Senior Director, AI Product Management - Data Center

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is seeking a Senior Director of Product Management for their expanding Data Center Business Unit. The role involves leading cross-functional teams to deliver innovative AI-driven data center solutions and managing the product strategy for AI-centric platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for AI-centric data center platforms and rack-level systems, including compute nodes, interconnect fabrics, power delivery, and cooling subsystems
• Lead market analysis to identify AI workloads and emerging system-level trends (e.g., large language models, inference at scale, rack-scale orchestration)
• Collaborate with silicon architects, systems engineers, firmware and software teams to translate market and customer needs into detailed product requirements and rack-level integration specifications
• Engage directly with hyperscale cloud providers, enterprise customers and strategic partners to gather feedback, co-develop proofs of concept, and drive early deployments of rack-scale AI clusters
• Partner with marketing and sales leadership to craft compelling value propositions, competitive positioning, launch plans and go-to-market collateral
• Mentor and grow a high-performing team of product managers, fostering a culture of innovation, customer obsession, and rigorous decision-making
• Track product performance post-launch—covering system-level metrics like power efficiency, thermal headroom, and network utilization—iterating on features, pricing, and lifecycle management to maximize ROI and market share

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, Humanities, or related field
• 10+ years of Product Management or related work experience
• Ph.D. in Computer Architecture, Data Center Systems, Machine Learning Systems or related field
• Direct experience with AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch), compilers and optimization toolchains
• Familiarity with emerging data center trends such as disaggregated architectures, DPUs, or AI inference at the edge
• Patent filings or technical publications in AI accelerator design, high-performance interconnects, rack-scale architectures or thermal/power management
• 12+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years focused on data center or AI infrastructure
• Deep system-level knowledge of AI accelerators, CPU/GPU architectures, interconnect fabrics (PCIe, CXL, UAL), memory hierarchies, storage subsystems, and rack-level system design (power delivery, cooling, cabling, rack orchestration)
• Demonstrated success defining and launching complex silicon-plus-software AI products and rack-scale solutions in collaboration with cross-functional development teams
• Proven ability to engage with C-level executives and engineering leads at hyperscale cloud providers or tier-1 enterprise customers
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable with financial modeling, market sizing, and competitive benchmarking
• Excellent communication and storytelling abilities—able to translate technical detail into clear business impact
• Track record of leading and mentoring product management teams, fostering career growth and cross-functional collaboration
