Backlog or product ownership experience is an advantage. * Ability to understand how consuming software organizations work, translate their needs into platform priorities, and explain platform details back in a way they can act on. * Comfortable working towards shared goals in a fast-paced environment where information is incomplete, ambiguous, or evolving. * Knowledge of embedded Linux and experience using Linux as a software development platform. * Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent education. Additional highly preferred experience: Virtual platform, emulation, or RTL simulation experience in a production semiconductor program; DSP toolchains or baseband and radio software stacks; frameworks such as Arm Fast Models, QEMU, Wind River Simics, or Synopsys Virtualizer; third-party model and simulator supplier management; and Python or Bash scripting, Git, JIRA, and Jenkins. ## Description This is a technical leadership role with several dimensions: setting the technical direction for the platform, managing the Austin team, and acting as an Operative Product Owner (OPO) for SVP alongside the other OPOs. What you will do: * Set the technical direction for the platform: simulator architecture, model accuracy at the software interface, execution speed, and the quality bar for models and releases. * Lead the development and integration of SystemC and TLM models of hardware components across processor and DSP subsystems, accelerators, interconnect, memory, interfaces, and board components, including externally sourced models and co-simulation with third-party simulators. * Own how models are proven correct, whether they are used as reference models alongside RTL or as the device under test (DUT) in UVM, and clearly identify any remaining coverage gaps. * Maintain simulation performance as the platform grows, so CI turnaround time stays short. * Work with the other SVP Operative Product Owners (OPOs) to manage and prioritize the product backlog, bringing technical judgment to trade-offs between IP verification, ASIC test software, baseband software, and radio software needs. * Act as the interface between the virtual platform team and its users. Understand how software and IP teams work, translate their needs into platform content and priorities, and represent platform behavior, constraints, and delivery timelines back to them. This includes clarifying where specifications are incomplete or still evolving. * Own the release train, delivery commitments to consuming programs, and supplier model deliveries from requirements through acceptance. * Work closely with system, SoC, and IP architects to develop models early from their specifications and feed platform findings back into the design process. * Run one platform with the Sweden group through shared architecture, one release train, and joint priorities. * Build and sustain networks beyond your own organization, work closely with Swedish teams around this platform, and drive improvements in the product, ways of working, and team competence. * Manage, recruit, and develop the Austin team, own the hiring bar, and balance support load with platform development work., DISCLAIMER: The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by employees in this position.
