• Coordinate software development across architecture, drivers, firmware, and system software teams to meet aggressive timeline and quality targets
• Partner with hardware design, product management, and customer engineering to align software capabilities with market needs and technical constraints
• Track program health, identify risks, remove blockers, and drive resolution of dependencies and integration challenges
• Establish testing strategies, release criteria, and quality metrics to ensure reliable, high-performance software delivery
• Engage with key customers and field teams to gather feedback and validate software strategies

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering, program management, or product management experience, with at least 5 years managing software-heavy infrastructure or platform products
• Proven track record launching complex software systems at scale, ideally in cloud, HPC, or datacenter environments
• Strong technical foundation in systems software, Linux, drivers, or GPU computing; ability to engage deeply with hardware and architecture teams
• Excellent communication and leadership skills; demonstrated ability to influence and align cross-functional teams without direct authority
