Principal Product Manager - Node-Server - AI

At the forefront of the latest semiconductor technology & security we're redefining how AI-powered infrastructure is secured from silicon to software. Backed by Tier-1 VC's & commercial partnerships - yes, we're driving real revenue - and recognized as one of the most innovative security and integrated technology companies, 150+ person team tackling one of the primary roadblocks today in tech: securing the foundation of the world's data centers & infrastructure. This is a high-visibility role with a direct path to PM leadership & a realistic exit opportunity as the organization scales.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of product management in semiconductor, embedded systems, systems software, or data center hardware, with shipped firmware or software products in a hardware-adjacent environment.

• Demonstrated working knowledge of BMC and server platform management firmware: out-of-band management, boot firmware, and platform telemetry - with deep expertise in at least two of these three domains: data center infrastructure, platform management firmware, semiconductors.

• Technical depth sufficient to hold your own in architecture discussions with firmware and ASIC engineers; a background in embedded software, firmware development, or systems architecture is strongly preferred.

• Hands-on experience leading technical requirements conversations directly with OEM, ODM, or hyperscaler engineering organizations.

• Clear, credible written and verbal communication: comfortable authoring PRDs, presenting to executives, and representing the company externally with analysts, partners, and press.

What you will be doing:

• Own the SW/FW/AI-ML roadmap for the TCU at the server and node layer - spanning platform management software (BMC), the security stack (root of trust, hardware firewall), and on-chip AI/ML inference - and sequence it against engineering capacity, customer commitments, and business priorities.

• Turn an ambitious platform vision into shippable product: author PRDs with clear acceptance criteria that translate OEM, ODM, and hyperscaler requirements into actionable engineering work.

• Serve as the primary technical interface for server-level TCU integration, leading architecture and requirements discussions with principal engineers at major OEM, ODM, and cloud accounts.

• Drive cross-functional alignment across firmware engineering, hardware architecture, software, QA, security, and product marketing from concept through launch.

• Partner with product marketing on launch messaging, technical collateral, and customer-facing content that carries the platform narrative externally.

• Track and influence relevant industry standards (OCP, DMTF/Redfish, TCG, SPDM, DC-SCM) and maintain sharp competitive positioning in the platform management and infrastructure security space.

• In months 12-24, expand scope upward into rack-level and fleet-level product ownership as the Rack Manager and hardware management fabric story matures.

Nice to have:

• Embedded or edge AI/ML: inference on resource-constrained hardware, ML model deployment in firmware contexts, or AI-driven platform management.

• Hardware security: root of trust, secure boot, attestation, TPM/fTPM, or applied cryptography.

• Standards familiarity: NIST 800-193, OCP Security, DMTF Redfish, SPDM, PLDM, or DC-SCM.

• Prior experience at a fabless semiconductor company where firmware is a first-class product.

• Exposure to AI server or accelerator platforms (GPU servers, AI ASICs, custom silicon) and their management-plane requirements.

• Rack-level or fleet-level platform management experience - a plus for faster ramp into the growth-path scope.

Benefits

Competitive base + bonus, pre-IPO equity (with real exit in reach), fully-paid healthcare/dental/vision for employee & family, gym membership, 401k, PTO, vacation
