Senior Product Manager, Software & Developer Platform

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly SDK release train and quarterly major releases: contents, release sync, go/no-go decisions, release notes, and customer communications
• Set the pattern coverage roadmap — deciding which graph patterns the Chimera Graph Compiler (CGC) compiles next (attention variants, quantization schemes, normalization patterns) and sequencing them against customer model requirements
• Define and drive the market-driven demo strategy across demos, model zoo, pattern coverage, and compiler work
• Engage directly with anchor customers in technical reviews, converting model gap lists into engineering-ready roadmap entries
• Own the quantization and numerics roadmap (INT4, FP8, OCP MX, KV cache compression) and coordinate with HW PM and customer SW teams
• Define the integration strategy for frameworks and runtimes: GGML/llama.cpp, vLLM, ONNX Runtime, ExecuTorch, and HF Optimum
• Maintain a model zoo of customer-confidence models (LLM chat, BEVFormer, VLA, ADAS perception) that drive compiler completeness
• Conduct quarterly roadmap tours with anchor customers, prospects, and the field; brief PMM monthly on shipments and positioning
• Track competitive intelligence on Synopsys MetaWare, Arm KleidiAI, Ceva NeuPro Studio, and NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM; brief exec and sales quarterly
• Coordinate with the safety lead on ISO 26262 traceability and qualification artifacts

Requirements

• Must have shipped product on at least one of: NPU or AI accelerator IP/silicon stack; graph or ML compiler (TVM, MLIR, XLA, or proprietary); developer-facing AI inference runtime or agent framework
• Must be fluent in modern AI workloads: agentic workflows and LLM serving, KV cache optimization, quantization schemes (AWQ, GPTQ, SmoothQuant, QAT vs. PTQ), datatypes (INT4, FP8, BF16, OCP MX), and inference platforms (vLLM, llama.cpp, TensorRT-LLM, ExecuTorch, ORT)
• Must have shipped a developer-facing AI or compute product (SDK, runtime, compiler, or inference service) with real users and owned release cadence
• Daily user of agentic AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent)
• 5+ years in product management, with 3+ years on a developer-facing AI/ML or compute platform
• Experience with in-person technical customer reviews
• Bay Area resident or willing to relocate to Burlingame

Nice-to-Haves

• Graduate degree, published work, trained model, or OSS contribution
• Automotive Tier 1 engagement or ISO 26262 awareness
• Prior product work on a competing NPU/GPU/AI accelerator stack (MetaWare, Arm ML, Ceva, TensorRT, Hailo, Tenstorrent, etc.)
• OSS contributions to vLLM, llama.cpp, TVM, MLIR, ONNX Runtime, or ExecuTorch

Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Medical, dental, and vision plans starting day one
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Unlimited flexible PTO
• Company-provided lunches and stocked kitchen
• Monthly parking or Caltrain pass
