The Company
-----------
MIPS Computer Systems is a fast-growing startup with about 75 people
focused on designing, manufacturing, and marketing high-performance
RISC-based computer system components. Over the 18 months since the
company was founded, we have made substantial progress towards our goal
of bringing exciting, new price/performance breakthroughs to the computer
industry.
What's high performance? For starters, imagine the power of a VAX 8600(*)
on a single CPU board. For the future, imagine a lot more . . .
We are targeting OEM customers in the workstation, multi-user UNIX,
communications, and other market segments that require the next big
performance jump over processors like the 68020 and 80386.
Our technical design expertise emphasizes four areas:
o Full-custom VLSI CMOS Chip Design
o Board / System Design [VMEbus, Multibus II]
o Optimizing Compilers [C, Pascal and Fortran initially]
o UNIX(*) [both System V and BSD]
Current Product Marketing Openings
----------------------------------
Since our product development and sales efforts are proceeding quite well,
the time has come to increase staffing in critical, related areas like
Product Marketing. Open positions within the Product Marketing group include
Hardware Product Manager and Software Product Manager.
These Product Managers will be responsible for managing the technical marketing
aspects of a line of RISC-based hardware and software products, including
development of product requirements and strategy, competitive analysis,
collateral and sales support material, forecasting, pricing, and major
account interaction. These highly visible positions interface closely with
the engineering, VLSI, manufacturing and sales organizations, as well as
top management.
General Requirements
--------------------
o 3 to 4 years technical product management experience
o Demonstrated ability to carry products through from conception to
introduction (start-up product marketing experience is a big plus)
o 32-bit microprocessor / CPU board / system exposure
o Excellent written and verbal communication skills
o A practical, working understanding of UNIX (*) desirable
o BSEE or BSCS (MBA preferred)
Typical Areas of Involvement
----------------------------
Software Product Manager
o System V.2.1/V.3 / 4.3 UNIX issues
o Networking (Ethernet, Sun's NFS)
o Datacomm requirements analysis
o Software development tools
o Third Party Referral opportunities:
- Additional compilers (Cobol, Ada, Lisp, ??)
- Application packages
Hardware Product Manager
o High-performance system issues:
- parallel processing architectures
- high bandwidth I/O buses
- next generation disk controllers
o High-performance floating point issues
o Next generation CPU requirements definition
o Leveraging MIPS technology into other platforms
o System performance characterization
MIPS offers excellent benefits including start-up equity participation.
