General Summary:

Join Qualcomm’s rapidly expanding Data Center Business Unit as a Director of Product Management, where you will shape the future of AI-driven data center solutions. You’ll lead cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end system-level innovations—from custom AI accelerators to full-stack software and rack-scale systems—driving performance, efficiency, and scale for hyperscale and enterprise customers.

Key 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.
