• Technical collaboration — Influence technical architecture and participate in engineering discussions on embedded systems and wireless protocols.

• Leadership influence — Present roadmap updates, product value, and key results to executives and global functional leaders.

• Coach and mentor — Develop and grow other product managers on the team, expanding their scope and capabilities.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of product management experience in consumer hardware, networking devices, or smart home categories.

• Proven track record of shipping successful physical products in markets with technical complexity and UX sensitivity.

• Ability to write clear, structured documents including PRDs, user stories, MRDs, and business cases.

• Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate product management work across research, writing, prototyping, analytics, and monitoring.

• Exceptional collaboration and influence skills across cross-functional teams including Engineering, Industrial Design, and Marketing.
