[Hiring] Lead Product Manager, Hardware & Sensing @SafelyYou

Role Description

Our sensing hardware is how SafelyYou sees what happens in the building. You'll lead product strategy for our next generation of sensing and response hardware, starting with eCall v2, a lower-cost in-room response system built to life-safety standards, and Guardian Pro Next Gen, our next edge sensing device, designed to lower adoption barriers in assisted living. This is a 0→1 hardware role: your decisions shape where and how SafelyYou can be deployed, not just device specs. You define strategy with Engineering and Architecture, not ahead of them. Day-to-day supply chain and vendor operations sit with partner teams, and Device & Fleet owns the installed base.

Key Responsibilities

• The Numbers You'll Own
  • Stage-Gate Readiness: Programs meeting required customer, technical, regulatory, operational, supply-chain and commercial criteria before advancing.
  • Customer Requirements Validation: Critical product requirements validated with target customers before major investment.
  • Target BOM Attainment: Actual/forecast BOM vs. approved target at each development gate.
• What You'll Own
  • The hardware roadmap: multi-generation, grounded in customer evidence and portfolio priorities.
  • Business cases before NPI: target BOM, capital cost, margin, payback, and IRR, plus build, buy, or partner calls.
  • Requirements: cross-team needs translated into hardware and edge-compute specs, including privacy, appearance, and acceptance barriers in assisted living.
  • Sensing modality selection with AI & Intelligence, and convergence on common platforms to avoid SKU sprawl.
  • Stage gates from concept through EVT, DVT, PVT, and launch, with life-safety certification (e.g., UL 2560) planned in from day one.
  • Launch and lifecycle: whole-product readiness with Operations and Support, and end-of-life transitions with Device & Fleet.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of product management, with strong business modeling (BOM, margin, ROI/IRR).
• Working literacy in hardware architecture (SoCs, edge AI compute, sensors) to make credible tradeoffs with engineers.
• Experience partnering with contract manufacturers through NPI and ramp.
• Delivery of both off-the-shelf integrated and custom hardware.

Requirements

• The hard requirement: you've taken connected hardware (IoT, edge, or smart devices) from concept through NPI to mass production.
• Strongly preferred: life-safety or regulated devices (UL 2560/1069, medical), non-optical sensing, or senior living and building systems.

Benefits

• A mission-driven company culture.
• Fully remote.
• Competitive salary & benefits, including fully paid employee premiums for Medical, Dental, and Vision.
• 401k Program.
• Monthly Education, Well-being & WFH stipends.
• Non-accrual PTO.
• Growth Potential.
• Company Retreats.
• Medical & Family/Parental Leave.
