Product Manager: AI Hardware & Chip Design Innovator

Normal Computing Corporation; New York (NY); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Normal Computing is an applied AI company building foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, with teams across New York City, Silicon Valley, London, Copenhagen, and Seoul. We seek an early-career Product Manager to partner with the Product Lead and engineers to design and deliver the AI systems and autoresearch platform for our ASIC team.

You’ll write specs, run experiments, and prototype fixes, taking ownership from idea to tapeout.

Qualifications

• A degree in CS, EE, physics, math, or similar, or the equivalent taught to yourself.
• 1-3 years of experience in product management, engineering, research, technical program management, or a related technical role.
• You can point to something that was your idea and that you made real.
• Fluency with coding agents. You already use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or something similar as a normal part of how you work.
• Experience building or evaluating LLM-powered products.
• Clarity of communication in both speaking and writing.
• Comfort with ambiguity. Much of what you work on will be underspecified. You should be able to take a vague problem, frame it, and come back with a proposal.
• Interest in how chips are designed.

Responsibilities

• AI tooling scope: Investigate where the ASIC team's time actually goes, decide what we build, then be accountable for whether it gets used.
• Specs and prototypes: Write the requirements docs and user journeys that engineering builds from. Where a working prototype communicates faster than a document, build the prototype instead.
• Prototype to production: Work with engineers to turn a promising prototype into something the ASIC team can rely on.
• Shipping small changes: Work in the codebase with coding agents, open PRs for bug fixes or UI changes, learn from code reviews from engineers, and develop judgment about which changes are yours to make.
