Senior Product Manager - Defense Autonomy and Perception

What You’ll Do:

• Work across T1: Serve as the product management liaison across mission, sales/business development, product design, engineering leadership, technical program management, field engineering, information security, and various other disciplines so product decisions reflect operational realities, market needs, and technical constraints.
• Prioritize portfolio features: Help prioritize features across programs and products by evaluating mission impact, technical risk, customer value, and commercial/contract drivers; recommend tradeoffs and sequencing.
• Support engineering decisions: Help engineers and team leads make design and architecture selections by defining success criteria, documenting tradeoffs (cost, complexity, schedule, field operability), and facilitating technical decision reviews.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven product leadership with ownership of roadmaps and delivery; domain preference for autonomy/edge AI, IoT, defense/fielded systems, or defense SaaS.
• Strong technical literacy or engineering background; comfortable partnering with engineering managers/leadership and architects on system tradeoffs.
• Deep field/customer orientation and experience converting operational feedback into product requirements.

How you’ll work:

• Context-first: Gather constraints, mission inputs, and market signals before deciding; document assumptions and rationale.
• Cross-team collaborator: Facilitate pragmatic, respectful alignment across sales, mission, design, engineering, and field teams.
• Engineer-friendly: Provide clear decision frameworks, acceptance criteria, and tradeoff analyses to help engineers make confident technical choices.
