You'll own hardware products end to end — from component and architecture decisions through production launch — across the automotive, trucking, defense, construction, mining, and agriculture industries. This is an important role where you will drive both strategy and execution, working closely with engineering, supply chain, and OEM customers to ship hardware that performs reliably in the field.

Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to prioritize impactful deliverables across the product development lifecycle
Own key technology and supplier partnerships — including component vendors, Tier-1 suppliers, and contract manufacturers — and drive build vs. buy vs. partner decisions
Partner with business development and marketing on customer pitches, go-to-market positioning, and pricing for hardware products
Work directly with OEM customers to gather feedback and ensure the product roadmap stays aligned with real-world production and deployment needs
Partner with program management and operations to track hardware milestones, costs, and quality through the full product lifecycle

We're looking for someone who has:

5+ years of experience in Product Management, with a focus on hardware products
Experience at an automotive, trucking, defense, or other OEM, or at a supplier building hardware products for them
A track record of shipping hardware products to production, including navigating prototyping, validation, and manufacturing ramp
Strong technical background with understanding of and/or hands-on experience in electrical or mechanical engineering
BS/MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent required
Experience managing external partners, suppliers, or contract manufacturers
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

Experience with sensing platforms (LiDAR, Radar, Cameras), embedded compute, or vehicle integration hardware
Experience working with Tier-1 automotive or defense suppliers
Familiarity with hardware product development processes (PDP) and PLM/BOM tooling
