Senior Product Manager​

BrainChip Laguna Hills, CA
2 days ago 76 applicants​


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.

Senior product manager 3 days a week ?. I hope there are other's to share the work load
 
FF.

Yes similar to what DeGirum is offering only they use the VVDN Edge Box which runs 2 x AKD1000 whereas AKIDA Cloud runs AKIDA 2.0.

In essence Brainchip with DeGirum are able to offer a vast number of IP options commencing with 1 node of AKD 1000 up to 160 nodes at DeGirum and 1 node of AKIDA 2.0 up to 256 nodes (at least) in the Brainchip AKIDA Cloud.

Those who harp on about what product does Brainchip have for sale well with DeGirum and AKIDA Cloud they now have more than 416 AKIDA technology IP options available for testing and purchase.

I am really not sure how you get that assumption when there are substantial buys probably covering for the weekend in lead up to whatever is around the corner. But it may be one of your jokes which I never quite get.. I am gathering it is one of those.

Most likely that’s just a private @verizon.net email address. In the US many people use Verizon, Comcast, AT&T etc. as their personal providers …RocketReach often pulls those into its listings. Officially, Steve Thorne is VP of Sales at BrainChip, and there’s no evidence of any business link to Verizon. I also couldn’t find any hint on LinkedIn
Thank you for clearing this up...to me;)

What are the chances our recent rise could be attributed to this 🤔
