Senior Power and Thermal Architect

What you'll do

• Scout emerging power and thermal co-design ideas and assess their performance, power, reliability, schedule, and cost potential.
• Lead end-to-end co-design and align architecture, VLSI, software, platform, packaging, and operations teams to deliver selected technologies.
• Maintain an innovation pipeline and brief leadership on candidate ideas, productization status, decision gates, and product axes.

What they ask for

• BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ years in system-level power, thermal, or related architecture, with deep expertise in at least one specified area.
• External technical recognition through premier publications, patents, or industry standards contributions, and active contributions to external technical communities.
• Track record of taking research-grade ideas through system co-design into measurable product impact; demonstrated ability to align teams without direct reporting authority.

Nice to have

• PhD or equivalent experience with sustained research contributions after entering industry.
• Machine learning or data-driven techniques applied to power, thermal modeling, or design-space exploration; system reliability and variability; or emerging memory technologies such as advanced HBM and stacked memory.
