About the role

Responsibilities:
- Own the technical direction for a defined area of the OTPU hardware–software stack (pre‑silicon, post‑silicon, sustainment).
- Translate program priorities into executable plans; break down complex problems and drive delivery with engineering managers.
- Define and enforce engineering principles, interface contracts, and standards (firmware BSPs, validation methodology, interconnect interfaces, BMC design).
- Lead full lifecycle activities: emulation, bring‑up, characterization, post‑silicon debug, production reliability and field issue resolution.
- Make decisive architectural choices in your domain and align cross‑team dependencies through clear technical decisions.
- Raise team capability through code/design reviews, mentoring, and documentation of best practices.

Requirements:
- Proven track record delivering complex hardware–software systems (ASIC bring‑up, validation, firmware, interconnects or BMC platforms).
- Deep hands‑on experience with pre‑silicon emulation, post‑silicon debug, characterization, and sustainment engineering.
- Strong system architecture and engineering judgment; able to define interfaces and validation methodologies.
- Experience with observability, incident management, and maintaining production reliability for hardware systems.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills to influence technical decisions and coordinate with adjacent teams.

Responsibilities

You will lead the technical direction for hardware-software integration across the OTPU stack, from pre-silicon through to production and sustainment. You will partner with the Engineering Manager to define architectural standards and ensure the team delivers robust, maintainable technical solutions.

Requirements

The role requires deep hands-on expertise in ASIC validation, firmware platforms, or interconnect fabrics with a proven track record of shipping complex hardware-software systems. Candidates must possess strong technical judgment and the ability to lead full-lifecycle engineering projects in high-reliability environments.
