T-Mobile is building something big in fiber - and this role is at the center of it. As Senior Product Manager, Broadband Hardware, you'll be the connective tissue across every team, partner, and milestone that brings T-Fiber products to market.

• Technology Strategy Collaborate with engineering architecture to evaluate platform trade-offs and deliver technology recommendations spanning Wi-Fi 8, embedded AI, RedCap, XGS-PON, and RDK. Engage directly with chipset partners - including Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Broadcom - to assess roadmaps and translate emerging capabilities into long-range product planning.
• Hardware Requirements Serve as named author and accountable owner of the fiber hardware PRD - leading cross-functional requirements gathering, maintaining the document through technical reviews, and bridging business objectives with technical execution from architecture upstream to sourcing downstream.

Qualifications:

• 7-10 years in product management, program management, or hardware product strategy within telecommunications, consumer broadband, or consumer electronics
• Demonstrated experience driving large-scale hardware or service launches with 15+ concurrent workstreams, including building master program schedules and managing critical path risk
• Experience managing OEM or supplier relationships through a full hardware product lifecycle, including familiarity with fulfillment operations and 3PL/4PL management
• Strong knowledge of broadband hardware and CPE lifecycle - chipset engagement, OEM sourcing, and launch - along with familiarity with fiber technologies such as PON, ONT, FTTH, and Wi-Fi
• Demonstrated experience as a named PRD or BRD author
• Strong executive communication skills with the ability to align technical teams and senior leadership
• Experience engaging chipset partners such as Qualcomm or MediaTek on roadmap discussions is a plus
