Responsibilities

• Work with key customers and ecosystem partners to integrate our security solutions into broader system architectures.
• Act as the primary bridge between hardware engineering, software/firmware teams, security architects, and business stakeholders.
• Ability to critically prioritize product backlogs, balance technical debt with commercial features, and make tough trade-offs between area, power, performance, and security (PPAS).
• Author comprehensive Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and technical specifications that translate complex cryptographic standards into actionable hardware engineering requirements.
• Define and drive the multi-year product roadmap for hardware security IPs and cryptographic solutions, aligning with market trends and customer requirements.
• Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify customer needs, market opportunities, and industry trends related to Post-Quantum Cryptography for platform security and hardware accelerators.
• Define product requirements, features, and roadmaps for our entire product portfolio of hardware products based on customer feedback, market insights, and latest technology developments.
• Work closely with tech leads and sales to align product roadmaps.
• Measure product performance utilizing data from internal and other data sources.
• Continuous improvement of our product development processes.

Requirements
