Director, Simulation Solutions and Business Development

About This Role

• The Role and Impact In this role, you will lead the business development and solution strategy for Intel's system-level simulation technologies, including virtual prototyping, architecture exploration, functional simulation, power/performance/thermal modeling, digital twin concepts, and related EDA/ESL flows.
• This role is to be centered on simulation technologies focused on creating and growing business opportunities for external customers, with simulation acting as both a direct solution area and an enabler for broader purpose-built silicon and foundry engagements.
• You will also develop and scale external opportunities around Intel's simulation portfolio, including Simics, Docea, CoFluent, and related capabilities, with simulation serving both as a direct solution area and as an enabler for broader purpose-built silicon, foundry, datacenter, AI, and strategic customer engagements.
• The successful candidate will work across engineering, product, business, partner, and ecosystem teams to translate internal capabilities into customer-facing value propositions, scalable solution offerings, commercialization models, and repeatable adoption mechanisms.
• Business group The role is part of Intel's broader mission to design and deliver world-class computing solutions that power the future of technology.
• You will join a team dedicated to enabling innovation through simulation tools and optimization algorithms, contributing to Intel's leadership in advanced computing and providing critical technical solutions to meet evolving customer needs.
• Key Responsibilities Strategy and Business Development • Develop business strategy, growth plans, and go-to-market approaches that position simulation capabilities as both standalone offerings and enablers for broader purpose-built silicon, foundry, datacenter, and AI engagements. • Assess market opportunities, competitive positioning, and customer requirements to guide investment priorities and growth plans. • Define pricing, packaging, licensing, and commercialization strategies for simulation-based solutions and services.
• Solutions and Value Proposition • Translate internal tools, platforms, and methodologies (Simics, Docea, CoFluent) into differentiated customer-facing solutions, value propositions, and scalable engagement models. • Create solution offerings, technical narratives, business cases, roadmaps, and executive-level recommendations that connect simulation capabilities to customer outcomes and Intel growth priorities. • Identify, qualify, and prioritize external opportunities where system-level simulation can accelerate customer adoption, reduce development risk, and enable larger foundry, silicon, client, datacenter, and AI engagements.
• Customer and Partner Engagement • Build strategic relationships across EDA, semiconductor, foundry, custom silicon, and ecosystem partner landscapes to support simulation adoption and long-term business growth. • Support customer pursuits through solution architecture discussions, proposal development, technical positioning, and partner alignment. • Work with business, product, sales, and ecosystem teams to establish market positioning, customer adoption strategies, and scalable revenue models.
• Execution and Operations • Establish scalable delivery mechanisms, governance, success metrics, and operating processes that grow customer opportunities into repeatable business execution. • Balance external opportunity development with internal roadmap commitments, resource constraints, delivery quality, and long-term capability growth. • Represent the organization in senior-level technical and business discussions, influencing decisions across engineering, product, customer, partner, and executive stakeholders.
