- 10+ years in product management, product marketing, customer management, or systems engineering for MPUs, SoCs, or embedded systems.
- Demonstrated ability to turn customer requirements into actionable specs for hardware, software, and systems teams.
- Strong understanding of heterogeneous compute architectures (CPU/GPU/NPU/DSP), memory systems, and interconnects.
- Solid understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) concepts, algorithms, frameworks, and toolchains.
- Familiarity with edge AI applications, including computer vision, natural language processing, and sensor fusion in embedded systems.
- Working knowledge of Arm cores, PCIe, and Ethernet.
- Proficiency in market analysis, competitive analysis, and business case development.
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear and compelling product messaging.
- Strong strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced industry.
- Initiative-taking and purposeful with a passion for innovative technology.
What Sets You Apart- Experience in datacenter architectures and use cases.
- Familiarity with NXP processors, especially Layerscape and S32N devices.
- Understanding of security topics, also including post quantum crypto.
- Experience with embedded software development, operating systems (Linux, RTOS), and developer toolchains is highly desirable.
- Exceptional communication, presentation, and people skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively across all levels of an organization.
- Strategic thinker with a passion for innovation and operational excellence.
- Ability to influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders.
