Summary:

**** This role requires full-time onsite work in San Diego, CA (5 days per week).
**** About the Team
** The AI Platforms & Systems Solutions team sits at the center of how next-generation AI comes to life across on-device and hybrid computing. We define the end-to-end hardware–software solutions that turn cutting-edge AI/ML models, agentic experiences, and orchestration runtimes into real products people use every day—fast, efficient, and built to scale.

Our charter spans the full AI stack: from model enablement and inference optimization, to the agentic frameworks and orchestration engines that coordinate work across compute tiers, to the open protocols and specifications that make the broader ecosystem interoperable. We partner deeply with silicon, software, standards bodies, OEMs, and developers to shape not just individual products, but the standards the industry builds on.

This is a place for people who want to work at the frontier—where systems design, product strategy, and open standards meet. If you are energized by defining what comes next in AI computing and driving it from concept through adoption, you will feel at home here.
** Job Description
** The AI Platforms & Systems Solutions team defines and delivers the end-to-end hardware–software solutions that power next-generation on-device and hybrid AI experiences, with a strong focus on the Windows AI ecosystem. As a Staff PDM, you will own the product strategy, definition, and lifecycle for AI platform products and specifications—spanning AI/ML model enablement, agentic systems, orchestration runtimes, and the open protocols and standards that connect them across local AI accelerators (CPU, GPU, NPU).You

will develop, define, and execute plans of record—including schedules, budgets, resources, deliverables, and risks—and direct a comprehensive product strategy from conception and definition through end of life. You will function as a central resource across systems, engineering, standards, quality, marketing, and partner teams as products and specifications move through their lifecycle.

This role requires deep fluency in the Windows edge-AI stack and the ability to translate emerging model, agentic, and orchestration trends into a differentiated, defensible product and specification roadmap.
** Technical Focus Areas
** This role places strong emphasis on the following domains. Candidates should demonstrate depth in several and working fluency across all:
* ** AI / ML Models:
** model lifecycle, quantization and optimization, inference performance, and on-device / hybrid deployment trade-offs.
* ** Agentic Systems:
** planning, tool use, multi-agent workflows, and the product requirements that make agentic experiences reliable and performant.
* ** Orchestration:
** task decomposition, routing, execution, and aggregation across compute tiers, including NPU-first runtime strategies.
* ** Protocols & Standards:
** authoring, evolving, and driving adoption of interoperability specifications and open standards across the ecosystem and standards bodies.
* ** Windows & Edge AI Ecosystem:
** delivering AI products and services on the Windows ecosystem that leverage local AI accelerators (CPU, GPU, NPU) across the app-to-silicon stack.
* ** Product & Specification Development:
** translating system solutions into shippable products and ratifiable specifications with clear KPIs, conformance criteria, and partner enablement.
** Windows Ecosystem & Edge AI Experience
** This role is centered on the Windows AI ecosystem and on-device inference. Candidates should demonstrate hands-on depth across the following (Windows strongly preferred):
* Hands-on experience delivering Windows ecosystem-based AI products/services that utilize local AI accelerators (CPU, GPU, or NPU).
* Detailed understanding of AI-related APIs/DDIs and SDKs for edge devices (Windows…
