Sr. Product Manager

Supermicro•San Jose, CA

About The Position

As a Sr. Product Manager for System PCBA, you will be the strategic glue between hardware engineering, system architecture, and the broader product organization. You won't just be managing a board; you will be defining how the PCBA enables the next generation of system performance. You will drive the product development lifecycle from initial architectural concept through mass production, ensuring that our hardware platforms are scalable, performant, and aligned with market needs.

Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (MBA or M.S. preferred)
8+ years of Product Management experience, specifically within hardware, server, networking, or complex consumer electronics
Strong understanding of PCBA design flows, including schematic capture, PCB layout constraints, and high-speed signal challenges
Proven ability to influence System Architecture—you understand how a change at the board level impacts the power envelope or thermal profile of the entire chassis
Demonstrated experience shipping multiple high-volume or high-complexity products from "napkin sketch" to global launch

Responsibilities

Partner with System Architects to define PCBA requirements that support overall system goals (signal integrity, power distribution, thermal constraints, and I/O density)
Lead the product journey from Concept to Design to End-of-Life (EOL), making critical trade-off decisions regarding cost, risk, and performance
Act as the primary PM counterpart to the Electrical Engineering (EE) and Layout teams, translating high-level product requirements into actionable technical specifications
Align with SoC, Thermal, Mechanical, and Software PM teams to ensure the PCBA design supports the holistic system dependencies
Collaborate with Operations to ensure component selection aligns with long-term sourcing strategies and manufacturing scalability
