The Principal Chipset Project Engineer – Thermal/Limits for Personal Computer (PC) joins the Compute Chipset Project Engineering team to lead thermal and limits strategy across the compute product portfolio from concept to commercialization. This role involves defining system thermal budgets, developing methodologies and tools to predict thermal behavior, and modeling thermally constrained performance. The engineer will influence designs, plan features, tune system limits, and provide customer guidance on thermal targets. Key responsibilities include extracting maximum performance from systems with fixed product constraints and overseeing the resolution of all thermal issues. The position requires expertise in semiconductor product development, thermal systems, and system design. The role addresses the technical challenge of balancing high-performance compute capabilities with strict thermal, cost, and size constraints within personal computer hardware.
