Job Title

Technical Product Manager - CPU Hardware Program

Role Summary

Lead and coordinate complex CPU silicon and platform programs from development through customer readiness. This role works across architecture, silicon, platform, firmware, validation, performance, operations, and product teams to translate technical priorities into executable plans, track risks and dependencies, and drive decisions to delivery.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Requires substantial experience managing complex hardware and system programs; posting specifies 8+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Manage program planning, risk, and cross-functional coordination to deliver CPU silicon and platform products.

• Drive coordinated progress across CPU silicon and platform programs; track achievements, dependencies, risks, owners, and readiness criteria.
• Collaborate with architecture, silicon, platform, firmware, validation, performance, operations, and product teams to resolve cross-functional dependencies.
• Identify schedule, scope, quality, and readiness risks early and coordinate technical trade-off decisions.
• Translate engineering inputs into program plans, requirements, decision records, risk assessments, and executive updates.
• Coordinate responses to hardware and platform questions from customers, partners, sales, and executives, ensuring commitments align with product requirements and program capacity.
• Establish and maintain traceability between customer commitments, requirements, decisions, and delivery owners as configurations evolve.
• Improve program efficiency via source-of-truth management, dashboards, lightweight automation, and operating mechanisms.

Requirements

Key qualifications and skills required to perform the role effectively.

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management, systems engineering, hardware program management, or similar roles leading complex hardware and software products.
• Working knowledge of server or silicon development, including dependencies across CPU, memory, I/O, firmware, board, system, validation, and manufacturing.
• Proven track record building and driving coordinated technical programs across architecture, engineering, validation, operations, product, and customer-facing teams.
• Ability to identify evidence gaps, dependencies, assumptions, and incomplete implementation plans.
• Strong technical and executive communication skills; experience producing requirements, decision documents, risk assessments, program updates, and customer-facing responses.
• Excellent judgment, organization, and follow-through when operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with senior stakeholders.
• Nice-to-have: experience delivering server CPUs, accelerated computing platforms, rack-scale systems, silicon bring-up, platform qualification, OEM/ODM execution, firmware, validation, or production readiness; history of improving program decision speed or schedule predictability.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
