  • Lead cross-functional release planning with software architects and product management.

  • Drive coordinated release readiness for software through core team meetings.

  • Report overall software execution and release status at senior leadership level and clearly communicate schedule changes, critical issues, and risks, along with mitigation and recovery plans.

  • Manage and own software-related escalations, setting up and running tiger teams, driving root cause and corrective actions, and ensuring timely, transparent communication to all stakeholders.

  • Align software roadmaps (SDKs, reference stacks, integrated solutions) with AMD's technology roadmaps (CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators); lead migration strategies for customers on prior generations.

  • Support pre-design win and post-design win activities for strategic Enterprise AI and HPC accounts by providing credible software roadmaps, schedules, and feature commitments; coordinate early SDKs, evaluation kits, reference demos, and proof-of-concept implementations.
