About Chesapeake Technology

The role

The Product Manager owns the roadmap across SonarWiz, Fathom and Fathom WAKE. It is a hands‑on role. About a quarter of your time goes to design and development: you will write the specs, draw the screens, and build small pieces of the product yourself when that is the fastest path.

Responsibilities

• Own the Fathom roadmap: decide what ships each quarter, in what order, and why.
• Turn customer and field feedback into specs engineering can build from, working directly with hydrographic surveyors, Navy operators and AUV manufacturers.
• Run the product process for a small engineering team plus contractors: user stories, acceptance criteria, bug triage, release reviews and the backlog.
• Plan SonarWiz releases alongside Fathom
• Design: wireframes, mockups and clickable prototypes in Figma for new Fathom screens, consistent with the existing UI; keep the design system and brand guidelines current.
• Develop: know the codebase well enough to scope work and review pull requests; write scripts to analyze sonar data and reproduce customer issues; ship small front‑end changes yourself; run acceptance testing before releases.
• Partner with sales on demos, trials, pilots and pricing; track usage in production and use it to set priorities.

Required qualifications

• 3+ years as a product manager on a technical B2B product, ideally one that processes geospatial or sensor data.
• Competent in Figma, with a portfolio of screens or flows you drew yourself.
• Clear writer: specs, release notes and customer emails are a large part of the job.
• Comfortable with technical customers; able to hold your own on sonar, navigation and coordinate systems within months.
• U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident. Occasional travel for customer visits, sea trials and defense exercises.

Preferred qualifications

• Hydrographic survey, sonar or marine robotics experience (sidescan, multibeam, sub‑bottom, AUV/UUV operations).
• Familiarity with geospatial formats and coordinate reference systems (GeoTIFF, Zarr, WGS84, UTM).
• Defense software experience (ATOs, IL4 deployments, Navy program offices) or an active U.S. security clearance.

• Health insurance, flexible PTO and professional development. Remote within the US; the New York office is open to anyone who wants to use it.
