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 senior 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.
