About the Role:

We are not solving a small problem, and we’re not addressing a small market. We are addressing significant issues faced by trillion-dollar industries that power the physical economy, including logistics, transportation, food & beverage, plumbers, HVAC, construction, and oil & gas. These businesses continue to be the lifelines of our economy even during the COVID pandemic. The opportunity here is enormous, and you will have a massive impact.

As an Internet of Things (IoT) Device Product Manager, you will craft compelling physical and digital product experiences to delight our customers and deliver a multi-year hardware roadmap leading to the best IoT device portfolio for the fleet safety and telematics industry.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the vision and execution of our safety and telematics hardware and the corresponding software and firmware capabilities.
  • Set and articulate the product's vision, and get buy-in from our CEO, CPO, and CTO.
  • Drive new projects from ideation through implementation and launch, focusing on excellent execution across hardware, firmware, web, and mobile platforms.
  • Balance technical tradeoffs such as installation experience, size, AI computing, battery, and connectivity to deliver a winning solution.
  • Continue to build additional value by optimizing the user experience of over 1M+ hardware devices in the field.
  • Collaborate across multiple products, engineering, and go-to-market teams to ship the products that our customers would love
  • Define and analyze performance metrics to measure the success of our products in the market.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 6+ years of product management experience with expertise in launching hardware products from concept to launch.
  • You have solid experience with full-stack IoT products, hardware product development cycles, embedded systems, and expertise in developing software features on mobile or cloud platforms
  • You have high “EQ” and the ability to handle multiple competing priorities and tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • You are curious about a new market where you don’t have first-hand experience. You work diligently to understand customers' mindsets in a new market and enjoy delivering delightful experiences quickly.
  • You are comfortable and confident sharing your thoughts in verbal or written form. You can engage constructively in debate and discussion with different personality types and seniority levels.
  • You are a trailblazer who is humble, kind, and open to learning new stuff. You can take a stand yet commit even when you disagree. You have a strong bias to action (aka hustle) and are not afraid to get your hands dirty.
  • Experience with launching hardware products with volumes of over 100K+ units is a huge plus.
  • Familiarity with Edge AI, camera technology, telematics, cellular-connected devices, GPS systems, low-power wireless technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy, and/or automotive protocols such as CAN, OBD-II, J1939
  • BA/BS in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science/Industrial Design/Mechanical Engineering/Embedded Systems, or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
