Power Management Firmware Architect

About the Role As a Power Management Firmware Architect at Intel, you will help shape the future of Intel's SoCs by delivering secure, high-performance firmware interfaces for power-efficient CPUs. You will drive architectural decisions in constrained environments and collaborate across hardware, firmware, and software teams to advance Intel's next-generation CPUs. What You'll Do

• Define architectural frameworks for embedded firmware, emphasizing secured and high-performance solutions.
• Translate complex product-level requirements into detailed firmware-level documentation and specifications.
• Develop algorithms and design patterns for interaction with other firmware and software entities and external software components.
• Lead efforts in vulnerability assessment and threat analysis to identify gaps and define solutions to close them.
• Work closely with firmware engineering teams to provide specs, validate feature design and implementation, and ensure alignment with architectural intent.
• Provide education and training on Intel's features and firmware practices.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to assess the feasibility of new technology adoption.
• Drive research initiatives to promote innovative solutions and contribute to Intel's product roadmap. What We're Looking For
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 8 years of experience with firmware development in C/C++.
• At least 3 years of experience in firmware architecture or system-level design, with a broad architectural view across hardware, firmware, and software interfaces.
• In-depth knowledge of embedded system mitigations, including RTOS.
• Ability to write clear, coherent, and implementable firmware requirements documentation.
• Hands-on experience writing firmware code for ARM or Xtensa CPUs under RTOS and/or bare metal firmware.
