> Own the software roadmap and monthly SDK release train for Quadric's Chimera Graph Compiler, driving pattern coverage, quantization strategy, and customer model integration for an AI NPU platform. Requires 5+ years PM experience on a developer-facing AI/ML or compute platform.

## Job Description

## 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
