About the Role

HPE Networking is seeking an experienced and highly technical Product Management leader to define and execute the vision for the next generation of AI-native, self-driving wireless networks.

The ideal candidate combines deep wireless networking expertise with a passion for AI-driven operations and a relentless focus on customer outcomes.

Technical Product Leadership

• Partner closely with engineering and architecture teams to define product requirements and deliver innovative capabilities.
• Contribute technical expertise in enterprise WLAN, cloud-managed networking, RF technologies, network automation, and troubleshooting.

• Drive development of capabilities that prevent misconfigurations, improve network resiliency, and automate operational workflows.

AI, Automation & Observability

• Champion the use of AI and machine learning to improve network operations, troubleshooting, remediation, and optimization.
• Define product capabilities focused on predictive insights, automated root-cause analysis, anomaly detection, and intelligent recommendations.
• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to deliver practical, customer-focused solutions that advance self-driving network operations.

Cross-Functional Execution

• Influence and align stakeholders across Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, Support, and Go-to-Market teams.
• Serve as a technical thought leader and trusted advisor across the organization.
• Prioritize initiatives based on customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in Product Management, Network Engineering, Technical Product Leadership, or related roles.
