[Hiring] Principal Systems PM, Perception Hardware & Platform @Inspiren

Role Description

We are seeking a Principal Systems PM, Perception Hardware & Platform, to own Inspiren’s connected system of systems—unifying our current hardware and all future devices. Embedded within our hardware team, this is a deeply technical senior PM role sitting at the intersection of hardware engineering, firmware, software, and data.

You will:

• Define system-level requirements and trade-offs across hardware, firmware, and software for a seamless, clinically effective safety system.
• Lead discovery on new and existing hardware types, partnering with hardware and commercial teams to evaluate sensing technologies and device configurations.
• Assess technical feasibility and regulatory constraints, tying recommendations to business expansion opportunities.
• Partner with hardware and software teams across all development phases—from PRD kick-off through concept, EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production.
• Make implementation decisions on real-world deployment trade-offs, determining when to solve problems via new hardware, firmware, platform, or AI.

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role, serving as the connective tissue between hardware, firmware, software, AI, and implementation teams. Your work directly affects resident safety in the communities we serve, and your decisions will define how Inspiren’s system of systems evolves. This role reports to the Head of Product.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of product management experience with deep ownership of hardware-enabled systems, including embedded systems, and hardware-software integration.
• Full hardware phase ownership experience: PRD through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production, with direct accountability for system-level requirements and cross-device trade-offs.
• Strong technical foundation in perception and sensing technologies (cameras, radar, thermal, BLE beacons, audio) and ability to translate real-world functionality into complex cross-device system requirements.
• Proven ability to work fluently with hardware, firmware, and software engineers on technical requirements, constraints, and system-level trade-offs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, durable system requirements, technical PRDs, and trade-off analyses for both engineering and leadership audiences.

Requirements

• Experience with safety-critical or regulated device environments (UL2560/UL 1069, FDA, FCC, or medical device standards).
• Experience in healthcare, senior living, or clinical settings where reliability, privacy, and trust are paramount.
• Familiarity with AI/ML applied to on-device sensing data, telemetry anomaly detection, or perception pipelines.

Benefits

• The annual salary for this role is $240,000–280,000 + equity + benefits (including medical, dental, and vision).
• Flexible PTO.
• Location: Remote, US. NYC preferred.
