Principal Duties and Responsibilities:
• Leverages expert knowledge of computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, circuits, and/or physical design to influence and oversee the development and verification of high performance and low power CPU designs.
• Oversees the identification and solutions of highly complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.
• Collaborates with critical stakeholders to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities, etc.) in order to accomplish product goals.
• Determines, influences, and oversees guidelines and expectations for the evaluation if the design process from conceptualization to productization (i.e., architecture definition, feasibility, pre-silicon design and verification, and post-silicon validation) that meet customer and industry standards.
• Sets guidelines for writing detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details, etc.) for CPU designs.
Level of Responsibility:
• Provides supervision to other supervisors/managers who are direct reports.
• Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey highly complex and/or detailed information. May require strong negotiation and influence with large groups or high-level constituents.
• Develops and administers budgets, schedules, and performance standards for functional area within the prescribed budgetary objectives of the department.
• Has influence over the formulation and achievement of long-term business plans and objectives.
• Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
