Technical Software Product Manager - Power/Performance and On-Device Experiences

Lead the product strategy, design, and execution for an enterprise, commercial, and consumer end-user application focused on PC power optimization, battery health, and performance tuning. Own the definition and integration of on-device AI agents that analyze user behavior, system telemetry, and application workloads in real time to dynamically balance device longevity with peak computing performance.

Responsibilities

• Define the product vision and multi-year roadmap for the desktop optimization suite.
• Translate complex silicon telemetry into intuitive, actionable user interface dashboards.
• Design seamless user workflows for switching between automated AI tuning and manual control.
• Establish application success metrics for active user engagement and churn reduction.
• Write comprehensive Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) for local machine learning models.
• Specify reinforcement learning rewards that maximize hardware efficiency without lagging.
• Define the triggers for AI agents to proactively recommend background app hibernation.
• Ensure local on-device inference executes with zero audible fan noise or thermal throttling.
• Prioritize engineering backlogs for real-time application-sensing telemetry pipelines.
• Collaborate with QA to validate battery-saving metrics across diverse hardware form factors.
• Monitor application footprint to guarantee the software itself uses minimal CPU, GPU, NPU, and DRAM.
• Manage user data privacy guardrails for all local profiling and behavioral analytics.
