About the role

Drive the cross-functional execution of our AI accelerator hardware program - owning the schedules, dependencies, and risk across silicon, board/system hardware, and the low-level software that brings it to life, from architecture through tapeout, bring-up, and scale-out. [+] You're technical enough to go a level deeper than a typical PM: comfortable in the systems-programming layer (firmware, drivers, bring-up software) where hardware and software meet, not just tracking it from the outside.
