Qualcomm Communication Technologies Ltd. is seeking a Staff or Director-level Product Manager to lead the definition, productization, and commercialization of an Ethernet product portfolio spanning physical layer (PHY and multi-PHY), Ethernet controllers/NICs, and Ethernet switching platforms.

This role owns end-to-end portfolio strategy across both hardware and software, including silicon capabilities, system integration, platform software, manageability, and ecosystem enablement.

• Defining multi-generation product roadmaps, including performance tiers, feature segmentation, SKU strategy, lifecycle planning, and integration across portfolio components.
• Leading system-level product definition, translating market and customer requirements into silicon capabilities, platform software expectations, and reference architectures.
• Serving as the executive voice of the customer, engaging directly with hyperscalers, OEMs, enterprise, and service-provider customers to shape requirements and capture early design-in commitments.
• Driving architecture-level trade-offs across performance, power, cost, programmability, and time-to-market in close partnership with silicon and software architecture teams.
• Owning the business case and commercialization model, including TAM/SAM framing, pricing and packaging strategy, margin targets, and long-term revenue forecasts.
• Defining and executing go-to-market strategy in collaboration with sales, marketing, and business development, including positioning, launch readiness, customer sampling, and field enablement.

• Representing the product portfolio in executive reviews, customer roadmap sessions, and industry forums, articulating a clear and differentiated Ethernet vision.
