Principal Product Manager (Hardware)

Join Lambda, a leading provider of AI infrastructure. As a Principal Product Manager (Hardware), you will own the decision-making process for our GPU fleet lifecycle, working directly with NVIDIA and ODM partners. You will define our hardware roadmap, drive new platform introductions, translate demand into investment, and turn silicon into sellable products. This role requires a deep understanding of GPU hardware and systems, as well as strong product management experience.

• Posséder la décision d'achat, de configuration et d'expédition du matériel, en gérant le cycle de vie de la flotte de GPU en tant que produit.
• Définir la feuille de route du matériel, en spécifiant les configurations des nœuds et des clusters, et en travaillant avec l'ingénierie des infrastructures pour garantir des performances optimales.
• Traduire les signaux de demande des clients et les données de référence en recommandations d'investissement pour la flotte, et défendre ces recommandations auprès des dirigeants.
• Influence means you take that idea and get others to want to buy into it; you win over engineers, designers, executives, and partners without relying on authority
• Insight means you look at the data, determine what it means for customers and business, and then figure out what to do about it
• Execution means you work with the right people to get the idea launched, then measure and iterate
• We hire product managers who learn new domains fast and reason rigorously from evidence
• If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for this role
• That is where influence comes in
• But, a great idea doesn’t mean anything in a vacuum
• Great product managers at Lambda are defined by three things: insight, influence, and execution
• Deep background in GPU hardware, systems, or the semiconductor ecosystem are also desired
• But a great idea that everyone is excited about doesn’t matter unless it is delivered to customers
• We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team
• Have made hardware, capacity, or fleet investment recommendations that committed significant capital under uncertainty, and can walk through how the decision played out
• Write documents that lead with the conclusion and the evidence, not the background
• Have 7+ years of product management experience on technical infrastructure, hardware, systems, or platform products; senior candidates should bring 10+ years and ownership of a multi-team or multi-product roadmap
• Are fluent in technical conversations with hardware and systems engineers, and comfortable discussing GPU architectures, interconnects, memory, and data center constraints
• Able to define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome
• Turn data and customer signal into a clear decision about what to build next, and can walk through examples where you saw the what and the so what, and determined the now what
• Have a track record of getting engineers, executives, and external partners to adopt a plan because you made them want to, not because you outranked them
• Have shipped products that required coordinating hardware, software, and operations teams against hard external deadlines
• Have direct experience in GPU or accelerator hardware, or systems and HPC (high-performance computing) product management
• Have worked inside the semiconductor or original equipment manufacturer (OEM)/ODM ecosystem, or directly with NVIDIA or another silicon vendor on roadmap alignment
• Have owned cloud infrastructure capacity planning or fleet economics
• Have hands-on familiarity with distributed training infrastructure, including InfiniBand fabrics and NCCL
• Have run benchmark programs and used the results to drive buy or configure decisions
