We are hiring a Principal System Power Management and Performance Architect who operates at the ambiguous boundary where workload behavior, silicon capabilities, firmware policies, and platform constraints collide, and who turns that ambiguity into architecture that survives across multiple silicon generations. SCG scope spans architecture, design, software, operations, platforms, and productization.

Responsibilities

  • The work here is rarely well-defined when it arrives. You will be given problems that appear to be performance gaps or power anomalies and encouraged to build a framework for solving them, not just tackle a single instance.
  • Define the multi-generation roadmap for system-level power and performance features, grounded in prototyping, use-case analysis, and cost/benefit trade-offs across segments. You will decide what problems are worth solving and why.
  • Own the architecture and integration strategy for HSIO power management, DVFS, P-states, and low-power features. Your decisions improve product performance, power, and reliability across product lines — not just the current program.
  • Lead system-level boot and IST architecture defining how power and clock domains initialize, sequence, and recover across complex multi-IP systems where the interaction space is large and the failure modes matter.
  • Drive power management strategy at datacenter scale, including rack-level power telemetry and platform state coordination in high-performance environments.
  • Identify and redesign system-level processes that break under new product requirements—boot/reset flows, low-power entry/exit sequences, and control-system policies across IPs. When a prior design no longer holds, you diagnose why and architect what comes next.
  • Serve as the multi-functional technical authority across architecture, ASIC, board/platform, and firmware teams. You improve the power-performance trade-offs by influencing decisions made by teams you do not control.
  • What We Need to See
  • We are calibrating for candidates who can carry ambiguous product-level power and performance problems from concept through silicon correlation to release trade-off, and who can show the work!
  • BS or MS in EE/CE, or equivalent experience proven through the work itself
