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.

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.
