# Software Technical PM
We're looking for a Software Technical PM to own the day-to-day planning, execution management, and coordination of complex software development projects at Axelera AI. Working across multiple software sub-teams (Runtime, ML, Compiler, Backend, SWD, Apps), the Software Technical PM is responsible for turning high-level project objectives into detailed execution plans, ensuring every task and dependency has a named technical owner, driving those plans through to delivery, and proactively surfacing cross-team risks and roadblocks.
This is a hands-on execution management role focused on building plans with engineers, tracking progress at the task level, running integration and coordination cadences, ensuring technical ownership is assigned and visible, making informed trade-off recommendations, and ensuring cross-team dependencies are managed.
## Key Responsibilities
- End-to-end execution management of assigned complex software projects from planning through delivery, working across multiple software sub-teams simultaneously
- Build and maintain detailed project plans at the task and dependency level, working directly with engineering sub-team leads to establish realistic estimates, identify dependencies, and define integration milestones
- Drive the planning and coordination of the integration process for assigned projects, defining integration strategy and escalating when tasks lack clear technical ownership
- Ensure explicit definition-of-done criteria are established for each project phase and track progress against agreed criteria
- Run daily or appropriate-cadence coordination standups for assigned projects, ensuring status is communicated publicly and blockers are identified and resolved
- Track estimation accuracy and delivery predictability at the task level
- Identify single-person critical path dependencies and escalate to engineering leads
- Prepare and maintain project-level status views, risk registers, and decision logs
- Contribute to programme-level process improvements based on lessons learned
- Work with the Software Program Manager to ensure assigned project plans are aligned with overall roadmap and portfolio priorities
