About the role
Qualcomm is seeking a Director of Product Management to own the strategy, roadmap, and growth of its camera and machine-vision portfolio. The role defines processors and platforms across image sensors, ISP, video, computer vision, Edge AI, software, and cloud or fleet integration.
What you'll do
- Own the multi-generation product roadmap, segmentation, positioning, pricing inputs, business case, and lifecycle for machine-vision processors and platforms.
- Define tiered platforms for smart cameras, machine-vision systems, video analytics, multi-camera platforms, and intelligent vision endpoints.
- Translate market and customer needs into requirements across image sensors, ISP, video encode/decode, NPU, computer vision, CPU/GPU, memory, I/O, connectivity, security, power, and thermal design.
- Align camera workloads, silicon capabilities, SDKs, reference hardware, and validation plans with chipset PDM, Software PDM, architecture, and engineering teams.
- Engage camera OEMs, machine-vision companies, sensor vendors, lens and module partners, ODMs, ISVs, and AI ecosystem partners to secure design wins.
- Define requirements for image quality, low-light and high-dynamic-range performance, LED-flicker mitigation, global-shutter and triggered capture, multi-camera synchronization, and capture-to-decision latency.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- 8+ years of Product Management or related work experience (advanced degrees can substitute up to two years: Master’s = one year, Doctorate = two years).
Nice to have
- 20 years of relevant experience in camera, imaging, machine vision, video, semiconductor product management, or related IoT markets.
- Demonstrated ownership of product strategy, roadmap, positioning, customer engagement, and product launches.
- Understanding of camera architecture, ISP, video, computer vision, Edge AI, sensors, interfaces, and software enablement.
- Track record of building customer and ecosystem relationships and driving cross-functional execution across engineering, software, sales, and business teams.
