Principal Product Manager

Company Description

Axiado is building the future of AIpowered digital infrastructure. We are a fast-growing, wellfunded silicon, systems, and solutions company pioneering a new category of semiconductor called the Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) that combines advanced hardware security, AIdriven resilience and efficiency, and realtime platform management. Our technology protects the world’s most critical infrastructure—from data centers to next generation cloud and AI platforms—by securing systems at the foundation levels of hardware, independent of host CPUs and operating systems.

Founded in 2019 and now over 150 employees strong, Axiado has evolved into a recognized leader in the convergence of AI, security, and silicon innovation. We partner with and are actively engaged in commercial programs with multiple Tier 1 industry leaders, validating both our technology and our long-term market trajectory. Axiado has also won numerous industry awards for our ground-breaking products and technological innovations, including being named one of Fast Company’s 2025 Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Security, winning the 2025 Global Info Sec Award for Outstanding AI Security Solution, and being named a finalist for the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s 2025 “Start-Up to Watch” award.

At Axiado, developing breakthrough technology takes more than great engineering—it takes a team of exceptional people who collaborate boldly, challenge assumptions, and take pride in building what comes next. We value curiosity, execution, respect, and a shared desire to make a meaningful impact on the security and reliability of the digital world.

Axiado is building a new kind of intelligence layer for AI infrastructure: a distributed, silicon-rooted platform that secures, optimizes, and manages every endpoint in the AI rack, from the first clock tick to full rack scale. At the heart of it is the Axiado Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), an AI-native platform that replaces reactive, software-bound management with local inference and hardware-enforced action at every node.

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead product definition and management for this effort. You will own the software, firmware, and AI/ML roadmap that turns individual TCUs into a coordinated, self-aware platform, while maintaining broad visibility across Axiado's full data center silicon and hardware module portfolio. Reporting to the Head of Products and Marketing, you will sit at the intersection of engineering, customers, and go‑to‑market: defining requirements, driving alignment, and shaping how an ambitious platform vision becomes shipping product.

This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role with clear leadership trajectory as Axiado's PM organization scales. You will work directly with our engineering team on platform architecture, with customers on integration requirements, and with product marketing on positioning and launch. You will not just manage a product line, you will help define a category.

• Own the SW/FW/AI‑ML roadmap for the TCU platform, spanning platform management software (BMC/RMC), the security stack (root of trust, hardware firewall), and on‑chip AI/ML inference, prioritizing across competing engineering, customer, and business needs.
• Translate an ambitious platform vision into product: define how local, hardware‑rooted inference at each node scales into fleet‑level awareness and autonomous management, and turn that architecture into PRDs, acceptance criteria, and shippable capabilities.
• Serve as the cross‑functional PM voice across the full TCU platform, including silicon and hardware modules, coordinating with hardware product management to ensure SW/FW roadmap decisions are informed by and aligned with system‑level hardware requirements.
• Drive requirements from concept through release: author PRDs, define acceptance criteria, and translate customer and market needs into actionable engineering work.
• Be the customer interface for the TCU platform, leading technical discussions with hyperscalers, OEMs, ODMs, and CSPs to understand integration requirements and surface feedback into the roadmap.
