Principal Product Manager, Personal Devices

About the role

The next generation of personal devices will not be defined by incremental spec improvements. They will be defined by bold hardware bets that unlock entirely new customer experiences. Sensors that perceive context. Form factors that defy convention. Silicon and system architectures purpose-built for an AI-native world. We are pushing these boundaries, and we need a product leader who can see around corners and ship what’s next.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end product roadmap from early concept through mass production, making disciplined trade-offs across compute, AI, graphics, performance, cost, power, and time-to-market.
• Drive the technology scouting and selection process Evaluate emerging components (chipsets, displays, sensors, batteries, connectivity modules) and make high-conviction bets on the technologies that will define the next product generation.
• Lead cross-functional execution across hardware engineering, industrial design, operations, supply chain, and software teams, ensuring tight integration from silicon to system to experience.
• Navigate deep technical and business ambiguity — structuring complex trade-off decisions (e.g., BOM cost vs. capability vs. schedule vs. customer hero features) with analytical rigor and sound product judgment.
• Champion the customer experience throughout the hardware development process, ensuring that every component choice, material selection, and design decision ladders up to a cohesive, delightful product that customers reach for every day.
• Influence senior leadership with compelling product definition docs grounded in customer insight, competitive analysis, technology trends, and business-case rigor.
• Raise the bar on hardware product craft across the organization, setting standards for meticulous attention to detail, technical depth, design excellence, and operational discipline.
