Job Description

About the Role

Axiado is hiring a Director of Product Management to own the product strategy, roadmap, and market success of its Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) and Platform Intelligence Controller (PIC) silicon portfolio for data center and AI infrastructure. You will lead product managers and work with architecture, design, firmware, software, operations, and sales to define chips that win design-ins with hyperscalers, AI cloud providers, and server, switch, and ODM partners, and carry them from concept through tape-out and volume ramp.

Location: San Jose, CA (onsite)

What You'll Do

• Own the TCU and PIC roadmap. Define multi-generation silicon and module roadmaps, positioning, and PPA (power, performance, area) and cost targets for AI data center platforms.
• Own the MRD-to-PRD process. Author and maintain MRDs and PRDs, partner with architecture, RTL, verification, firmware, and software teams to turn them into tape-out-ready specifications, and stay close through bring-up and launch.
• Define AI-driven platform features. Prioritize on-chip AI for security, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), and thermal management, and quantify value in per-rack energy savings, security posture, uptime, and TCO.
• Win design-ins. Engage hyperscalers, AI cloud providers, server OEMs/ODMs, and switch vendors early; align products to data center standards such as OCP, DC-SCM/DC-MHS, OpenBMC, and Redfish.
• Own the P&L. Take full profit-and-loss responsibility for the product business, including pricing, volume forecasts, gross margin, and NRE/ROI.
• Lead go-to-market. Launch evaluation kits, reference designs, and demos, and position against incumbent BMC and root-of-trust solutions.
• Build and lead the team. Hire and develop product managers; present strategy and risks to executives, the board, and key customers.

Qualifications

What You'll Bring

• 12+ years in product management or technical marketing, with 8+ years on silicon products (SoC, ASIC, or standard ICs) and 5+ years in data center silicon or systems (BMCs and platform controllers, root-of-trust or security silicon, SmartNICs/DPUs, power and thermal ICs, switches, or accelerators).
• At least two chips taken from concept through tape-out and volume production, with measurable design-win or revenue results.
• Design-in experience with hyperscale, cloud, or Tier-1 server and network OEM/ODM customers.
• Working knowledge of server platform management (BMC, secure boot and attestation, PCIe, Redfish, OpenBMC) and rack-level power and thermal challenges.
• P&L ownership for a product line or business, plus experience authoring MRDs and PRDs and building pricing models (NRE, ASP, margin).
• 3+ years leading product managers; strong executive and customer communication.
• BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a related field; MS or MBA preferred.
