Anticipates, identifies, and solves highly complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.
Collaborates with high‑level cross‑functional stakeholders to define requirements, specifications, and trade‑offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities, etc.) in order to accomplish product goals.
Evaluates all aspects of the design process from conceptualization to productization (i.e., architecture definition, feasibility, pre‑silicon design and verification, and post‑silicon validation) that meet customer and industry standards.
Writes detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details, etc.) for highly complex CPU designs; reviews documentation of experienced engineers.
Level of Responsibility
Provides supervision to direct reports.
Decision‑making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group.
Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
