Job Description

This position has primary responsibility for completion of high-level activities for DCG's GPU IP Engineering. The nature of the job varies based on the executive, leadership team and organization's changing needs, and may evolve over time. This position plays a key role in sensing and working directly with the broader organization and staff to help set priorities and understand gaps, also working with other senior executives across DCG and Intel as required.

The GPU IP Engineering Program Manager will report to and directly support Eric Demers, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the GPU IP Engineering team, along with his direct staff. This role serves as a trusted technical and operational partner, providing insight, coordination, and structure to support the development, integration, and execution of GPU IP across architecture, design, software, and validation.

The position is responsible for helping the GM and staff understand the state of IP development, engineering tradeoffs, dependencies, and execution risks, while ensuring effective operating rhythms across the broader GPU IP organization. This includes working closely with engineering leaders to align priorities, identify gaps, and improve the flow of work across architecture, HW/SW codesign, and downstream consumers.

The Program Manager will manage staff operations, staff meetings, and technical reviews; develop clear and accurate technical and organizational collateral for internal and external use; and drive cross‑team special projects that improve execution, communication, and integration across DCG and partner organizations.
