About the role

Efficient's patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks.
This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years.
This role sits at the intersection of architecture, silicon engineering, software, applications, and customer engagement by translating market and customer insight into actionable silicon product decisions.

Define and own the silicon product roadmap, from near-term tape-out requirements to multi-generation platform strategy, based on customer requirements, competitive positioning, and architectural opportunity.
Own the Market Requirements Document (MRD) process.with tradeoffs and ownership explicitly documented.
Partner with engineering to define performance targets, power envelopes, memory architecture, interface requirements, and feature prioritization for each product generation.
Lead customer discovery and requirements-gathering for silicon and IP capabilities.
Represent Efficient's silicon in technical customer discussions, evaluation engagements, and design-win conversations.
Partner with the Software PM on hardware-software co-design requirements and ensure silicon and IP roadmap decisions support a usable and scalable developer experience
Own competitive analysis, benchmarking strategy, and product differentiation narrative.
Define platform requirements, including silicon, development systems, evaluation kits and reference designs, to enable customer adoption and successful deployment.
Strong cross-functional leadership across architecture, design, verification, software, and applications teams, with the ability to drive alignment and make decisions without always having formal authority

Own the cross-functional product review process and ensure tradeoff decisions are made explicitly, documented, and communicated as well as provide clear product direction when tradeoff decisions are required.
7+ years of experience in semiconductor product management, silicon architecture, or related technical leadership roles with direct ownership of product requirements, roadmap, and customer engagements
Experience managing at least one full silicon product cycle from requirements definition through customer sampling, including spec ownership and tradeoff decisions
Experience with MCUs, embedded AI processors, DSPs, FPGAs, spatial computing architectures, or dataflow accelerators
Experience with silicon benchmarking methodology and competitive analysis in the edge AI or embedded compute space
Experience with compiler-hardware co-design or hardware-software interface definition for novel compute architectures

We offer a competitive salary for this role, generally ranging from $180,000 to $210,000, along with meaningful equity and comprehensive benefits.

Efficient offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, including 401K match, company-paid benefits, equity program, paid parental leave, and flexibility.

Ability to establish credibility with silicon architects, hardware engineers, and technically sophisticated customers through clear thinking, genuine technical depth, and accurate product judgment
We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to grow together as people and as a company.
