About the role
Qualcomm is seeking a Senior Director of Product Management to lead the multi-generation IoT processor and chipset portfolio across Camera and Industrial markets. This leader owns SoC strategy and definition across CPU, GPU, NPU, DSP, real-time compute, ISP, and connectivity.
What you'll do
- Own processor portfolio strategy, product segmentation, roadmap, positioning, business cases, pricing inputs, investment priorities, and lifecycle management for Camera and Industrial processors.
- Develop MRDs and PRDs that translate workloads into measurable requirements across CPU, GPU, NPU, DSP, real-time compute, ISP, video, memory hierarchy, security, virtualization, I/O, connectivity, package, thermal design, reliability, and longevity.
- Lead performance, power, cost, die-size, memory-bandwidth, package, feature, and software trade-offs to establish scalable product tiers with maximum IP and platform reuse.
- Lead cross-functional execution with architecture, silicon engineering, hardware, systems, validation, operations, and software teams to deliver chipsets and hardware platforms.
- Align reference hardware, BSP, operating systems, RTOS, middleware, SDKs, AI and vision software, security, and validation plans with SoC milestones.
- Define specific requirements for Camera (ISP, image quality, multi-camera interfaces, Edge AI, low latency) and Industrial applications (industrial PCs, Edge AI boxes, PLC and soft-PLC systems, motor control, deterministic compute, and functional safety).
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related technical field.
- 10+ years of Product Management or related work experience.
Nice to have
- 20 years of relevant experience in semiconductor product management, SoC architecture, embedded processors, camera processors, or industrial compute.
- Demonstrated ownership of processor or chipset products from definition through launch, production ramp, and lifecycle management.
- Deep knowledge of heterogeneous compute, multimedia and imaging, Edge AI, memory and I/O architecture, real-time processing, and hardware/software platform integration.
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; MBA is a plus.
