• Ability to reason about chip-level tradeoffs adjacent to your specialty and communicate clearly.

Responsibilities

• Take part in end-to-end program activities: strategy, specification, execution, and technical bar.
• Write specifications and interface definitions that others design against and maintain coherence as architecture converges.
• Make and own directional calls on technology/IP selection, build vs buy vs license, and design authority decisions.
• Develop and share AI-assisted approaches to code-like parts of your domain and measure Claude's accelerative impact.
• Contribute to architecture and micro-architecture discussions from your domain perspective, considering tradeoffs for the rest of the chip.
