MAIN FUNCTION:
Lead the product strategy and execution for the Workstation portfolio. This role focuses on defining high-performance, compact, and ruggedized computing platforms designed for decentralized AI inference, professional visualization, and industrial automation. Act as the bridge between R&D, industrial design, and external silicon partners (e.g., NVIDIA) to deliver market-leading hardware that thrives in environments outside traditional data centers.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent technical field (Technical background is essential).
- 7+ years of experience in Hardware Product Management, with specific expertise in Workstations, IPC (Industrial PC), or Embedded Systems.
- Strong analytical skills for market trend forecasting and competitive benchmarking.
- Proven track record of managing complex NPI (New Product Introduction) cycles and BOM management.
- Strong understanding of NVIDIA RTX professional GPU roadmap and AI acceleration at the edge (e.g., TensorRT, CUDA).
- Familiar with industrial certifications (MIL-STD, IP, CE/FCC) and long-lifecycle product management, enabling informed decision-making and cross-functional coordination.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical features into business value.
- Ability and willingness to travel about 10%.
WORKING CONDITIONS:
Work environment characteristics are representative of those generally encountered while performing the essential functions of this job.
KEY RELATIONSHIPS:
