Server Platform Debug Program Lead - TX, Austin-MET, United States
Originally posted 25 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves leading the operating cadence of the Server Platform Debug Steering Forum and driving open debug issues to closure across platform, silicon, firmware, and validation teams.
What you'll do
- Lead the Server Platform Debug Steering Forum, including agenda, prioritization, technical review of open issues, and follow-through.
- Maintain a single source of truth for debug execution, tracking issue inventory, severity, priority, ownership, hypothesis, next steps, and closure dates.
- Ensure technical owners drive to root cause and closure, identifying stalled investigations and escalating with clear requests.
- Coordinate resources like system/board availability, instrumentation, lab time, silicon samples, and subject-matter experts to sustain debug momentum.
- Drive cross-team dependencies and broker handoffs for issues spanning platform, silicon, firmware, or supplier scope.
- Publish recurring debug status, including burn-down, aging, top blockers, and launch-risk issues, via dashboards and written summaries.
What you'll need
- Working foundation in server platform or SOC debug.
- Ability to assess triage updates, challenge stalled root-cause paths, and coordinate deliverables from diverse technical leads.
- Direct exposure to server platform, SOC, or board-level debug (boot failures, signal integrity, memory training, thermal, power sequencing, or firmware-related issues).
- Familiarity with debug tooling and triage flows.
- Ability to interpret logs, failure signatures, and root-cause analyses.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering.
Nice to have
- Experience running a recurring technical review or triage forum.
