What you will do

Own user and product discovery for next-generation Plaud AI devices, deeply understanding professional workflows, unmet needs, user behavior, and market opportunities.
Define the complete product experience from first principles: start with user value, define the required AI and software experience, then derive the device capabilities and hardware requirements needed to make that experience possible.

Develop product theses, target users, key scenarios, value propositions, interaction models, product concepts, and success metrics for new AI devices and major product iterations.

Work closely with AI, Software, HCI, Industrial Design, Hardware Engineering, and Shenzhen Hardware Product teams to turn experience requirements into coherent system-level product definitions.

Continuously validate product assumptions through users, prototypes, AI tools, experiments, usage data, and post-launch feedback, and use those insights to guide future products and portfolio strategy.

What you need

Minimum Qualifications

Proven ownership of at least one successful 0-to-1 consumer technology, connected-device, wearable, audio, smart hardware, or similar product.
Exceptional product sense and user insight; able to explain not only what was built, but why the product should exist and which user problem it solved.
Strong understanding of software and AI products, including how AI capabilities, software workflows, services, and subscriptions affect the value proposition of a physical device.
Sufficient hardware systems knowledge to work effectively with engineering and reason about trade-offs across form factor, sensors, audio, connectivity, compute, battery, latency, reliability, and cost.
Strong ownership, structured thinking, communication, and ability to make high-quality decisions under ambiguity.

Required Tech/Soft skills

Product / AI:

User research and product discovery

AI product and workflow understanding

End-to-end experience definition

Strong product prioritization and trade-off judgment

Ability to translate product experience into device capabilities and system requirements

Soft skills:

High ownership and low ego

Excellent communication and storytelling

Strong cross-functional influence without authority

Bias toward action and rapid validation

Nice to have

Experience building products that combine device + app/software + AI/cloud service + recurring revenue or subscription.
Strong track record serving North American professional or consumer users.
Experience in AI-native interaction, voice interfaces, agents, wearables, audio, ambient computing, or next-generation HCI.
Founder, early startup team, or zero-to-one product-team experience is highly valued.
Demonstrated AI-native working style, including active use of LLMs for research, prototyping, specification, analysis, and product exploration.
