Requirements

  • The candidate should have systems-level technical leadership expertise in at least one area and be able to work across architecture, silicon, firmware, software, validation, and performance.
  • The candidate should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, making decisions with incomplete data, and influencing global teams without direct authority.
  • The candidate should communicate risks and tradeoffs clearly to engineering teams and senior leaders.

Responsibilities

  • Own platform validation strategy, execution, feature readiness, and delivery outcomes.
  • Translate product requirements and customer use cases into scalable validation plans.
  • Lead alignment across architecture, hardware, firmware, BIOS, software, validation, performance, and customer engineering.
  • Drive post-silicon bring-up, system debug, test execution, and validation milestones.
  • Define platform configurations, firmware requirements, debug tools, and validation environments.
  • Prioritize defects, lead root-cause analysis, and drive mitigation and resolution plans.
  • Manage technical risks, engineering resources, platform assets, and schedule tradeoffs.
  • Communicate program status, risks, and readiness decisions to senior leadership.
  • Mentor engineers and improve validation coverage, efficiency, and product quality.

Desired Qualifications

  • Leadership of complex system development or post-silicon validation programs.
  • Broad experience across server architecture, silicon, firmware, validation, or performance, with depth in at least one area.
  • Strong understanding of CPU, GPU, memory, I/O, firmware, BIOS, and system-level interactions.
  • Experience with system bring-up, debug, defect tracking, root-cause analysis, and test automation.
  • Experience with Linux, Windows, and hypervisors such as VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams and make sound technical decisions under ambiguity.
  • Strong executive communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience improving validation coverage, execution efficiency, or product quality.
  • A master's degree is preferred.
