Product Compliance & Assurance Manager – Semiconductor / SoC

**Please note this role is only open to candidates currently located in and with working rights in the UK/Germany** Location: Preferably based at one of our UK design centres (Bristol or Cambridge) or in our German design center (Munich). Seniority: Manager. Welcome to Codasip At Codasip, we’re redefining the future of computing. Following a bold strategic pivot toward cyber-resilient semiconductor architectures, we are building next-generation processors and systems where security is embedded at the very core by design, not as an afterthought. As we expand our portfolio of secure, CHERI-enabled technologies and focus on delivering architecture-first security solutions, there has never been a more exciting time to join. We are embarking on clean-sheet designs and expanding the teams of engineers who can establish high-quality working practices as they explore new ground. Be part of a global team shaping the next era of secure computing where innovation, ownership, and impact go hand in hand. The impact you’ll make • Own technical product and process compliance across our semiconductor, SoC, IP, hardware and software products. • Translate automotive, aerospace, defence, safety and security regulatory requirements into engineering activities, compliance plans, evidence and readiness gates. • Perform or direct independent product and process assurance: technical compliance reviews, confirmation reviews, process and readiness assessments. • Ensure credible, traceable compliance evidence and escalate gaps, deviations and residual risks early with clear recommendations. • Develop reusable safety and security concepts that project architects adapt to product-specific designs. • Standardize compliance-related processes, and coach teams, while domain experts retain process ownership. • Directly manage, coach, and grow a team of Product Compliance Engineers. • Represent Codasip on technical product compliance with customers, assessors, auditors, and certification authorities. What You Bring to The Table • 10+ years in automotive, aerospace or defence engineering, including five years in product assurance, certification, or safety- or cybersecurity-related process development. • Strong technical expertise in semiconductor, SoC, ASIC, FPGA, IP, or embedded hardware/software development. • Experience leading technical projects, mentoring engineers and coordinating cross-functional delivery. • Ability to translate standards and customer requirements into engineering practices, compliance evidence and independent assurance activities. • Experience standardising processes, coaching teams and engaging customers, assessors, auditors or certification authorities. • Sound judgment, integrity and clear communication to challenge evidence, influence stakeholders and escalate risks. • A relevant engineering degree and willingness to travel periodically. Preferred • Aerospace or defence development-assurance experience, such as DO-254 or DO-178C. • Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Polarion, Git or equivalent tools. We welcome principal engineers and technical leads moving into their first people-management role. Previous line-management experience is advantageous, not essential. Our UK Design Centers Our UK design centres in Cambridge and Bristol, launched in early 2022, are driving innovation in cutting-edge RISC-V CPU development. We’re designing secure, high-performance processors from scratch – and our customers in safety- and security-critical markets such as aerospace and defence need proof they can trust them. That’s where you come in. As our Product Compliance & Assurance Manager, reporting to the Quality & Compliance Senior Manager, you’ll set the bar for how we demonstrate safety, security and compliance on a brand-new platform – and build the capability to do it at scale. You’ll work with an international team across Europe, partnering with architecture, hardware, software, verification and security experts. If you’re a rigorous, pragmatic assurance professional who wants to shape how next-generation silicon earns trust, we’d love to hear from you. Join us in Cambridge or Bristol and be part of a team redefining what’s possible in CPU design and cyber-resilient semiconductor architectures.
