Xiaomi Bets Big on AI Education With New Hiring Push
Chinese tech powerhouse Xiaomi is making waves in the education technology space with a series of strategic hires focused on artificial intelligence applications for K12 learning. The company recently listed multiple high-profile positions that reveal ambitious plans to integrate AI into children's educational experiences across its product ecosystem.
Building Smart Learning Experiences
The most eye-catching role is the Senior Product Manager for Children and Education, offering salaries between ¥26,000 and ¥50,000 monthly. This position will shape how young learners interact with Xiaomi's "people-car-home" ecosystem through smartphones, tablets, smart speakers and even vehicle displays.

To bring Xiaomi's educational offerings into classrooms and homes across China through innovative distribution channels.
This dual approach reflects current edtech trends where hardware innovation meets curriculum integration. "The magic happens when great technology finds its way into actual learning environments," notes Dr. Li Wen, an education technology researcher at Beijing Normal University.

- Over 150,000 curriculum-aligned lessons
