The posting

Who We Are

Xpanner is redefining construction by empowering the people who build our world. We retrofit heavy machinery with easy-to-use software and Physical AI, tackling critical safety and productivity challenges on the ground. Through our subscription-based automation model (AaaS), we deliver task-specific, field-ready solutions that immediately maximize jobsite efficiency without massive upfront hardware costs. Backed by top-tier global venture capital and optimized by the industry's largest physical dataset, we are actively transforming renewable energy and infrastructure projects today. We don't just build abstract concepts— we put real, practical solutions to work in the field.

About the Team

The Hardware team builds the retrofit automation kits, sensors, and hydraulic/electronic control systems that turn existing heavy equipment into field-ready automated machines for utility-scale solar and broader construction markets.

What You’ll Do

How you’ll make impact:

You will serve as the bridge between the jobsite and engineering, owning field discovery, product requirements, and launch execution for Xpanner’s retrofit automation kits and machine interfaces.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Lead field discovery with customers, operators, field teams, and sales to translate jobsite pain points into clear product requirements and automation opportunities.
  • Drive end-to-end product ownership for retrofit automation kits, identifying opportunities across heavy equipment automation and construction workflows.
  • Define requirements for retrofit kits, machine interfaces, sensors, hydraulic/electronic controls, and field installation processes.
  • Manage the complete hardware product lifecycle, from PoC planning and field validation through launch readiness and issue prioritization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and field engineers and Software & Data Platform PMs—to align technical feasibility with commercial impact.
  • Enable commercial launch and growth through business cases, ROI logic, product documentation, training materials, sales enablement, and field feedback loops.

What You’ll Bring

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years in hardware product management across machinery, industrial or construction equipment, robotics, vehicles, or automation systems.
  • Strong customer-facing skills and willingness to spend time in the field.
  • Ability to translate customer problems into clear product requirements and technical discussions.
  • Strong execution mindset with experience managing timelines, risks, stakeholders, and trade-offs.
  • Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites, workshops, and field deployments.
  • Founder’s mentality: Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable building processes in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with heavy equipment, hydraulics, CAN, GNSS/GPS, machine guidance, sensors, or control systems.
  • Experience in construction, solar, infrastructure, energy, mining, agriculture, or industrial automation.
  • Experience launching hardware, robotics, or field-deployed products.
  • Experience with retrofit or aftermarket equipment integration.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Join a fast-growing company helping modernize one of the world’s largest industries through construction automation and intelligent equipment technology.
  • Play a foundational role in a high-growth U.S. operation, where you will have direct ownership in building, scaling, and optimizing processes across the organization.
  • Drive high-impact initiatives by partnering closely with cross-functional teams and leadership in a dynamic, unified environment.
  • Competitive salary, performance incentives, retirement plan, and flexible work environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
