launch planning, messaging, and ecosystem narratives for foundry platforms.
• Initiate and lead strategic initiatives that span multiple teams or market areas, often owning problems or opportunities that do not yet have a clear organisational home.
• Influence how the organisation thinks about platform reuse, modularity, and leverage across customer engagements.

Candidates will ideally be educated to Bachelors Degree (or will possess equivalent experience) in Electronics Engineering. Semiconductor industry experience and knowledge is essential.

• Strong experience in product management within semiconductors.
• Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels, translating ambiguity into structured plans.
• Deep understanding of foundry economics, platform reuse, and customer enablement (e.g. process technologies, PDKs, design flows, or manufacturing services).
• Proven track record of leading cross‑functional initiatives and influencing without direct authority.
• Proven ability to operate successfully in fast‑paced scale‑up environments, navigating ambiguity and change.
• Comfortable engaging with senior leadership, customers, and partners on both technical and commercial topics.
• Experience in foundry, platform, or advanced packaging technology (e.g. system in package, high density interconnects) business models.
• Experience in market modelling for business cases and opportunity sizing.
• Knowledge of working with or within semiconductor foundries.
• Knowledge of customer relationship management and sales enablement strategies.
• Experience using CRM systems.
• Expertise in market analysis and competitive intelligence.

Candidates who do not meet every requirement but feel their skills are a good fit for the role are encouraged to apply. Pragmatic Semiconductor is committed to equity, equality, diversity, and inclusion; we strive to welcome everyone and create inclusive teams. We celebrate difference and encourage everyone to be themselves at work. Please let us know if you would like any adjustments to our application and interview process.
