  • Practical software development experience, with the ability to understand program logic, APIs, system architecture, and software dependencies, and to discuss technical approaches, constraints, and issue diagnosis with developers.
  • Experience independently writing a Product Requirements Document or equivalent specification, and the ability to explain problem definition, solution evaluation, trade-offs, and acceptance methods.
  • Familiarity with Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar tools, and the ability to maintain a backlog, issues, sprints, and development progress.
  • Understanding of software systems, APIs, and basic Cloud/Edge architecture concepts, and ability to discuss feature behavior, dependencies, and acceptance criteria with developers.
  • Ability to write technical documentation for developers, Sales, partners, and customers in audience-appropriate ways.
  • Ability to coordinate across departments and resolve conflicts, advancing discussion and making recommendations amid conflicting requirements, limited resources, or incomplete information.
  • Working proficiency in English, including reading technical documents, writing specifications and email, and participating in meetings with overseas teams.
  • Ability to adapt to a fast-changing product development environment and understand changes in AI, IoT, and Edge Computing technologies and translate them into product decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct requirements interviews and market and competitor analysis for assigned product modules to clarify customer problems, use cases, and product requirements.
  • Evaluate requirement value, technical cost, and dependencies against the WEDA roadmap, and recommend requirements and prioritization for inclusion in releases.
  • Independently produce Product Requirements Documents covering problem definition, use cases, feature scope, acceptance criteria, and out-of-scope items.
  • Lead specification reviews, consolidate input from the WEDA product lead, developers, system architects, and other stakeholders, and advance specifications to developer-ready handoff.
  • Maintain the product backlog, specification versions, and change records to keep product behavior, technical documentation, and release content consistent.
  • Track development schedules and issues for assigned modules, including team deliverables, acceptance status, and dependencies.
  • Identify scope, schedule, and technical risks and recommend actionable priority, resource, or release-scope adjustments.
  • Review progress, risks, and pending decisions regularly with the WEDA product lead and ensure major issues are addressed promptly.
  • Lead cross-functional Feature Freeze and pre-release reviews, consolidate test results, outstanding work, and release risks, and recommend release readiness.
  • Track post-release usage feedback and issues and turn implementation findings into inputs for the next roadmap and backlog.
  • Plan Edge AI Applications for WEDA, including AI development environments and deployable application solutions, defining use cases, supported platforms, product value, and priorities.
  • Establish lifecycle management for Edge AI Applications from proposal, evaluation, and validation through release, version updates, and end of maintenance.
  • Define application acceptance and release standards covering feature completeness, hardware compatibility, AI accelerator support, software dependency versions, deployment methods, and documentation completeness.
  • Work with developers, system architects, system engineers, and ecosystem partners to integrate, validate, and release applications on different Edge AI hardware platforms.
  • Evaluate and review third-party applications for release, ensure product descriptions match actual capabilities, and clarify quality, maintenance, and technical support responsibilities between the company and partners.
  • Collect application usage data, customer feedback, and operational issues to inform portfolio adjustments, version updates, and retirement decisions.
  • Plan Edge AI reference projects in verticals such as smart manufacturing and energy management, defining use cases, demonstration objectives, technical scope, and acceptance criteria.
  • Work with development, system architecture, or system engineering teams to deliver demo sites and proof-of-concept projects, defining scope, coordinating resources, managing progress, and accepting results.
  • Translate implementation findings, technical limitations, and customer feedback from reference projects into product improvements and future-version plans.
  • Help define product positioning and value propositions for assigned modules, and produce or collaborate on sales kits, product presentations, release notes, FAQs, and competitor comparisons.
  • Support Field Application Engineers, Sales, and Business Development in clarifying customer requirements and translating customer scenarios into assessable product requirements or planning topics.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with AI, IoT, Edge Computing, developer platforms, or software development frameworks.
  • Understanding of Docker, Open Container Initiative images, image layering, Kubernetes, and basic concepts of hybrid Cloud and Edge deployment.
  • Experience managing releases of container images, software packages, or third-party applications, including listing reviews, version management, and lifecycle maintenance.
  • Basic familiarity with Edge AI hardware ecosystems such as NVIDIA Jetson/CUDA, Intel OpenVINO, AMD ROCm, Qualcomm QNN, or NXP.
  • Experience working with ecosystem partners and defining quality and support responsibilities between platform providers and partners.
  • Experience leading reference projects, proof-of-concept projects, New Product Introduction, or software release processes.
  • Hands-on experience maintaining technical documentation platforms such as Wiki or Docusaurus.
