Eagle Wirelessis looking for a Product Manager - ODM Devices & US Manufacturing (Tectalon) as part of the Products Team in the Minneapolis, MN or Solon, OH offices.

Join us. Help build the networks the next generation of connected technology runs on.

Eagle Wireless is building the connective tissue of the physical world.

Every connected car, every industrial sensor, every IoT device that needs to talk to the cloud reliably and securely — that's where we come in. We design and deliver cellular modules and connectivity solutions that automotive, and IoT companies trust to work for years, in the field, without compromise.

Our teams span North America, Europe, and APAC, giving you the chance to collaborate with world-class engineers and go-to-market experts solving hard problems at global scale — from cybersecurity and supply chain resilience to regulatory compliance across dozens of markets.

If you want your work to matter in a world that's rapidly connecting everything, and you want to do it alongside people obsessed with getting the hard stuff right, Eagle Wireless is where that happens.

Job Summary:

As Product Manager for ODM Devices, you will own and drive Eagle's ODM roadmap: the portfolio of finished wireless devices (consumer wireless routers, gateways, CPE, and related connected products) that Eagle brings to market through ODM, JDM, and EMS engagements, with a mandate to move that manufacturing to Tectalon in Ohio.

You will define what these devices need to be, starting with consumer wireless router requirements, and build the partner and manufacturing strategy that gets them built in the US. You will also partner directly with engineering to drive each device from concept through development, qualification, and launch — owning the schedule, tradeoffs, and readiness decisions that get it to market. You will work alongside the module product managers as a key voice in determining where modules should be produced, ensuring module siting decisions support the device programs and US manufacturing strategy you are driving.

This is a foundational role in a facility in startup mode. You will work closely with the Tectalon leadership team across manufacturing, quality, and capital projects, with engineering, module product management and program management, and with sales teams engaging carriers, MSOs, and OEM customers.

• Conduct market and competitive analysis of the consumer router, gateway, and CPE landscape to position Eagle devices on features, cost, and US origin.
• Build and defend the business case for each device program: target customers, volume forecasts, BOM and landed cost, NRE, pricing, and margin.

Product Development & Launch (with Engineering)

• Partner with engineering across the full device lifecycle — architecture, DVT/PVT, qualification — owning milestones, scope tradeoffs, and go/no-go decisions.
• Drive launch readiness end-to-end: align engineering, manufacturing, quality, and certification timelines to hit committed launch dates.
• Act as the primary connective tissue between engineering and the business — translating customer/market requirements into engineering scope, and engineering constraints back…
