TL;DR · Server Production Definition Lead

As a Server Production Definition Lead, you will serve as a technical, hands-on engineer focused on Datacenter Server product power chars, SLT charz, and performance attainment. You will collaborate with silicon, power architect, and pre-si performance teams to meet targets during the pre-silicon phase while providing solutions for performance improvements. Your daily responsibilities include driving PMM feature definition, optimizing voltage stackup methodology with manufacturing teams, and managing post-silicon performance for server product OPNs. You will also develop validation infrastructure involving software, hardware, and automation environments to debug power and performance issues at the SoC and system levels. The role requires expertise in x86 microprocessor architecture, PCIe, memory, and Linux or Windows Server operating systems. Required technical skills include proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl to support complex server platform optimizations.

What you'll do

  • Coordinate with silicon and power architects to meet performance targets during the pre-silicon phase.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to optimize SLT charge and voltage stackup methodologies.
  • Define and optimize key performance-related Power Management Mode (PMM) features.
  • Manage post-silicon power and SLT charge activities for server products.
  • Ensure performance attainment for server product Open Product Notices (OPNs).
  • Lead post-silicon and customer debug efforts to identify root causes of power and performance issues.
  • Develop hardware, software, and automation infrastructure for post-silicon validation.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree or higher in Electrical/Computer Engineering.
  • Several years of commercial server or Data Center experience in power and performance related areas.
  • Strong verbal and written English communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a high demand, fast paced environment with real-time problem solving and critical thinking.
  • Knowledge of computer hardware architecture (CPU/APU, x86, pcie, memory, bus logic) and software architecture (preferred).
  • Experience with CPU SLT charz, voltage stackup, and server product performance optimization (preferred).
  • Knowledge of power management feature enablement, modern x86 microprocessor architecture, and Server platform architecture (preferred).
  • Familiarity with programming/scripting languages (C/C++, Python, Perl) and working knowledge of Server OSes (Linux, Windows Server) (preferred).
