We are seeking an experienced Technology Marketing Sr. Director to lead our Technical marketing strategy, market intelligence and competitive analysis for compute platforms. This role will be pivotal in shaping our product narrative and influencing product direction based on deep workload understanding, market insights and competitive understanding.

Job Description

• Drive workload analysis programs (e.g., for Agentic AI) to support silicon product planning, articulating their impact and implications for system architecture from a market and competitive perspective. This involves understanding how future roadmap features or system capabilities, particularly those enabled by next‑gen hardware (e.g., advanced power management, on‑device LLMs running on xPU, new I/O features), can be leveraged for market advantage.
• Lead market intelligence and competitive strategy for our compute platforms, focusing on workload‑driven differentiators and emerging industry trends.
• Lead Competitive Benchmarking Program Management partnering with internal and external engineering labs to directly support product marketing and sales teams in positioning our offerings against competitors.
• Develop and maintain an "always‑live" tech and IP marketing deck, serving as a comprehensive and up‑to‑date resource for internal and external communication of our technical value proposition and intellectual property.
• Proactively monitor the competitive landscape, including roadmaps, detailed technology comparisons, and cost analyses, to identify market opportunities and potential threats.
• Collaborate closely with internal hardware architects, SoC software teams, and product teams to translate complex technical capabilities into compelling, market‑facing narratives.
• Interact with external partners (OS vendors, IP partners, OEMs) to gather market insights, understand use‑case requirements, and influence our technology strategic priorities.
• Serve as the product level authority on competitive technology and market trends within the compute platform space.

Main Requirements and Qualifications

• BS / MS / or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 15+ years of experience in product marketing, technical product management, competitive intelligence, or technology strategy roles within the client/compute platform industry (e.g., Intel, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia).
• Strong ability to engage in technical discussions with experts on areas such as memory subsystems, interconnects, I/O subsystems (PCIe, USB, display/graphics interfaces), and power/thermal constraints, and to understand their market implications.
• Demonstrated experience in defining market requirements and communicating technical value propositions for complex compute systems.
• Capability to guide teams on competitive analysis, market sizing, and technology trend identification.
• Excellent cross‑functional communication and presentation skills to influence senior executive teams, internal stakeholders, and external partners on technology direction and strategy.
• Openness and patience to work with geographically dispersed teams with diverse backgrounds.
• Based in San Jose, with a willingness to support up to 25% international travel.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience at a CPU or compute platform company (e.g., AMD, Intel, Apple, Arm, NVIDIA, Qualcomm) in a senior product marketing, competitive intelligence, or technical product management role.
• Experience working with multiple OS ecosystems (e.g., Windows + Linux + ChromeOS) from a market positioning perspective.
• Experience mentoring or leading technology marketing or competitive intelligence teams.

Why Join Us

• You’ll be at the forefront of shaping the market narrative and driving the competitive positioning for cutting‑edge compute platforms, translating advanced hardware and software into compelling customer value.
• This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role working at the intersection of technology, market strategy, and business growth on bleeding‑edge platforms.
