Job summary

the company in San Mateo, CA is seeking a Lead Product Manager to own the Security Trailer Product line and turn-key edge deployments. You will drive strategy, pricing, and partner channels for a hardware-plus-software platform that operates in unwired environments.

You will collaborate with manufacturing and field teams to improve reliability, cost, and serviceability, and you will travel to install sites to gain firsthand product insight.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in hardware, IoT, or connected-device products.
• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
• Proven history of launching and scaling hardware and embedded-systems products. Strong customer intuition, technical depth, and ability to navigate tradeoffs are critical in this role
• Working knowledge of power systems (solar, batteries, PoE) and networking fundamentals (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi, WAN failover, SIM/carrier management), plus foundational knowledge of firmware, device bring-up, and hardware design
• Ability to build platform and recurring-revenue business models, with a structured approach to ambiguous problems like product + install pricing, channel partnerships, and ROI analysis
• Excited to roll up your sleeves and get out of the office. You'll spend time with installers, integrators, and customers deploying in unwired environments, and use that insight to shape the product

Responsibilities

• Own strategy and execution for the company's Security Trailer Product line
• Deliver the trailer platform's core promise: continuous off-grid uptime with zero site infrastructure. Push solar, battery, and cellular intelligence until the trailer runs itself, then expand into new form factors and use cases
• Own the commercial model for the trailer business: pricing and packaging, hardware-plus-license economics, data plans, and new acquisition options such as financing, leasing, or trailer-as-a-service
• Grow and shape the Qualified Trailer Partner channel with Sales and Channel teams, defining what partners sell, install, and service, and how the company supports them
• Work with manufacturing partners and supply chain on reliability, cost, and serviceability, turning field learnings into hardware and software improvements
