Product Manager

Byron Center, MI
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Our client is hiring a Technical Product Manager to own the roadmap for that portfolio: what gets built next, what gets sunset, and how the tech stack holds up as the product line scales.

    What you'll do

    • Sit between Sales and Engineering. Turn field feedback and customer asks into actual product requirements docs (MRDs/PRDs), not just notes
    • Own products from concept through end of life, including make-vs-buy-vs-partner calls
    • Audit legacy product lines for performance issues and modernize them for current cloud and hardware standards
    • Drive integration across computer vision/AI, radar, DVR/NVR recording, and cloud SaaS telemetry systems
    • Join Sales on customer visits, fleet pilots, and industry conferences. Present roadmap and handle technical objections directly with fleet operators and OEMs

    What you need

    • 5+ years in Product Management, Technical Project Management, or Applications Engineering, ideally in automotive aftermarket, commercial fleet, transport, or maritime safety
    • Hands-on experience with hardware-plus-software systems. Automotive vision systems, radar integration, CAN bus/J1939 data, or ruggedized electronics experience is a strong plus
    • Working knowledge of how edge devices talk to cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure): data protocols, video streaming constraints, cellular/SaaS pipelines
    • Comfortable using structured frameworks (weighted scoring, etc.) to justify roadmap decisions to stakeholders
    • Track record presenting technical roadmaps directly to enterprise clients, fleet managers, or tier-1 partners
    • Bachelor's in Engineering, Computer Science, MIS, or related technical field. MBA or product certs (Pragmatic, CSPO) are a plus but not required
