Portfolio Manager - Compute

Lead end-to-end delivery of a strategic platform software SOW for a Tier-1 SoC customer. Own program planning, resource & budget management, risk & change control, ODC security & OSS compliance, client engagement, and technical delivery across Linux / Android porting, multimedia, core BSP and system integration to meet milestone-driven acceptance.

Key responsibilities

Own delivery of platform software : Linux kernel and Android / HLOS porting, platform bring-up, multimedia subsystems (audio, camera, video, display, CV / DSP, sensors), core platform drivers (clock, IPC, storage, power), and system integration.

Manage build & release cycles, target-team responsibilities (power testing, debug / stability testing), and milestone deliveries to ensure release readiness.

Ensure comprehensive test planning and execution : sanity tests, xTS families (CTS, STS, GTS, VTS, etc.), telephony / IMS regression, kernel tests, performance and long-duration stability, OTA testing and automation enhancements.

Drive resource planning and onboarding for Graphics, Connectivity, Power, Data / IMS and test teams; maintain capacity and allocation across development and test.

Enforce ODC security and data-management controls (personnel checks, physical & technical controls, source-code handling, vulnerability management) and ensure compliance with client security requirements.

Own open-source compliance and third-party software disclosures (SPDX); remediate license or OSS issues that could block acceptance.

Provide regular status reporting to client stakeholders (executive summary, activities, action items, issues) and act as primary delivery contact.

Maintain risk register, manage change requests and acceptance exceptions, and escalate / resolve program-level issues.

Required skills & experience

8+ years program / portfolio management in embedded / SoC / platform software with strong technical understanding of Linux kernel porting and Android / HLOS.

Hands-on familiarity with multimedia drivers and core BSP components (clock, power, IPC, storage, diag).

Proven experience owning large, milestone-driven SOWs or programs and managing acceptance & invoicing under fixed-fee models.

Deep test & validation knowledge for mobile / SoC platforms, and experience with device labs, device provisioning and JTAG / debug workflows.

Operational experience running ODCs or off-site delivery centers with security / compliance accountability.

Strong stakeholder management, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Preferred

Prior experience with Tier-1 SoC or mobile platform customers. PMP, Scrum or similar certifications; security accreditations (CISSP, ISO27001) preferred. Familiarity with CI / CD, automation frameworks, and power / thermal triage tools is an advantage.
