Director, Product Management

Role Overview

The Director of Edge Devices Product Management will lead the strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle management for connected hardware and software products serving commercial fleet, transportation, logistics, construction, field service, asset-intensive customers, and Industrial Equipment OEMs. This leader will define and deliver rugged, scalable, and cost-effective telematics devices, vehicle and equipment gateways, accessories, sensors, and edge-connected solutions that collect high-quality vehicle and machine data and enable fleet safety, compliance, maintenance, utilization, sustainability, asset productivity, equipment uptime, and operational efficiency use cases.

This role sits at the intersection of hardware, firmware, embedded systems, wireless connectivity, cloud platforms, data pipelines, customer operations, OEM partner requirements, and go-to-market execution. The ideal candidate is a product leader who can translate real-world fleet and industrial equipment problems into differentiated hardware capabilities, balance performance and cost trade-offs, and partner deeply with engineering, supply chain, operations, sales, support, customers, and equipment manufacturers to bring reliable products to market at scale.

• Own the multi-year hardware product vision, strategy, and roadmap for fleet vehicle telematics devices, gateways, asset trackers, sensors, accessories, and related edge platforms.
• Define product requirements based on customer needs, market trends, competitive analysis, regulatory requirements, fleet workflows, and business priorities.
• Prioritize roadmap investments across new product introductions, platform refreshes, cost reductions, reliability improvements, feature expansion, and end-of-life planning.
• Establish clear product positioning and value propositions for fleet operators, channel partners, Industrial Equipment OEMs, equipment dealers, upfitters, and internal commercial teams.
• Build product strategies that support both aftermarket installations and OEM-embedded programs, including factory-fit, dealer-installed, and private-label telematics models.

• Translate fleet, vehicle, and industrial equipment use cases into detailed hardware and firmware requirements covering vehicle and machine data acquisition, GNSS performance, cellular connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, sensor interfaces, power management, diagnostics, I/O, edge processing, and over-the-air updates.
• Guide product decisions involving OBD-II, J1939, CAN bus, RP1226, BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE Cat-M, LTE Cat-1, 5G, GNSS, accelerometers, battery performance, antennas, ruggedization, environmental requirements, equipment controller interfaces, auxiliary I/O, and machine sensor integrations.
• Partner with engineering to define scalable architectures that support vehicle gateways, asset tracking, video telematics, driver identification, maintenance, compliance, EV, mixed-fleet use cases, industrial equipment monitoring, remote diagnostics, and OEM equipment data services.
• Ensure hardware products deliver reliable telemetry, accurate signals, robust installation experiences, and consistent operation across diverse vehicle classes, industrial equipment types, duty cycles, vibration profiles, power environments, and field conditions.
• Define capabilities for OEM-focused programs such as embedded telematics modules, equipment gateway variants, service tool compatibility, white-label configurations, provisioning workflows, and secure device identity management.

• Engage directly with fleet customers, Industrial Equipment OEMs, equipment dealers, installers, drivers, technicians, service…
