About This Role
This role combines hands-on engineering knowledge with product strategy to define the next generation of RF, DSP, and FPGA-based embedded computing products. The Technical Product Manager will own the strategy, roadmap, definition, and lifecycle management of RF, DSP, and FPGA-based COTS solutions, using a strong engineering background to identify market opportunities and guide products from concept through launch.
Responsibilities
- Own and maintain the product strategy for RF/DSP and FPGA solutions within the overall product portfolio
- Develop multi-year product roadmaps based on customer needs, technology trends, competitive intelligence, and business objectives
- Translate complex system-level requirements and engineering tradeoffs into compelling product strategies and requirements
- Develop business cases for new products and present recommendations to executive leadership
- Lead product concept definition and support the NPI process from initial requirements through product launch
- Evaluate competitive products, technologies, architectures, and relevant form factors
- Manage product-line financial performance, including revenue, cost, profitability, and investment priorities
- Partner closely with engineering to define product requirements, technical differentiation, and development priorities
- Work with sales, customers, and partners to understand market requirements and identify new opportunities
- Participate in customer engagements and provide technical support during complex discussions
- Develop technical presentations, product collateral, training materials, and other product communications
- Support secure customer engagements where required
- Monitor portfolio performance and recommend product enhancements, investments, or lifecycle changes
- Influence cross-functional teams and drive positive outcomes without direct authority
- Communicate complex RF, DSP, FPGA, and embedded technologies clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a closely related technical discipline; Master's degree preferred
- 7+ years of experience in RF, DSP, FPGA, embedded electronics, or related defense/embedded technology markets
- Strong technical understanding of FPGA architectures, RF systems, and Digital Signal Processing
- Strong understanding of the complete RF-to-digital signal chain, including RF front ends, data converters, FPGA processing, and DSP
- Demonstrated ability to understand real-world hardware implementations, not just theoretical RF/DSP concepts
- Experience with embedded electronics and/or embedded software
- Experience evaluating system-level technical tradeoffs, performance constraints, architecture, cost, and manufacturability
