Senior Power Architect, SoC Power and Thermal Management SW joins the Client Platform group to lead technical architecture and implementation of power and thermal control software modules for next-generation platforms. This role involves managing end-to-end software goals across the full stack, including coordination with firmware, kernel, driver, and OEM teams. The candidate will perform root cause analysis on complex issues, define corrective actions, and serve as the primary technical interface for SoC partners to align on architecture decisions. Key responsibilities include driving power limits, DVFS, C-states, and power gating while managing program risks. Required skills include proficiency in C, deep knowledge of operating system internals, device drivers, and real-time embedded OS. The role addresses critical energy optimization and cooling solutions for sophisticated SoC-based platforms from pre-silicon architecture through post-launch productization.
