Summary of Role: For decades now, software developers have been struggling with the debug process, meeting schedules, achieving performance targets, and managing complexity caused by technology consolidation in advanced SoCs. We are fixing that. MIPS Atlas Tools and Services bring SoC architects, hardware engineers, and software engineers together to build better products. One piece of this is Atlas Explorer, a software development platform that enables customers to analyze, optimize, and validate workloads pre‑RTL across the Atlas compute subsystems (Sense/Think/Act). The other is our engagement portal where teams come together to learn, explore, design, and configure compute subsystems. These solutions deliver the core technology that engineering teams need to make data-driven design decisions well ahead of tape-out. Our goal is simple, to help our customers build better products, with more confidence, faster. As the Product Owner, you will own the roadmap and backlog, translating market and customer requirements into clear, prioritized work items that our engineering teams can deliver. You will be the connective tissue between semiconductor platform IP development, performance modeling, platform engineering, and software developers responsible for delivering a world class developer experience and actionable insights that accelerate customer time‑to‑value. Essential Responsibilities: Own the Product Feature Backlog: Define, prioritize, and continuously groom epics, features, and user stories, balancing customer impact, strategic differentiation, and technical feasibility. Shape the Roadmap: Build and maintain a rolling 12–18 month product roadmap aligned with MIPS Atlas IP plans, customer needs, and key design‑in opportunities. Represent the User: Drive deep understanding of target users (embedded SW engineers, SoC architects, CI/CD owners) through usage analytics, and beta programs; convert insights into requirements and measurable outcomes. Ship Value Frequently: Run agile ceremonies (refinement, sprint planning, review) with cross‑functional teams to deliver incremental value such as new performance reports, experiment workflows, and Python API capabilities. Elevate Developer Experience (DX): Deliver a best‑in‑class DX for both client and cloud solutions. Frictionless onboarding, low-effort experiments, insightful reports, sharable comparisons, and secure collaboration. Data-Driven Prioritization: Define success metrics per feature (adoption, engagement, time‑to‑insight, report share rate) and use telemetry to iterate quickly. Support Customer Programs: Coordinate early‑access/co‑design with strategic customers and partners; manage feedback loops and product communications (release notes, enablement, demos). Go‑to‑Market Readiness: Collaborate with Product Marketing on value proposition driven by problems solved, key capabilities, and figures of merit. Compliance & Quality: Ensure features meet security, privacy, and reliability standards for enterprise customers (role‑based access, tenancy, auditability). Familiarity with SOC 2, export control (EAR/ITAR) or IP protection requirements is a bonus. Collaborate: Build close partnerships with Architecture, Performance Engineering, Cloud Platform, Security, and Solutions Engineering. AI/ML Literacy: Familiarity with AI workflows and inference optimization and understanding how AI-assisted tooling can enhance developer experience. Data Visualization & Analytics: Experience with data visualization best practices or tools that translate complex performance data into clear decision-support artifacts. Platform Ecosystem: Experience managing developer platforms with extensibility models (plugins, SDKs, API ecosystems) that enable third party or customer-driven integrations. Shift-Left & Pre-Silicon Methodology: Understanding of shift-left verification/validation methodologies, virtual prototyping, or pre-RTL performance modeling workflows. Other Responsibilities: · Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs. Required Qualifications: 10+ years in software engineering having led teams or held a technical leadership role. Emphasis is on understanding the semiconductor industry where experience could vary from simulation and compilers to system software or cloud services. 5+ years in product management, product ownership, or product delivery role. Working across teams, boundaries, and geography is required. Strong fluency with modern development practices, ensuring teams are writing what they will do before they do it and running effective and efficient release trains. Predictability is particularly important. Technical depth in one or more areas: system software, software performance and profiling, RISC‑V/CPU micro‑architecture concepts, user experience and user growth, IP and SoC power and performance, DevOps and automation. Experience with service-oriented architecture and cloud services (APIs, identity, usage analytics). Exceptional communication skills and stakeholder management across engineering, customers, and go-to-market teams. Key Performance Indicators (first 12 months) Activation & Time‑to‑Insight: % of new workspaces completing first experiment and reaching first sharable report within target SLA. Feature Adoption: Usage of top 3 priority features (e.g., comparison reports, advanced filters/regex, Python API in CI). Retention & NPS: Monthly active teams, workspace retention, and user NPS from design partners and GA customers. Throughput & Quality: On‑time delivery rate for roadmap commitments; defect escape rate and support ticket volume per release. Revenue Influence: Qualified opportunities influenced by trials/betas; expansion within existing accounts. Expected Salary Range $191,000.00 - $363,000.00 The exact Salary will be determined based on qualifications, experience and location.
