Forward-Deployed Product Manager

Normal Computing builds foundational software and hardware that support the semiconductor industry and critical AI infrastructure. The Forward-Deployed Product Manager will work closely with strategic semiconductor partners to ensure product success, from initial discovery to scaled adoption, while shaping the future of Normal's product offerings.

Responsibilities:

• Be the product leader for our most critical customers. Take ownership of product success across the full engagement from early discovery through scaled production adoption, ensuring that Normal EDA product platform becomes embedded in production chip design workflows and delivers measurable impact
• Trusted thought partner. Earn trust at the highest levels of our customer organizations - not as a vendor, but as the person who understands their business well enough to build for it. You'll set the product vision for what Normal can become inside their organization and be accountable to deliver it
• Lead opportunity discovery. Lead with a clear point of view, not just a list of questions. Diagnose how our customers and product users operate, identify where Normal EDA can meaningfully shift outcomes, and translate that insight into product hypotheses. Define new use cases and product surfaces, and work closely with our forward-deployed engineering team to turn validated hypotheses into delivered product capabilities
• Shape Normal’s product roadmap. Distill customer insight into structured product direction and prioritization. Separate one-off constraints from systemic opportunities and directly shape how Normal EDA evolves as an end-to-end AI platform for chip design
• Scale what proves itself. Once something works, you'll make it repeatable, helping the broader team build on what you've learned. Turn successful engagements into repeatable patterns and durable platform capabilities that compound over time
