About the Role:

As a Hardware Technical Product Manager, you will craft compelling physical and digital product experiences to delight our customers.

Before Motive, we built products at Amazon, Google, GoPro, Meta/Oculus, Twitter, and Uber. At Motive, we solve a real-world problem and not a virtual world problem. We are here to do the best work of our life, and we hope you are too.

What You'll Do:

  • Craft a compelling physical and digital product experience to delight our customers.
  • Deliver a multi-year hardware roadmap leading to the best IoT device portfolio for the fleet telematics industry
  • Own the vision and execution of the hardware and the corresponding firmware capabilities.
  • Set and articulate the product's vision, and get buy-in from our CEO, CPO, and CTO.
  • Drive new hardware projects from ideation through implementation and launch, focusing on excellent execution
  • Balance technical tradeoffs such as installation experience, size, compute, battery, connectivity to deliver a winning solution.
  • Continue to build additional value by optimizing the user experience of over 500K+ hardware devices in the field.
  • Collaborate across multiple products, engineering, and go-to-market teams to ship the products that our customers would love

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of product management experience with expertise in launching hardware products from concept to launch.
  • You have solid experience with the hardware product development cycle and embedded systems experience
  • You have high "EQ" and the ability to handle multiple competing priorities and tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • You are curious about a new market where you don't have first-hand experience. You work diligently to understand customers' mindsets in a new market and enjoy delivering delightful experiences quickly.
  • You are comfortable and confident sharing your thoughts in verbal or written form. You can engage constructively in debate and discussion with different personality types and seniority levels.
  • You are a trailblazer who is humble, kind, and open to learning new stuff. You can take a stand, yet commit even when you disagree. You have a strong bias to action (aka hustle) and are not afraid to get your hands dirty.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with launching hardware products with volumes of over 100K+ units
  • Familiarity with telematics, cellular-connected devices, GPS systems, low power wireless technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy, and/or automotive protocols such as CAN, OBD-II, J1939
  • Experience with full-stack IoT products, hardware, firmware, and expertise in developing software features on mobile or cloud platforms
  • BA/BS in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science/Industrial Design/Mechanical Engineering/Embedded Systems, or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
  • Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is one of Motive's core values. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
  • Please do not let an arrest or conviction record prevent you from applying for employment at Motive. Motive considers qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
