Job description

We are looking for a highly passionate, self-driven, hand-on and analytical product manager who pushes the boundaries of what is possible.

Our Company

Invision AI is building a universal AI platform for computer vision applications. Powered by a unique multi-camera stack that generates high-integrity 3D digital twins of dynamic environments, our technology powers disruptive, market-leading solutions in intelligent infrastructure and global

Transportation.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to take complete ownership of our flagship Vehicle Occupancy Detection (iVOD) product—a high-precision system that consistently outperforms global competitors in independent testing.

You will own the complete product lifecycle from end to end, bridging high-level strategy with physical hardware selection, edge software deployment, and hands-on client delivery.

If you thrive at the intersection of complex hardware, edge AI, and field execution—and love the challenge of building real-world mechatronic systems that shape smart transportation—keep reading.

What you will do

Product & Systems Architecture:

• Maintain and evolve the iVOD roadmap by fusing customer feedback with state-of-the-art developments in computer vision and edge computing.

• Drive mechatronic and hardware specification, including component selection for vision sensors, auxiliaries, illuminators, Lidars, and industrial computers.

• Own vendor and supplier relationships, managing technical negotiations and procurement for hardware integration.

• Oversee execution across the entire system stack: hardware design, edge AI, cloud infrastructure, and user-facing web dashboards.

Project Delivery & Field Execution

• Serve as the main technical bridge for end-customers, driving clear communication, documentation, project scoping, and deployment planning.

• Lead field testing, roadside commissioning, and real-time operational feedback loops to continually elevate system performance in complex real-world environments.

• Develop training materials and onboard internal personnel and external partners on system installation and commissioning.

Team Leadership & Operations:

• Run daily stand-ups and monthly product reviews to align cross-functional engineering teams around execution targets.

• Serve as the internal and external go-to subject matter expert for all things iVOD, mentoring team members as the product line expands.

• Support executive leadership in drafting technical grant applications, progress reports, and RFP/RFI responses.

Must Have

• Master or PhD in Mechanical, Electrical or Computer Engineering with a focus on mechatronics

• Solid Experience in Computer-Aided Design (preferably SolidWorks)

• Experience with physical sensor selection (LiDAR, optical, illumination) and embedded system integration

• Solid industry experience in one of these domains: intelligent transportation systems (ITS), robotics, automotive or embedded systems

• Experience with Python or similar programming languages

• Systems Engineering knowledge and technical documentation, and experience working with suppliers and integrators

• Field engineering experience (including installation of components) or experience running mechatronic demos in front of customers/clients (beyond internal lab tests)

• Leadership and project management capabilities

• Strategic Planning and Operational Execution Skills

• Collaborative and Strong Communication Skills

• Open to travelling for work (minimum 4 weeks per year)

Bonus Skills

• Hands-on with mechanical and electrical tools, and experience with manufacturing and fabrication processes
