Scope As the Senior Manager of MCU Software, you will contribute to the execution, quality, and delivery of Ambiq’s AmbiqSuite SDK across current and next-generation ARM Cortex-M–based MCU platforms. This role is responsible for managing the end-to-end software development lifecycle — from architectural implementation through customer deployment — ensuring high-quality, reliable SDK releases aligned with silicon program schedules. This leader works closely with Architecture, Silicon Design, Validation, Applications Engineering, Field Engineering, Marketing, and Sales to coordinate feature development, resolve technical dependencies, and support successful product launches. The Senior Manager serves as a customer advocate to ensure SDK usability, robustness, power efficiency, and performance meet Ambiq’s standards.
The role combines organizational leadership with deep technical engagement in embedded real-time systems. The Senior Manager is accountable for development execution, process discipline, release readiness, and continuous improvement of engineering practices. This position establishes a strong quality culture and ensures consistent, predictable software delivery for Cortex-M–class devices.
