Your playground isn't just commercial trucks; it encompasses all areas of ground transit and local waterways.

Key Responsibilities

1. Cross-Functional Leadership & "Across-the-Aisle" Collaboration

• Bridge the Gap: Act as the primary translator between customer-facing Sales teams (commercial realities) and hardware/software Engineering teams (technical constraints).
• Synthesize Requirements: Transform fragmented feedback from the field into clear, prioritized Market Requirement Documents (MRDs) and Technical Product Requirements (PRDs).
• GTM Alignment: Partner closely with Sales and Marketing to develop Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, technical training materials, and value-proposition messaging.

2. Product Lifecycle & Future-Proofing

• Lifecycle Management: Manage products from concept to End-of-Life (EOL), making critical "Make vs. Buy vs. Partner" decisions to optimize speed-to-market.
• Enhance & Scale: Audit existing product lines to identify performance bottlenecks, updating legacy systems to ensure long-term reliability and modern cloud/HW compatibility.
• Documentation: Maintain clear, scannable product roadmaps, release notes, and validation criteria.

3. Strategic Innovation & Megatrend Tracking

• Technology Scouting: Serve as the subject matter expert on where safety and compliance technology is heading across ground transportation and local marine/waterway environments.
• Tech Stack Convergence: Drive the integration of multi-modal systems, including:
  • Computer Vision & AI: Edge-based cameras for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), driver behavior monitoring, and blind-spot detection.
  • Radar Technology: Short- and long-range radar for robust collision warning in all weather conditions.
  • Recording & Telemetry: Ruggedized, multi-channel mobile DVRs/NVRs.
  • Connected Cloud/SaaS: Real-time video streaming, OTA (Over-the-Air) updates, and fleet compliance analytics platforms.

4. Direct Customer Engagement

• Voice of the Customer (VoC): Regularly get out from behind the desk to join Sales on high-stakes customer visits, fleet pilots, and industry conferences.
• Technical Credibility: Confidently present product capabilities, handle technical objections, and lead deep-dive discovery sessions directly with enterprise fleet operators and OEMs.

Role Requirements & Qualifications

Technical Competencies

• Deep Domain Knowledge: Proven experience managing or engineering complex hardware-plus-software systems. Direct experience with automotive vision systems, radar integration, CAN bus/J1939 data, or ruggedized electronics is highly preferred.
• SaaS & Cloud Familiarity: Clear understanding of how edge devices interact with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure), including data protocols, video streaming constraints, and cellular/SaaS pipelines.
• Analytical Frameworks: Ability to use structured, data-driven frameworks (e.g., weighted scoring matrices) to justify roadmap prioritization and feature trade-offs.

Professional Experience & Soft Skills

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Technical Project Management, or Applications Engineering—ideally within the automotive aftermarket, commercial fleet, transport, or maritime safety spaces.
• The "Everyday Teacher" Mentality: Ability to distill highly complex, technical concepts (like electromagnetic interference, AI false-positive rates, or signal synchronization) into simple, high-impact explanations for non-technical stakeholders.
• Executive Presence: High emotional intelligence, exceptional presentation skills, and the confidence to command a room whether speaking to a software engineer, a salesperson, or a C-level executive at a customer site.

Education & Experience Requirements

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree: Required in a technical or business discipline. Highly preferred fields include:
  • Engineering: Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Automotive/Robotics Engineering.
  • Business/Tech Fusion: Management Information Systems (MIS) or a related technical management degree.
• Advanced Credentials (A Plus, but not a hard barrier):
  • Graduate Certificates or Coursework in Engineering Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or Advanced Vehicle Systems.
  • MBA or Product Management Certifications (e.g., Pragmatic Institute, Scrum Alliance Product Owner) that demonstrate formal training in market validation and commercial strategy.

Professional Experience

• 5+ Years of Industry Experience: Minimum 5 years of professional experience across roles such as Product Management, Technical Project Management, Systems Engineering, or Applications/Field Engineering.
• Domain Expertise: At least 2–3 years spent working directly with hardware-plus-software (IoT) ecosystems, ideally in one of the following sectors:
  • Automotive aftermarket or commercial fleet telematics.
  • Industrial safety, mass transit, heavy machinery, or marine/waterway electronics.
  • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), video telematics, or radar systems.
• Cross-Functional Track Record: Proven experience successfully managing products through conflicting priorities—balancing the short-term customization needs of Sales against the long-term architectural stability required by Engineering.
• Customer-Facing Success: Demonstrated background leading technical discovery sessions, managing pilot deployments, or presenting product roadmaps directly to high-value enterprise clients, fleet managers, or tier-1 partners.
