## Description

The Partner Quality Engineering (PQE) team knows performance is how every Windows PC is judged , how fast it starts and resumes, how quickly apps launch, how long the battery lasts, and how well it runs on everyday hardware.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager – Windows Performance, you will own the performance outcomes for the Windows device ecosystem. You define the metrics that matter, turn assessment data into clear guidance partners can act on, influence how devices are designed and built, and drive the performance and power issues that matter most to resolution.

**Responsibilities**

- Own the performance signal for the ecosystem: define and track the KPIs that matter most, and make the data clear and actionable for partners and leadership.

- Influence device design so hardware ships competitive fundamentals out of the box , fast startup and resume, quick app launch, and strong battery life.

- Champion great performance on mainstream and entry-level devices, including efficient use of memory on resource-constrained designs.

- Keep performance assessments relevant to how people really use their PCs, partnering with engineering teams on what to measure and how.

- Drive performance and power issues to resolution with device and silicon partners through hands-on workshops and co-engineering.

- Represent performance externally at major industry and partner events, and build the enablement that helps partners resolve common issues on their own.

- Bring data and AI into performance triage to find and fix issues faster, and help shape how those capabilities are adopted over time.

- Experience with product fundamentals such as performance, power/battery life, or silicon engagements.

- A track record of driving measurable performance improvements on shipping products with external partners , not just tracking metrics.

- Data fluency: able to define and defend KPIs, and to translate telemetry and benchmarks into clear, actionable guidance.

- Experience influencing hardware or product-design decisions through data and benchmarking.
