Job Description
We create world-changing technology that improves the life of every person on the planet. Intel delivers the silicon by applying reach, scale, and resources to deliver on bold goals. And we're not doing it alone: we work with our customers and galvanize the industry for positive impact.
Our small team of accomplished researchers and architects shape the global PC ecosystem everyday - setting the standards, norms, and infrastructure for the entire client ecosystem. We begin with research by exploring the main questions: how people interact with technology, how it can enhance people's lives, and what are the most compelling experiences. Next, we translate those experiences into a set of technical requirements and capabilities: IPs, SoCs, Software, Packaging and Platform. Finally, we have the privilege of leading teams from across Intel to bring these technologies to market with our advanced factories, our partners, and customers from across the world selling hundreds of millions of units every year.
