Silicon & Systems Technical Product Manager

Positron Corporation

3d • $200,000 - $350,000 • Remote

About The Position

Positron AI is seeking a technical product planning leader to define its silicon and systems product line, encompassing everything from accelerator architecture to full rack-scale inference systems. This individual will be responsible for deciding what the company builds, the rationale behind those decisions, and effectively communicating them to engineering, go-to-market teams, and customers. The role involves writing PRDs that shape the hardware roadmap, translating customer and market insights into engineering requirements, and maintaining the analytical foundation (performance modeling, competitive analysis, cost and efficiency calculations) to support these requirements. The position operates at the intersection of detailed silicon knowledge and practical cloud-scale deployment realities, offering significant influence over product direction.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience across a strong mix of silicon and systems technical disciplines.
• Deep expertise in silicon or systems engineering and architecture (AI accelerator, CPU/GPU, networking, or memory systems), with direct ownership of feature, PPA, or architecture trade-offs.
• Hands-on experience with cloud scale server and computing systems deployments, including power and cooling envelopes, rack integration, networking, fleet-wide telemetry, and failure and RMA workflows.
• Strong command of performance analysis spanning silicon and systems, including roofline modeling, bandwidth utilization, and $/GB and perf/W arithmetic, with the ability to build and defend the math personally.
• Proven ability to move quickly between low-level silicon detail and rack scale system behavior, paired with a habit of staying current on the AI hardware landscape.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with comfort navigating uncertainty and driving a deliberate process of idea and decision socialization.
• Comfortable being the most technically grounded person in a go-to-market room and the most market-aware person in an engineering room.
• Demonstrated daily, hands-on use of agentic AI in real technical work, including building and running agent workflows for research, analysis, and drafting requirements, with the judgment to verify and own everything the agents produce.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with OEM and ODM needs, including reference designs, compliance, and hardware qualification cycles.
• A background in AI inference systems competitive landscaping and analysis, either at an AI hardware startup or an incumbent AI hardware systems provider.
• Prior experience defining SKU strategy and product lifecycle for a hardware platform sold into hyperscale or enterprise data center environments.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the leader at Positron AI for all aspects of silicon and systems technical product planning.
• Write PRDs for inference servers and inference rack systems, covering silicon architecture, CPU and memory, and rack-scale system design.
• Define and manage the product lifecycle and SKU strategy across generations.
• Create scope and feasibility frameworks to convert advanced technology ideas and innovations into tangible, actionable engineering requests.
• Partner with engineering and go-to-market teams to build and communicate a coherent product roadmap.
• Work closely with go-to-market teams to understand customer and market needs, and translate them into product direction.
• Own the decision history for the product line, acting as the documented answer to "why did we choose X," including with executive leadership.
• Create and maintain competitive briefings covering the AI inference hardware landscape.
• Engage key supply chain and technology partners to understand their technology roadmaps and factor them into our planning.
• Ensure our hardware and systems products are thoroughly and accurately documented.
• Streamline and automate product planning processes using agentic AI, scaling your own output through agent workflows.

Benefits

• Fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents
• Company-paid life and disability coverage, with voluntary options to add more
• Supplemental hospital, critical illness, and accident coverage available
• Unlimited paid time off, and we encourage everyone to truly unplug and recharge
