Dolby’s consumer entertainment and cinema businesses are bringing Dolby’s breakthrough technologies, powering the world’s top movies, TV shows, music, games, and live sports to more places around the world across a wider range of consumer experiences and devices.

As a Senior Product Manager, you will help define and drive the future of immersive and interactive entertainment across Smart/AI Glasses, audio wearables (true wireless earbuds/headphones), and head‑mounted displays (XR devices). This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, technology, and business leadership, with end‑to‑end ownership of a portfolio that enables Dolby XR audio and video experiences for consumers.

You will shape the roadmap that brings Dolby’s immersive technologies to life on next‑generation XR devices—guiding concepts from early innovation through launch and scale.

You’ll combine deep subject‑matter expertise with strategic vision, working collaboratively across the organization while operating with a high degree of autonomy.

You are energized by pushing the boundaries of immersive media and interactive experiences. You are curious by nature, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and motivated by turning complex technology into compelling products. You can dive deep with research and engineering teams when needed, while consistently elevating discussions through strong product judgment, business acumen, and long‑term thinking.
