** General

Summary:

** Qualcomm is seeking a Director of Product Management to own the definition, roadmap, and lifecycle of processors for Industrial and Edge AI markets. This chipset-focused leader will translate demanding workloads and system requirements into differentiated SoCs, software enablement plans, and hardware platforms that customers can take to production.  The role requires depth in compute architecture, heterogeneous processing, deterministic and low-latency systems, motor and motion control, industrial networking and protocols, machine vision, and Edge AI.

The candidate will work closely with cross-functional leads in architecture, silicon engineering, hardware, systems, validation, and software to deliver the chipset and complete hardware platform from concept through launch, production ramp, and lifecycle management.  ##

Key Responsibilities ### Chipset & Platform Product Management
· Own processor definition, roadmap, positioning, business case, pricing inputs, and lifecycle management.
· Develop MRDs and PRDs that convert customer workloads into measurable silicon, package, board, software, reliability, longevity, and platform requirements.
· Lead trade-offs across performance, power, cost, die size, memory, I/O, connectivity, package, thermal design, and software scope.
· Drive cross-functional execution with engineering and software leads to deliver the SoC, reference hardware, BSP, middleware, and validation plan required for customer launches.  ### Compute, Real-Time Control & Connectivity
· Define requirements across CPU, GPU, NPU, DSP and real-time compute, vision, memory hierarchy, security, virtualization, and high-speed I/O.
· Architect for latency, determinism, bandwidth, quality of service, functional isolation, and mixed-criticality systems combining Linux or Windows with RTOS domains.
· Translate motor and motion-control workloads into requirements for timers, PWM, encoders, sensor interfaces, ADC integration, safety mechanisms, and control-loop responsiveness.
· Define industrial networking requirements including industrial Ethernet, TSN, precise time synchronization, redundancy, and protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, Ether Net/IP, OPC UA, Modbus, CAN/CAN-FD, and IO-Link.  ### Edge AI, Customer & Lifecycle Leadership
· Work with Software PDM and Engineering to translate Edge AI, machine vision, inspection, and industrial automation workloads into compute, memory, vision, and software requirements.
· Define benchmark, model-performance, latency, power-efficiency, tooling, and deployment requirements for production AI platforms.
· Engage industrial OEMs, automation companies, module vendors, and Edge AI platform providers; convert strategic needs into reusable roadmap decisions.
· Support design wins, product launches, customer escalations, supply and lifecycle planning, and roadmap transitions.
