  • Owning all product documentation including manuals, data sheets, user guides, application notes, and release documentation.
  • Creating, updating, and maintaining accurate, customer-ready documentation that enhances customer experience and reduces support burden.
  • Engaging with customers, field engineers, and support teams to gather feedback ensuring documentation meets user needs.

  • Leading competitive product analysis based on customer interactions and application requirements.
  • Driving creation of sales and marketing collateral aligned with product positioning and roadmap.
  • Developing and execute product launch and marketing strategies.
  • Collaborating with Line of Business leads on financial forecasting including bookings, revenue, and profitability.
  • Developing strategies to increase product line profitability.
  • Owning end-of-life planning, long-term supply strategies, and lifecycle management for all assigned mixed-signal products.
  • Coordinating End-of-Life mitigation strategies (including lifetime buys, re-spins, and redesigns) with Supply Chain Management and Engineering.
  • Track projects, documentation metrics, and product KPIs.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
  • Typically requires a minimum of 4 years of product management or operations experience in aerospace, defense, semiconductor, or technical/industrial environments.
