VI - Hudson, NH
Product Platform Manager - Physical Products
Description:
The role Product Platform Manager will include extensive direct collaboration with the end-user to determine the "system-level" temperature and pressure measurement product requirements, translation of those requirements into a "system-level" design specification, project planning and project management of "system-level" projects that will also require coordination of sub-project activities in other VI facilities, final test and verification of the completed systems, and final installation and verification of systems at the customer's site.
Summary of Responsibilities
- Works with marketing to develop short and long term product road maps for the Physical Sensor Products.
- Lead a cross functional team consisting of development, production and quality, through the development and delivery from the quote/specification stages all the way through to product release.
- Works closely with sales to develop new opportunities with target customers.
- Develop specification sheets and provide quotes for opportunities.
- Conduct customer, sales representative and internal training on Physical Sensor product portfolio and technical capabilities.
- Assist customers with technical questions and installation trials and direct to the next level of technical support.
Principal Accountabilities:
- Product Specification: Collaboration with customers to determine their passive/wireless temperature or pressure measurement requirements (Smart Grid, Food Probe, Rotating equipment and High-Temp). Requirement determination includes understanding the customer's application, physical equipment configuration, and output interface needs (i.e. 4-20mA, RS-232, RS-485, CanBus and high level communication protocols). Once understood, the "system-level" temperature and pressure product requirements need to be translated into a "system-level" product requirement or specification. A detailed understanding of two major system level building blocks will be defined and include the wireless reader electronics (interface/communication protocol, operating modes and antenna) and passive temperature or pressure element (packaging, antenna and performance enhancement).
- Product Development and Project Management: Once the "system-level" product has been specified, "system-level" project planning and project management will be required and will involve coordination of sub-projects across numerous VI facilities. The sub-projects will be variants of the two major system building blocks listed above. The project management activities require a good understanding of Microsoft project and good project management skills and weekly oversight of all sub and system level development projects is expected. Once all the individual components of the system have been completed, then oversight of full characterization and verification of the system needs to be done.
- Applications Development: Interface with the customers to understand their applications, perform experiments in-house or in the field to demonstrate the capabilities of our system solutions. Finally, as customer specific solutions are completed, customer support and installation at customer sites will be required.
Requirements:
- Requires a minimum of BSEE
- Extensive skills in the specification, characterization and customer implementation of wireless systems.
- Familiarity with the use of antennas, digital and RF measurements and signal capture, sensor output interfaces (i.e. 4-20mA, RS-232, RS-485, CanBus, etc.) with a firm understanding of wireless principals is required.
- Prior product management and engineering experience required.
- Good business development experience would be positive and great customer interface skills are a must.
The Benefits:
New employees enjoy immediate access to outstanding medical, dental, prescription, vision, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, and retirement savings plans; access to short and long-term disability plans and company-provided life insurance after 30 days of employment; and access to gym and tuition reimbursement benefits after 90 days of employment. Employees also enjoy access to profit sharing and general employee bonus opportunities.
