TL;DR · Server Postsilicon Project Engineer

The Server Postsilicon Project Engineer joins the CPU Engineering group to serve as a technical execution leader for complex server products. This role involves driving post-silicon activities from initial power-on through commercialization, ensuring products meet rigorous internal and external KPIs. Key responsibilities include developing an intimate understanding of product architecture, guiding silicon validation plans, and managing issue triage across matrixed organizations. The engineer will coordinate with IP and SoC validation, software, PPT, product test, and customer engineering teams to resolve technical risks and blockers. Required expertise includes experience with CPU, Fabric, PCIe, CXL, or memory systems, as well as ATE and SLT testing. The role focuses on optimizing products for performance, power, and thermal targets within the data-center server product space.

What you'll do

  • Drive post-silicon execution and technical oversight for complex server products from power-on through commercialization.
  • Develop and guide silicon validation plans to meet architecture design intent and performance, power, and thermal targets.
  • Define day-0 and week-by-week execution plans for milestones including bring-up, sampling, and production readiness.
  • Lead cross-functional issue triage and problem resolution with IP, SoC, software, and product test teams.
  • Coordinate the prioritization, tracking, and closure of silicon issues while managing technical risks and dependencies.
  • Communicate technical status, risks, and required actions to leadership and stakeholders to ensure project alignment.
  • Identify process gaps and implement improvements to strengthen post-silicon execution and meet product KPIs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of relevant engineering experience.
  • 10+ years of experience in silicon, systems, hardware, or server product development or commercialization (preferred).
  • 15+ years of experience in silicon, systems, hardware, or server product development (preferred).
  • 5+ years in a technical leadership role (preferred).
  • Experience in post-silicon technical execution driving data-center projects from power-on through commercialization (preferred).
  • Experience driving commercialization of two or more CPU server products from power-on through production release (preferred).
