This role carries single-threaded accountability for release outcomes, but does not require people management. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: End-to-End Release Ownership
- Own the full lifecycle of Best Known Configuration (BKC) releases, from integration and release candidate planning through validation, sign-off, and final delivery
- Drive release cadence, milestones, and readiness checkpoints across firmware, BIOS, drivers, software stack, validation, and manufacturing teams
- Ensure release artifacts are complete, traceable, and consumable by downstream users
- Serve as the final integrator and decision owner for release scope, including fix inclusion, deferral, and quality vs schedule tradeoffs
- Define and enforce entry / exit criteria, release readiness standards, and fix-version discipline
- Identify systemic risks (quality gaps, tool limitations, coverage holes) and drive mitigation with clear recommendations
- Lead cross-functional release forums and working sessions spanning engineering, program management, validation, and manufacturing
- Resolve conflicts across teams by clarifying ownership, driving decisions, and enforcing agreed-upon outcomes
- Act as the single point of accountability when execution issues arise
- Ensure BKCs are production-ready and customer-consumable, including release notes, documentation, and delivery mechanisms
- Partner with manufacturing teams to support production transitions, special SKUs, and sustaining releases
- Coordinate release strategy for high-visibility customer programs with strict delivery and quality requirements
- Own release plans, schedules, dashboards, status reporting, and executive-level visibility
- Continuously improve release processes, tooling, and handoff mechanisms to increase predictability and quality
- Drive clear communication of release posture, risks, and expectations to stakeholders
- 10+ years of experience in technical program or release management for complex HW/SW systems
- Proven ownership of cross-functional, system-level releases spanning multiple engineering disciplines
- Strong technical understanding of system integration (firmware, BIOS, drivers, software, validation workflows)
- Good understanding of requirements management, documentation management, and defect management
- Demonstrated ability to make and defend difficult scope and priority decisions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with senior technical stakeholders
- Background in silicon validation, platform bring-up, firmware, or large-scale system integration
- Track record of improving release rigor, predictability, and quality through process and tooling
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with incomplete information
- Experience with JIRA, Confluence and Excel is an asset
- Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
- Formal Project Management education, PMP certified
