AI & HPC

Software & Hardware Product Manager focused on defining and delivering software capabilities for firmware lifecycle management, rack-scale operations, and power/thermal optimization across HPC and AI infrastructure. Responsibilities Lead and drive the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for AI and HPC software management capabilities, including firmware, rack, and power management domains. Define customer value propositions and business outcomes for reliability, uptime, energy efficiency, and operational simplicity across Cray EX, ProLiant, and AI Factory deployments. Translate market and field requirements into product requirements for firmware lifecycle workflows (upgrade orchestration, rollback, policy controls, compliance tracking). Own rack management software requirements spanning rack-level health, telemetry, inventory state, fault isolation, and automated remediation workflows. Define and prioritize power management capabilities, including power capping, thermal-aware scheduling, workload-to-power policy alignment, and datacenter efficiency reporting. Partner with engineering to align software architecture and release sequencing across iLO, system firmware, rack management controllers, and cluster management platforms. Collaborate with PMM, sales, and solutions teams to create technical enablement content, reference architectures, and customer-facing narratives for power-efficient AI/HPC operations. Drive lifecycle governance across plan, build, launch, sustain, and end-of-life phases, ensuring roadmap clarity and measurable adoption outcomes. Establish KPI frameworks for product success, including firmware compliance rates, mean time to recovery, rack-level incident reduction, and power utilization effectiveness indicators.
