We are seeking a technically proficient
Senior Product Manager to lead the evolution of BrainChip’s Akida™ platform – our ultra-low power, event-based neuromorphic processor IP. This role is not about marketing collateral; it’s about shaping the future of edge AI with real product leadership. You will drive end-to-end product lifecycle execution, from early-stage discovery and requirements definition to cross-functional delivery and iterative refinement.
The ideal candidate has a deep technical background (e.g., in semiconductors, edge computing, or embedded AI), but is equally comfortable translating complex ideas into product plans, business cases, and discussions with non-technical stakeholders.
This is a hybrid role and is required in our Laguna Hills, CA office 3 days a week.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the product lifecycle from concept through end-of-life for a portfolio that includes:
- AI IP cores
- Neuromorphic model libraries
- Development kits
- Edge AI hardware systems (SoCs, silicon, and evaluation boards)
- Author detailed and technically sound Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) to drive software, silicon, and model development roadmaps.
- Partner with engineering using Agile practices to scope, prioritize, and deliver neural model features, hardware improvements, and developer tooling.
- Develop strong market and technical perspectives to guide trade-off decisions in architecture, performance, and time-to-market.
- Create, maintain, and refine business cases that span technical viability, market readiness, financial return, and ecosystem integration.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, business development, architecture, and executive leadership to ensure product alignment and delivery.
- Support strategic product planning by engaging in industry standards efforts, customer conversations, and competitive landscape analysis.
- Contribute to the ongoing expansion of BrainChip’s future product pipeline with a balance of technical rigor and market insight.
Required Qualifications
Education:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline
- MBA or Master’s in Management/Technology preferred
Experience:
- 5–10 years in product management or technical product leadership in semiconductors, embedded AI, or edge computing
- Proven experience writing technical PRDs and collaborating deeply with hardware/software engineering teams
- Solid understanding of edge AI/ML infrastructure, AI inference workloads, IP blocks, and model deployment pipelines
- Familiarity with neuromorphic computing or event-based processing is a strong plus
- Experience working with developer ecosystems, SDKs, and AI model optimization tools (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, MetaTF)
Skills & Attributes
- Highly technical yet an excellent communicator with both engineers and executives
- Strategic thinker with a bias for execution
- Proficient in Agile and product development workflows
- Skilled in market discovery, competitive analysis, and creating compelling value propositions
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shaping product strategy in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment
- Driven by curiosity, resilience, and the ability to learn on the fly
We are not looking for a generalist product marketer. We need a
technical product strategist, a doer and thinker who wants to be part of something fundamentally new and transformative.
