Responsibilities

Manage technical direction, execution, and team development while improving engineering practices and delivery quality.

• Lead and develop a team delivering graphics system software and advancing compute graphics.
• Own team strategy, roadmaps, priorities, quality, and delivery commitments.
• Drive execution across GPU and SoC enablement, Vulkan and OpenGL drivers, CUDA-based graphics, platform integration, and production releases.
• Collaborate with GPU architecture, hardware, research, and platform teams on technical direction and hardware/software co-design.
• Mentor engineers and technical leaders; recruit and develop talent.
• Improve development, validation, and support through better engineering practices, infrastructure, and AI-assisted/agentic workflows.

Requirements

Must-have technical and leadership qualifications. (Education summarized below.)

• 10+ years experience in graphics, GPU, or platform engineering.
• 4+ years managing and delivering software engineering teams and production systems.
• Strong understanding of GPU architecture, graphics and compute pipelines, and how software interacts with hardware.
• Deep expertise in graphics system software: drivers, GPU/SoC enablement, shader infrastructure, or graphics/compute APIs.
• Proven ability to set technical direction, establish team expertise, and drive measurable improvements in engineering productivity and software quality, including use of agentic development techniques.
• Strong technical judgment, communication, and organizational skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience shipping production graphics drivers or runtimes for Vulkan, OpenGL, or CUDA-based graphics, or contributing to graphics API design.
• Track record of advancing a graphics technology from early development into production use.
• Experience with pre-silicon validation and GPU or SoC bring-up.
• Functional safety experience for automotive or safety-critical systems (ISO 26262, ASIL, traceability, verification evidence).
• Proven track record of delivering engineering programs on schedule and at high quality, including using AI to strengthen planning and delivery.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. The posting explicitly allows equivalent experience in place of a degree.
