The Staff, Product Data Manager (PDM) joins the AI Platforms & Systems Solutions team to define end-to-end hardware-software solutions for next-generation on-device and hybrid AI experiences. You will own the product strategy, definition, and lifecycle for AI platform products and specifications, specifically focusing on the Windows AI ecosystem. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing plans of record, managing schedules and budgets, and translating emerging trends into defensible roadmaps for AI/ML model enablement, agentic systems, and orchestration runtimes. You will utilize technical knowledge of DirectX, WinML, OpenCL, and GGML, while working with frameworks like llama.cpp and Ollama. The role solves complex problems regarding inference performance, quantization, and interoperability across local AI accelerators like CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs to deliver scalable, high-performance edge AI products.

What you'll do

  • Own the product strategy, definition, and lifecycle for AI platform products and specifications.
  • Develop and execute plans of record including schedules, budgets, resources, deliverables, and risks.
  • Define requirements for Windows-based AI/ML model enablement, agentic frameworks, and orchestration runtimes.
  • Author and evolve technical specifications and standards in partnership with industry bodies and ecosystem partners.
  • Translate customer feedback and competitive intelligence into actionable roadmap changes for senior leadership.
  • Deliver complex technical presentations on product roadmaps to customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.
  • Market new products and technologies through developer events, conferences, and direct customer engagement.
  • Oversee cross-functional development to ensure engineering teams meet agreed KPIs and conformance criteria.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of Product Management or related work experience.
  • Deep fluency in the Windows edge-AI stack and ability to translate AI/ML trends into product roadmaps.
  • Hands-on experience delivering Windows-based AI products using local accelerators (CPU, GPU, or NPU).
  • Detailed understanding of edge AI APIs/DDIs and SDKs (e.g., DirectX, WinML, OpenCL, GGML).
  • Knowledge of AI middleware (llama.cpp, Ollama, AnythingLLM) and LLM/VLM performance trade-offs on edge devices (preferred).
  • Experience authoring technical specifications, protocols, or industry standards (preferred).
  • 10+ years of Product Management or related technical work experience (preferred).
