About The Position

As a Staff Product Manager, you will help drive strategy and execution for our Mixed Signal hardware portfolio. The role is dynamic, learning-oriented, and challenging, requiring work across a wide range of stakeholders with visibility to executive leadership. If you want a role that demands a strong technical foundation and increasingly sophisticated business skill, this will challenge you. You’ll work cross-functionally with R&D, Marketing, and Sales to deeply understand customer problems and craft product strategies that clearly differentiate our solutions in the market. Alongside senior product managers and leadership, you’ll translate customer needs into product features and compelling benefits — essential to delivering solutions that resonate in the market and secure long-term competitive advantage. You will be mentored by senior product managers and, in turn, support them on technical, analytical, and operational work while you build your own product strategy skills.
