BrainChip
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:
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.
Apply now to help define the next generation of intelligent computing.
