What you'll do
- Know your customers: spend time with survey and mapping teams in the field, learn how they work, how they buy, what else they could use and what they still can't do
- Set the priorities: weigh customer value, market opportunity, development effort, price and margin, then make a clear call on what comes next
- Test ideas early with customers and engineers, learn fast and adjust
- Shape the product development: steer the capture platform (aircraft, sensors, workflows and data deliverables) and make performance, reliability and usability trade-offs together with engineering
- Take it to market: launch with Product Marketing, Sales, Support and partners and explain why the product matters; stay close to field results and support the product through its lifecycle
- Follow the outcomes: track customer outcomes, usage and commercial results and use what you learn to pick the next problem to solve
What we're looking for
- You have a taste for great products and a relentless drive to understand what makes users love them
- You make things happen: act like an owner and hold yourself accountable to outcomes not output; care primarily about happy customers and a successful business
- You bring people with you: listen closely, speak clearly and earn trust with customers and engineers, including when you disagree
- You find a way forward: very comfortable with ambiguity, work constructively with people and constraints, know when to push and when to adapt
- 3+ years developing or deploying hardware products and their software workflows, with clear ownership of product, operational or commercial results
- Technical background in engineering, geospatial or another technical field
- Commercially fluent: read a pricing model, channel margin or renewal term and see why the business cares
- Fluent in English and happy to travel regularly to customers and partners in the US and Europe
Nice to have
- Founded a relevant business of your own, led surveying or drone operations, or built products for geospatial customers
- Hands-on experience with photogrammetry, LiDAR or bringing a commercial robotics product to market
