Requirements
- 7+ years of product management experience with deep ownership of hardware-enabled systems.
- Experience with embedded systems and hardware-software integration.
- Full hardware phase ownership experience: PRD through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production.
- Direct accountability for system-level requirements and cross-device trade-offs.
- Strong technical foundation in perception and sensing technologies (cameras, radar, thermal, BLE beacons, audio).
- Ability to translate real-world functionality into complex cross-device system requirements.
- Proven ability to work fluently with hardware, firmware and software engineers on technical requirements, constraints, and system-level trade-offs.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to produce clear, durable system requirements, technical PRDs, and trade-off analyses for engineering and leadership.
- Experience with safety-critical or regulated device environments (UL2560/UL 1069, FDA, FCC, or medical device standards) (bonus).
- Experience in healthcare, senior living, or clinical settings (bonus).
- Familiarity with AI/ML applied to on-device sensing data, telemetry anomaly detection, or perception pipelines (bonus).
Responsibilities
- Define and maintain system-level requirements and architecture across all current hardware and future devices.
- Serve as the authoritative voice on how devices collaborate, communicate, and fail gracefully together.
- Lead discovery on new and existing hardware types, partnering with hardware, software and commercial teams to evaluate sensing technologies and device configurations.
- Assess technical feasibility and regulatory constraints, and tie recommendations directly to business expansion opportunities.
- Own product programs from PRD kick-off through Concept, EVT, DVT, PVT, and into mass production.
- Drive hardware-phase requirements, gate decisions, and cross-team alignment at each milestone.
- Identify integration gaps, reliability risks, and cross-device dependencies before they become field issues.
- Surface concrete, well-reasoned trade-off recommendations to engineering leadership.
- Work closely with the implementation team to translate real-world deployment constraints into product requirements.
- Quickly triage when systems behave unexpectedly in the field.
- Use AI as a daily multiplier for spotting patterns in device telemetry, generating PRDs, and maintaining knowledge base.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware engineering, firmware, software, mobile, and Data & AI teams, as well as Implementation, Clinical Success, and Operations.
