Company mission
To make a billion sensors intelligent by 2030.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in product management within semiconductors, AI chips, embedded systems, or deep-tech environments
- Proven track record in end-to-end product lifecycle ownership, ideally with hardware-software integration
- Strong grasp of go-to-market strategy, including customer value framing and feedback integration
- Experience working with or close to AI/ML systems (e.g., edge inference, NPUs, sensor analytics)
- Ability to interface confidently with engineering, research, and commercial stakeholders
- Excellent communication skills, you can synthesize complexity and drive alignment
- Strong problem-solving and prioritization instincts in ambiguous environments
- Entrepreneurial mindset: comfort with ambiguity, urgency, and resource constraints
- Ability to extract the right inputs across teams to define a clear, focused product direction
Desirable
- Background in microcontrollers, low-power chip design, or neuromorphic computing
- Exposure to embedded AI workloads, on-chip learning, or energy-efficient architecture design
- Familiarity with productization cycles in automotive, wearables, IoT, or industrial sensing
- Experience with customer engagements, roadmap selling, and early-stage feedback loops
- Technical literacy in tools such as Jira, Confluence, or requirements traceability platform
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a strategic and execution-focused Product Manager to own and evolve our product roadmap
- In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of AI innovation, hardware design, and real-world application, turning abstract ideas into market-ready products
- This position requires a hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset, and the ability to lead across ambiguity
- You’ll be responsible for defining product direction, aligning with internal research and architecture teams, and ensuring our offering is grounded in real customer value
- Ownership and development of the product roadmap for Innatera’s next-generation neuromorphic AI chip platforms
- Product vision definition and translation of complex internal innovation into a clear product scope
- Product direction alignment with internal research, chip architecture, and engineering roadmaps
- Gathering and synthesizing inputs from customers, partners, and sales teams to drive strategic product definition
- Evaluation and prioritisation of opportunities through business case development and stakeholder alignment
- Full product lifecycle management, from concept through development to go-to-market
- Collaboration with cross-functional teams to shape value propositions, launch plans, and messaging
- Support of competitive positioning and long-term product differentiation in target markets
- Creation of feedback loops that inform iteration and long-term roadmap planning
Our take
Innatera is a company developing ultra-low-power neuromorphic AI chips for sensor technology. Essentially, this means it is trying to instil sensors with a human-like ability to perceive their surroundings, by mimicking the mechanisms that the brain uses for sensory perception.
Sensors powered by Innatera's tech should be able to enact real-time analysis of data to detect and identify embedded patterns. For example, they would be able to distinguish spoken words in audio data. This, of course, represents an impressive development and the next generation of sensors.
Another impressive feat is that Innatera's chips require very little power, which is why they can be employed at the sensor edge. With a myriad of potential applications, it's no surprise the company has raised substantial funding which will be used to accelerate its progress and drive further innovation.
