SpiNNcloud Systems is a deep tech spin-off from the Chair of Highly-parallel VLSI Systems and Neuro-microelectronics at the Technische Universität Dresden. We provide highly-parallel and real-time computing capabilities to empower our customers with the third generation of AI-driven systems. Our unique combination of statistical AI and brain-like computing advances real-time AI applications to an unprecedented large-scale and with an extremely high energy efficiency.
The Role
We are hiring a Product Manager or Senior Product Manager to own the end-to-end lifecycle of our AI inference product direction. This includes market discovery and competitive intelligence, requirements definition, roadmap execution, and go-to-market readiness. You will partner closely with Engineering and Research and collaborate with Marketing and Sales to translate technical differentiation into clear product narratives and measurable customer value.
Key Responsibilities
- Market research & strategy
- build a sharp understanding of the AI inference and LLM market (buyer needs, adoption patterns, evaluation criteria, and emerging trends)
- identify high-value segments and use cases where we can win (cost, performance, latency, throughput, energy, deployment model, etc.)
- Competitive & ecosystem analysis
- maintain an up-to-date view of competitors and alternatives (chips, systems, cloud offerings, and inference stacks)
- translate competitive insights into positioning, requirements, and roadmap priorities
- Requirements & roadmap ownership
- work with Engineering and Research to define product requirements, milestones, and success metrics
- drive roadmap prioritization with clear tradeoffs and rationale
- ensure execution stays connected to customer needs and measurable outcomes
- GTM + sales enablement
- partner with Marketing on messaging, launches, and content strategy
- support Sales with enablement assets: pitch narratives, competitive battlecards, FAQs, case studies, and evaluation guidance
- Technical storytelling & content
- create crisp, credible technical content (blogs, whitepapers, solution briefs, product docs, and presentations)
- articulate “why we win” clearly to technical and business stakeholders
- Hands-on analysis
- use data to drive decisions: analyze benchmarks, workload characteristics, and performance/efficiency tradeoffs
- build lightweight Python tools/scripts to validate assumptions and support product decisions
Qualifications
The more of the following qualifications you bring, the stronger the fit for this role:
- Strong semiconductor and accelerator expertise, including familiarity with GPUs and TPUs, and an understanding of how customers evaluate hardware and system trade-offs such as performance, throughput, latency, deployability, and operational efficiency.
- Strong machine learning depth, ideally supported by a university degree/PhD or significant experience in ML, AI systems, or a related area, with a solid understanding of ML concepts and inferencing.
- Demonstrated ability to translate technical insight into product strategy, including segmentation, positioning, differentiated requirements, and roadmap prioritization.
- Proven effectiveness working with Engineering and Research teams in technically complex environments, driving alignment, trade-offs, and execution.
- Basic programming proficiency and comfort working with technical artifacts.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical narratives and enablement content for internal and external audiences.
- High ownership and strong stakeholder management, with the ability to drive decisions, align cross-functional teams, and deliver outcomes.
