The role partners with cross-functional teams including software engineering, quality/compliance, customer support, and sales to deliver reliable, safe, and developer-friendly SDK releases.

Work covers embedded software stacks (compilers, firmware, RTOS, Linux), runtimes, and developer tools for RISC-V/MIPS-based systems.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 10+ years software engineering (technical lead on multiple projects) and 3+ years product management experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include product strategy, backlog ownership, and delivery coordination across hardware and software domains.

• Develop and manage product roadmaps aligning processor capabilities, regulatory requirements, and business objectives.
• Serve as Product Owner: define user stories, prioritize backlog, lead sprint planning, and run sprint reviews to deliver scheduled releases.
• Collaborate with software teams on API designs, versioning, release cadence, performance targets, and quality standards.
• Establish developer feedback loops and advocate for external and internal developer needs.
• Coordinate with Customer Support and Sales to align product capabilities with customer requirements and use cases.
• Drive adoption by producing sales collateral, documentation, and training materials for the Atlas SDK.
• Ensure SDK and runtime systems meet functional-safety standards and regulatory requirements; integrate safety requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
• Follow and support Environmental, Health, Safety & Security programs in all activities.

• Strong technical fluency in instruction set architectures, C/C++ compilers, RTOS, Linux, and AI runtime environments.
• Background in safety or mission-critical industries (automotive, medical, industrial) with familiarity with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
• Experience with embedded operating systems such as INTEGRITY, VxWorks, ThreadX, or QNX.
• Hands-on experience with board support packages (BSPs), device drivers, and middleware frameworks.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and experience translating complex technical concepts for diverse audiences.
• Experience creating developer-facing documentation, training materials, and sales support collateral.

Nice-to-have: deep familiarity with RISC-V/MIPS processors, real-time compute subsystems, and both open-source and commercial software solutions.
