Metrologic Group delivers cutting-edge industrial solutions for 3D measurement and quality control. We help our customers solve complex metrology challenges by combining independent 3D measurement software, advanced hardware, and custom electronics. As part of the Sandvik Group, we’re building a unified offer that connects machining and quality assurance to enable a smarter, more transparent production chain.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the next chapter of the evolution of our metrology software product line (X4, iRobot, Silma...)—highly successful over the years, rich in functionality portfolio used in manufacturing environments, metrology labs, and industrial settings worldwide. This role is critical in unlocking the portfolio’s untapped potential and driving its transformation into a customer-centric, scalable, and modern solution offering.

As the software operates as a part of an integrated hardware system, experience working with such systems is highly valuable, as you’ll need to understand the interplay between physical devices and digital functionality to shape product strategy effectively.

• Coach and enable the team of product specialists and technical experts in product management best practices, portfolio thinking, and commercial orientation.

• Act as the voice and advocate of the customer internally and face of the product externally gathering feedback and validating customer needs.
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to define GTM strategies and collecting market / competitive intelligence
