Sr. Director, Client System Power Delivery Architecture

at  Intel

JOB DESCRIPTION

About Client Platform and Silicon Architecture:
We create world-changing technology that improves the life of every person on the planet. Intel delivers silicon by applying reach, scale, and resources to deliver bold goals. And we’re not doing it alone: we work with our customers and galvanize the industry for positive impact.
Our small team of accomplished researchers and architects shape the global PC ecosystem everyday - setting the standards, norms, and infrastructure for the entire client ecosystem. We begin with research by exploring the main questions: how people interact with technology, how it can enhance people’s lives, and what are the most compelling experiences. Next, we translate those experiences into a set of technical requirements and capabilities: IPs, SoCs, Software, Packaging and Platform. Finally, we have the privilege of leading teams from across Intel to bring these technologies to market with our advanced factories, our partners, and customers from across the world selling hundreds of millions of units every year.
If you love to innovate, influence the direction of the PC industry, and help make the PC an indispensable tool for work, education, and creation - then this is the team for you. You will work alongside and learn from industry experts including Intel Fellows and Principal Engineers. The work is challenging. No two days will be the same. Architecting a solution to a real user problem and then seeing in their hands is an amazingly rewarding experience.
About the Role and Key Responsibilities:

The Client Systems Architecture and Engineering team is seeking a skilled technical director to lead a senior team of power architects that create compelling PD solutions for IA silicon, customers and suppliers. Key responsibilities include the following:

• Pathfinding
• Co-creator of Next gen value propositions, features, functions, performance, size, and cost with IA and platform architects
• Next gen PD architectures
• Next gen process, package, and board requirements. Closed with selection of each.
• Models, simulations for power delivery elements and paths
• Near IA solution
• Definitions - Product technical requirements, including PD architecture
• Participation in development with design and test teams to create and maintain product technical specifications, manage changes during development
• Evaluation of solutions to verify delivers to requirements
• Could include definition and development of tools to aid development team
• Motherboard / CPU / Silver Box Power solutions
• Definition - Product technical requirements, could include PD architecture
• Participation in development with customers and suppliers, manage changes during development
• Evaluation of solutions to some level in support of customer and suppliers
• Could include definition and development of tools to aid customers and suppliers

This team is comprised of experienced technical contributors that are deep experts in their field, with extensive industry contacts. The candidate will lead the team with clear deliverables, metrics, and milestone management while also supporting career growth for the team members. This role will include deep engagement across architecture, marketing, validation, OEM, and with our operation system partners teams to ensure Intel’s segmented platforms deliver leadership experiences in OEM client systems at scale.

An ideal candidate for this role can demonstrate how they have accomplished the following:

• Apply a breadth of knowledge across modelling and simulation including parasitic extraction and thermal simulation to path find and define requirements.
• Customer and supplier understanding as well as engagement to define customer and supply adoption criteria.
• Drive supply base to create evaluation methods, tools.
• Leveraged matrixed capabilities across a global workforce to diagnose and find short-term and long-term hardware and/or software solutions to complex system optimization challenges.
• Defined individual and team key results that align to organization objectives while taking business, customer and product priorities into consideration.
• Developing technologists to grow skill depth and breadth in response to organizational needs.
• Synthesized solutions to complex problems into clear messages and proposals presented to senior technical leaders and management.
• Exceptional and demonstrated experience using dashboards and program tracking tools to drive both the quality and due dates of complex deliverables and as a way to effectively communicate status to management and other stakeholders.

QUALIFICATIONS
