- Work directly with OEM and the NVIDIA Architecture team to define and maintain SoC product collateral, including Datasheet, PinMux, Hardware Design Guide, Product Specification, and Partner Guidelines.
- Lead and document PoR (Plan‑of‑Record) discussions for SoC platforms, aligning internal and external stakeholders on features, constraints, and schedules.
- Define and review GPU/CPU/DLA/memory electrical and thermal requirements at the system level (power delivery, interfaces, cooling, operating conditions, derating, etc.).
- Define and review SoC high speed I/O ( eDP, DP, HDMI,PCIe, USB-C) specification, design rules and validation plan.
- Serve as the technical point of contact for customer support on POR, board design, bring-up, and validation issues.
- Drive continuous updates to design collateral based on silicon learning, field feedback, and new feature enablement.
- Collaborate cross-functionally across architecture, silicon, hardware, thermal, and software teams to resolve issues and deliver robust solutions.
- Be involved in customer interaction, set up and drive customer communication via conference calls, and face to face meetings
What we need to see:
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
