Senior Product Manager (Silicon)

Tropic Square is a deep-tech company developing the world's first transparent, auditable security chip.

We have successfully built TROPIC01, a transparent security chip demo validated by industry leaders such as Trezor. Now, we are embarking on our most ambitious mission: building TROPIC02. This is not a SaaS product. This is a piece of silicon that will take three years to develop, cost millions to tape out, and redefine hardware security for the next decade.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who can bridge the gap between our visionary founders, deep-tech engineers, and the global B2B market.

What you'll do

• Own the TROPIC02 Product Family Roadmap: You'll translate high-level vision and customer requirements into detailed product requirements for the engineering team. You define what we build and for whom

• Market Validation (Market Making): You won't wait for the chip to exist. You'll talk to CTOs and Security Architects of potential enterprise customers (IoT, automotive, edge computing) now to validate features, present demos and secure LOIs

• Roadmap Discipline: In silicon, missing a tape-out window costs millions. You'll own the high-level roadmap, ensuring we hit critical milestones (architecture freeze, tape-out, certification)

• Ecosystem & Open Source: You'll define not just the hardware, but the ecosystem around it (SDKs, documentation, open source strategy) that makes the chip usable for developers

• Strategic Alignment: You'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with our founders to ensure the product stays true to our core values of transparency and freedom
