• Conduct market and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for innovation and differentiation.
• Create, manage, and prioritize the product backlog of bug fixes, enhancements, and new feature requests.
• Work closely with engineering teams to refine requirements, define acceptance criteria, and ensure timely delivery of high-impact features.
• Balance technical debt reduction with new product development priorities.
• Collaborate with sales and marketing to support product positioning, pricing, and launch activities.
• Communicate product plans, status, and decisions to stakeholders across all levels of the organization.
• Leverage a background in electrical, mechanical, or robotics engineering to understand system design, integration challenges, and automation technologies.
• Support engineering teams with informed trade-off decisions between cost, complexity, and performance.
• Manage product lifecycle from concept through release, deployment, and continuous improvement.
• Track and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) for system reliability, cost, and customer satisfaction.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in product management or engineering within industrial automation, robotics, or material handling.
• Strong understanding of conveyors, sortation systems, ASRS, robotic palletizing/depalletizing, and related technologies.
• Proven experience managing product backlogs and feature roadmaps using tools such as Jira and Trello.
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; data-driven decision-making mindset.

• Experience with PLC, controls, or motion systems integration.
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing, Industry 4.0, or IoT-enabled automation solutions.

• Up to 10% of travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
• The employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.
