TL;DR · Server Platform Debug Program Lead

The Server Platform Debug Program Lead manages the operating cadence of the Server Platform Debug Steering Forum, where platform, silicon, firmware, and validation teams collaborate to resolve open debug issues. This hands-on technical program role involves tracking execution accuracy across active server programs, holding technical owners accountable for closure plans, and securing necessary hardware resources like system boards, instrumentation, and silicon samples. The successful candidate will identify stalled investigations, manage cross-team dependencies, and report status via dashboards to leadership. Candidates must possess a strong foundation in server platform or SOC debug, including experience with boot failures, signal integrity, memory training, thermal, power sequencing, and firmware issues. Required skills include interpreting logs and failure signatures, coordinating diverse technical leads, and communicating complex technical data to executive audiences while managing global team schedules.

What you'll do

  • Lead the Server Platform Debug Steering Forum by managing agendas, prioritizing issues, and driving technical reviews to closure.
  • Maintain a single source of truth for debug execution including issue inventory, severity, ownership, and expected closure dates.
  • Hold technical owners accountable for root-cause investigations and escalate stalled or circular paths with evidence.
  • Coordinate necessary resources such as hardware availability, lab time, silicon samples, and expert access to maintain momentum.
  • Manage cross-team dependencies across platform, silicon, firmware, and supplier scopes to ensure seamless investigation handoffs.
  • Distinguish technical blockers from resource gaps and route issues to the appropriate decision-makers.
  • Report debug status, burn-down charts, and launch risks to program and engineering leadership via dashboards and summaries.
  • Capture and propagate debug learnings and triage best practices across multiple programs.

What we're looking for

  • Must possess a working foundation in server platform or SOC debug.
  • Ability to interpret logs, failure signatures, and root-cause analyses (preferred).
  • Experience with boot failures, signal integrity, memory training, thermal, power sequencing, or firmware issues (preferred).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to summarize technical status for executive audiences (preferred).
  • Experience running a recurring technical review or triage forum is a strong plus.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering (desired).
