System Software Manager - Power Profiling and Infrastructure

Job Title

System Software Manager - Power Profiling and Infrastructure

Role Summary

Manage and scale a cross-site team responsible for power measurement, profiling infrastructure, and regression farms that validate power and performance-per-watt across discrete GPU and data-center platforms.

Own lab operations, measurement methodology, and the infrastructure that produces defensible power data used for release decisions and OEM qualification.

Experience Level

Senior level. The posting requests 8+ years of overall industry experience with 5+ years of engineering management experience.

Responsibilities

The manager will lead people and programs to deliver power measurement, qualification, and infrastructure across product lifecycles and sites.

• Lead, grow, and mentor a distributed power and infrastructure engineering team across Pune and Bangalore; set roadmaps and ownership.
• Drive power profiling across the product lifecycle: pre-silicon engagement, power target qualification, regression monitoring, battery-life validation, and release qualification.
• Own and operate a temperature-controlled, instrumented measurement lab across two sites: DUT fleet management, board procurement, instrumentation, DAQ, and capacity planning.
• Define measurability requirements from pre-silicon through production: instrumentation, rail maps, sensors, DAQ adapters, telemetry, and measurement prerequisites; escalate when needed.
• Quantify and attribute power gaps, lead root-cause analysis, coordinate fixes with software and hardware owners, and deliver qualification data for go/no-go decisions.
• Collaborate with OEMs and external software partners to align methodology, co-engineer battery-life targets, and consolidate bug/analysis streams.
• Own the team's tooling and compliance deliverables: profiling framework, analytics dashboards, automated regression farms, and energy-regulation evidence.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience.

• 8+ years of industry experience.
• 5+ years of engineering management experience delivering complex software and infrastructure across distributed teams.
• Deep knowledge of power systems, computer architecture, and SoC/platform power with hands-on experience in power measurement, analysis, or power-stack debugging.
• Experience running or closely supporting a hardware measurement lab (instrumentation, device fleet, logistics).
• Proven ability to engage across program lifecycles from pre-silicon modeling through bring-up, qualification, and sustaining.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for cross-team, partner, OEM, and executive interactions.
• Commitment to measurement quality and producing defensible data for product decisions.

Nice-to-have (standout) experience.

• Hands-on DAQ-based rail capture, on-board sensor validation, or telemetry-driven regression triage.
• Knowledge of Windows on Arm or client SoC battery-life methodology and Modern Standby measurement.
• Experience in silicon bring-up power profiling (firmware sensor validation, first-power baselines).
• Background building power regression infrastructure or large-scale automated test/analysis pipelines.
• Experience applying AI/agentic workflows to lab automation, failure triage, or reporting.
• History of cross-company lab convergence and shared tooling between multiple validation labs.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (the posting specifies BS or MS). The posting pairs this education expectation with 8+ years of industry experience.
