Senior Product Manager - Hardware

Efficient is developing the world’s most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor. Efficient’s patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform’s unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolutionThe Hardware Product Manager defines the silicon product strategy and roadmap for Efficient Computer's next-generation spatial computing platforms. This role sits at the intersection of architecture, silicon engineering, software, applications, and customer engagement by translating market and customer insight into actionable silicon product decisions.The Hardware PM owns product direction, market requirements, customer priorities, tradeoffs, and roadmap decisions. Engineering owns implementation and execution, with the Hardware PM partnering closely on technical decisions.This role carries significant influence on company strategy and product direction. It is best suited for candidates with strong product strategy, customer-facing, and technical decision-making experience.Success looks like:The  roadmap reflects real customer requirements and competitive insightProduct specifications are complete, aligned and approved tapeoutThe Hardware PM is the person engineering, sales, and customers all go to for board, silicon and IP product directionKey Responsibilities Define and own the silicon product roadmap, from near-term tape-out requirements to multi-generation platform strategy, based on customer requirements, competitive positioning, and architectural opportunity. Translate customer needs, market dynamics, and competitive insight into clear product specifications. Own the Market Requirements Document (MRD) process.with tradeoffs and ownership explicitly documented. Partner with engineering to define performance targets, power envelopes, memory architecture, interface requirements, and feature prioritization for each product generation. Lead customer discovery and requirements-gathering for silicon and IP capabilities. Represent Efficient's silicon in technical customer discussions, evaluation engagements, and design-win conversations. Drive alignment between product requirements and engineering execution priorities. Own the cross-functional product review process and ensure tradeoff decisions are made explicitly, documented, and communicated as well as provide clear product direction when tradeoff decisions are required.
