Responsibilities

Define the architecture and multi-year technical roadmap for GPU system software across driver, runtime, firmware-interface, management, observability, and reliability layers.
Set technical priorities and standards for accelerator enablement, compatibility, performance, serviceability, and maintainability.
Own end-to-end integration from architecture and pre-silicon planning through bring-up, qualification, general availability, fleet monitoring, and sustained operation.
Lead cross-functional execution across silicon, firmware, kernel, compiler, library, machine-learning framework, server, network, storage, validation, and production teams.
Resolve system-level tradeoffs involving APIs, resource management, memory and interconnect topology, telemetry, recovery, security, and workload performance.
Contribute hands-on through prototypes, critical-path code, design reviews, performance analysis, and high-severity failure investigations.
Define release and reliability criteria covering qualification, regressions, fault containment, automated repair, and fleet health.
Mentor engineers and communicate technical decisions to specialist and executive audiences.

Deep understanding of accelerator architecture, memory hierarchy, interconnects, operating systems, device management, and production reliability.
Experience coordinating dependencies and technical decisions across multiple engineering teams and organizational boundaries.
Strong coding, design-review, performance-analysis, and system-debugging capabilities with continued hands-on contribution.
Preferred experience with a major GPU computing stack and its kernel driver, runtime, libraries, tooling, and fleet-management interfaces.
Preferred experience defining platform APIs or hardware/software contracts across multiple accelerator generations.
Knowledge of distributed accelerator workloads, collective communication, topology-aware placement, and large-scale serviceability.
Track record of mentoring senior engineers and building alignment amid conflicting priorities, ownership, or technical evidence.
