Translate system requirements into optical, electrical, thermal, and reliability specifications; lead modeling, laboratory characterization, verification, qualification, manufacturing ramp, supplier alignment, and deployment. Drive cross-functional technical decisions across silicon, packaging, networking, manufacturing, and reliability teams while influencing ecosystem roadmaps and mentoring engineers.

Leads end-to-end development of AI scale-up switch platforms, including requirements, vendor selection, hardware architecture, optical interconnects, validation, system integration, and production readiness. Partners with software teams on SONiC, telemetry, diagnostics, and fleet management. Oversees switch integration into AI clusters and leads cross-functional teams across networking, silicon, optics, firmware, software, manufacturing, and operations while optimizing performance, reliability, cost, power, and time-to-market.

Leads storage hardware qualification and validation for Microsoft Azure data centers. Responsibilities include developing qualification frameworks, reliability and telemetry strategies, debugging complex hardware, firmware, operating system, driver, and cloud-service issues, and coordinating with OEMs, ODMs, and silicon partners. The role drives production readiness, root-cause investigations, automation, technical reviews, and continuous process improvement while providing technical leadership to team members.

Leads hardware manufacturing engineering for Microsoft cloud infrastructure, including factory capacity planning, supplier readiness, process optimization, quality systems, root-cause analysis, product industrialization, and risk mitigation. Drives AI, automation, predictive maintenance, and continuous improvement across global supplier sites. Partners with design, sourcing, NPI, quality, and supply-chain teams to deliver scalable, high-quality production and repair operations while establishing performance metrics, governance, and technology roadmaps.

Lead functional validation of PCIe IP at block, cluster, or full-chip levels using UVM/C testbenches and VIP. Develop test plans and unit tests, create and manage regression suites, debug failures, and drive fixes. Improve validation efficiency via methodologies and tools and meet coverage goals toward successful tapeout.

Design and implement low-power microarchitecture, RTL, IP, and SoC components. Develop UPF power intent, perform synthesis, timing closure, lint, CDC, and quality checks, and collaborate with verification, physical design, performance modeling, and test teams. Write tests and automation scripts, debug designs, deliver qualified hardware blocks, and mentor engineers and interns.

Lead formal verification of fabric interconnect architectures, IPs, subsystems, and reusable components through planning and signoff. Develop verification environments, assertions, abstraction models, checkers, and reusable collateral; perform root-cause analysis using formal analysis, simulation, and debugging; improve productivity through automation and AI-assisted methods; and mentor verification engineers. Collaborate with architecture, design, and verification teams across complex silicon projects.

Leads multi-generation architecture and delivery of complex network switch hardware for Azure AI infrastructure. Owns requirements, board and system design, validation, manufacturing readiness, supplier execution, and resolution of complex electrical and platform issues. Provides technical authority across ASICs, CPUs, BMCs, high-speed Ethernet, power delivery, signal integrity, telemetry, and management interfaces while driving cross-functional reviews, mentoring engineers, and influencing ODM/OEM partners.

Lead system-level signal and power integrity for high-performance SoCs and platforms. Design, model, and simulate end-to-end power delivery (DC/AC/transient), validate I/O/link performance, and drive PI solutions across silicon, package, board, and platform with cross-functional stakeholders to meet data-center/HPC performance and scaling requirements.
