Roles & Responsibilities For Lead System Engineer

• Assume technical responsibility from Pre-silicon to Post-silicon environment for Feature enablement and SoC-System level flow for use cases.
• Pre-Silicon: New SOC features enablement, implementation and coverage plan in Emulation
• Pre-silicon: Review all Silicon bugs that deferred out SOC Tape out and ensure it does not impact the system level features / use cases.
• Post Silicon: Lead the Bring-up planning in collaboration with Silicon teams, Platform, Firmware / BIOS, Post Si Validation team so we have the fastest and functional bring-up as soon as silicon arrives in the lab.
• Post Silicon: Partner with SOC NPI PM and be the technical lead to support & debug SOC related challenges from Tape out all the way to SOC IP milestone.
• Post Silicon: Lead cross-functional critical silicon issue debug, uplevel and communicate the updates into core teams and Management program reviews.
• Post Silicon: Provide inputs to Silicon Validation teams on coverage for New SOC features, enablement, implementation, IPs, and functional coverage at the system level.
• Exhibit strong technical leadership on X86 architecture and associated feature implementation
• Exhibit great technical depth in the post silicon enablement and validation of both HW and FW aspects to take the right technical decisions for the team
