Efficient's patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform's unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution\n\nThis role turns Efficient's product strategy into the technical evidence and evaluation experience customers need to adopt our platform, and keeps product requirements and customer commitments connected to engineering execution.\n\nThis is an intentionally broad role on a small, high-leverage Product team. Our Senior Product Managers own strategy and positioning for silicon and software; this role owns the cross-portfolio work that spans them, including the platforms and solutions through which customers evaluate and adopt our products.\n\nYou will own real artifacts rather than meetings: the datasheet, the benchmark report, the competitive teardown, the evaluation kit market requirements, the requirements conformance record, and vertical product content.\n\nWe are hiring this role as a growth opportunity, with a deliberate first-year ramp. You are not expected to arrive as the deepest expert in every domain this role touches. You are expected to learn quickly, ask technically credible questions, and bring the right people together to reach a clear decision or produce a clear deliverable.\n\nKey responsibilities\nBuild technical evidence\nOwn customer-facing technical content, including datasheets, product briefs, application notes, benchmark reports, and developer materials. Personally produce the highest-value content and build scalable workflows for contributions from Engineering, Applications, and external resources.\nMaintain a competitive view through product teardowns, benchmark methodology, and system-level analysis that informs Product, Sales, and executive decisions. Maintain it continuously.\nPartner with Marketing Technologies to build interactive tools that help customers evaluate energy, performance, and system fit.\nProvide evidence and analysis that inform positioning decisions owned by the Senior Product Managers.\nProductize the evaluation experience\nDefine product-readiness criteria for evaluation and reference platforms, including hardware, software, documentation, examples, known issues, and shipment readiness.\nDrive platform lifecycle and revision decisions with Engineering and Operations, balancing customer need, readiness, cost, and component availability.\nPartner with Engineering, Applications, Sales, and Operations on internal execution and customer delivery.\nProtect product intent through execution\nMaintain the authoritative Product record for customer and partner engagements, including commitments, deliverables, acceptance criteria, decision dates, and scope changes.\nIdentify divergence between product requirements and engineering execution, maintain traceability, and drive issues to explicit decisions.\nOwn selected cross-portfolio requirements and analyses that do not belong exclusively to the silicon or software roadmap.\nSupport vertical uses case\nAssist team members to build the market, customer, competitive, and requirements evidence for selected verticals.\nWork with Applications to rollout supporting technical content for target verticals\nRequired qualifications\n\nWe care about what you have demonstrated, not the title you did it under. Many of the strongest candidates for this role are applications engineers, technical marketing engineers, or field engineers working adjacent to a product management function. Product management experience is welcome but not required.\n\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.\n4+ years in semiconductors, embedded systems, or a related hardware and software platform business, in applications engineering, technical marketing, product management, or another customer-facing technical role.\nDemonstrated end-to-end ownership of substantial customer-facing technical content or analysis: identifying the need, producing the work, and shipping it, rather than reviewing someone else's draft.\nExperience working directly with customer engineering teams and translating technical findings into product, requirements, or content decisions.\nTechnical depth to understand datasheets, reason about system-level tradeoffs, and work credibly with hardware and software engineers.\nEvidence of using tools, automation, or analysis to solve a problem you identified, such as benchmark automation, power or performance modeling, competitive analysis, test tracking, documentation generation, or customer configuration tools. Production software-engineering experience is not required.\nComfort operating across breadth, ambiguity, and shifting priorities, and the judgment to know what to escalate.\nWillingness to travel for customer, partner, and industry engagements.\nPreferred qualifications\n\nStrong candidates typically bring depth in at least one of the following, not all of them.\n\nApplications or systems engineering with substantial customer engagement and technical writing.\nTechnical or product marketing with credible engineering depth and hands-on experience with the products you wrote about.\nEvaluation hardware or platform ownership, including requirements, component selection, cost and performance tradeoffs, and design assets for customer sampling.\nSemiconductor product management with hands-on analytical or automation skills.\n\nAdditional useful experience includes microcontroller or processor products and design-ins; compilers, SDKs, firmware, runtimes, or AI/ML deployment frameworks; building technical content workflows from the ground up; benchmarking and energy or performance characterization; and tools such as Jira, Confluence, GitHub, and Notion.\n\nWe offer a competitive salary for this role, generally ranging from $160,000 and 200,000 along with meaningful equity and comprehensive benefits. The final compensation package will be based on your experience and location, with some flexibility to ensure we align with the right candidate.\n\nWhy Join Efficient?\n\nEfficient offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, including 401K match, company-paid benefits, equity program, paid parental leave, and flexibility. We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to grow together as people and as a company.","company":"Efficient Computer","rawCompany":"efficient computer","city":"San Jose","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-27T07:48:12.907Z","occupations":[{"code":"11-2021.00","title":"Marketing Managers","slug":"marketing-managers"},{"code":"13-1082.00","title":"Project Management Specialists","slug":"project-management-specialists"},{"code":"11-3051.00","title":"Industrial Production Managers","slug":"industrial-production-managers"}],"industries":[{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"334111","title":"Electronic Computer Manufacturing","slug":"electronic-computer-manufacturing"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Product Manager","description":"Efficient is developing the world's most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor.
