About the Role

We’re looking for a Hardware Product Manager with a focus on deployment and installation to lead the global roll-out of our next-generation hardware products. This is a hands-on, field-informed role where you’ll take ownership of new product readiness—from testing and release planning to real-world deployment and installation.

You’ll be at the intersection of product, engineering, logistics, and customer-facing teams, helping ensure that new hardware is tested, assessed, and deployed effectively. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on bringing structure to complexity, enjoys field work, and wants to help shape how products move from prototype to full-scale production.

The Ideal Candidate

You’re a self-starter who enjoys working hands-on with hardware while also building structure and scalable processes.
