The position involves building and leading a team, setting the multi-year vision for AI adoption, and driving improvements in engineering efficiency and design quality. You will collaborate with Cores engineering leadership to align investments and priorities, and represent the AI strategy to executive stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategy, roadmap, and organizational adoption of AI-driven methodologies across verification, RTL design, and physical design within x86 core development.
- Build, lead, and grow a team of engineers and technical leaders driving AI adoption initiatives.
- Partner with Cores engineering leadership, architecture, design, verification, physical design, and internal tooling/data engineering teams to prioritize investments and align AI initiatives.
- Define and own organizational success metrics, including verification velocity, coverage closure, PPA targets, design-cycle schedule adherence, and defect escape rate.
- Drive evaluation and adoption decisions on emerging AI tools and platforms.
- Lead organizational adoption of AI-augmented workflows, including technical enablement, training, and best-practice development.
- Identify, escalate, and resolve cross-organizational technical challenges and barriers to successful AI adoption.
- Manage organizational headcount planning and resource allocation for the AI engineering team.
- Serve as the primary executive point of contact for AI adoption initiatives within core development.
