Technical Product Manager - CPU Hardware Program
About the role
What you'll be doing
- Drive coordinated progress across CPU silicon and platform programs, maintaining a clear view of achievements, dependencies, risks, decisions, owners, and readiness criteria.
- Collaborate with architecture, silicon, platform, firmware, validation, performance, operations, and product teams to recognize cross-functional dependencies and advance essential steps to completion.
- Identify schedule, scope, quality, and readiness risks early, outlining technical trade-offs and bringing the right collaborators together to make timely decisions.
- Translate complex engineering inputs into concise, technically accurate program plans, requirements, decision records, risk assessments, and executive updates.
- Coordinate responses to hardware and platform questions from customers, partners, sales, and executives while ensuring commitments align with product requirements, technical evidence, and program capacity.
- Establish traceability across customer commitments, product requirements, program decisions, and delivery owners as schedules and configurations evolve.
- Improve program efficiency through focused source-of-truth management, dashboards, lightweight automation, and operating mechanisms that reduce manual coordination and accelerate decision-making.
What we need to see
- 8+ years of proven experience in technical program management, systems engineering, hardware program management, or a comparable role leading complex hardware and software products.
- BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related area, or equivalent experience.
- Working knowledge of server or silicon development, including dependencies across CPU, memory, I/O, firmware, board, system, validation, and manufacturing.
- Proven experience building and driving coordinated technical programs across architecture, engineering, validation, operations, product, and customer-facing teams.
- Ability to grasp complex gaps in evidence, dependencies, assumptions, and implementation plans.
- Strong technical and executive communication skills, including experience developing requirements, decision documents, risk assessments, program updates, and customer-facing responses.
- Excellent judgment, organization, and follow-through while operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with multiple senior collaborators.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Experience delivering server CPUs, accelerated computing platforms, rack-scale systems, or complex silicon programs.
- Experience with silicon bring-up, platform qualification, OEM/ODM execution, firmware, validation, or production readiness.
- A track record of building program mechanisms or artifacts that measurably improved decision speed, schedule predictability, or issue resolution.
- Experience handling customer commitments and technical readiness for pre-production hardware.
- Knowledge of CPU driven platforms and data center client needs.
