About the role
Product Manager - Technical Products
Salary: Competitive
Specialist Engineering Portfolio
Hampshire
Fully onsite
Permanent
I am recruiting a Product Manager to take technical ownership of a specialist product portfolio within an established high-reliability engineering organisation.
This is not a conventional commercial Product Manager position. Acting as the Product Authority, you will own product performance, capability and configuration throughout the complete operational lifecycle.
You will lead the transition of products from development into manufacture, support production and customer operations, manage engineering change and drive continuous product improvement.
Working across Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Service and Business Development, you will define the long-term technical roadmap and represent the product during customer engagements, bids, demonstrations and trials.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own technical performance, capability, configuration and lifecycle management across the assigned product family.
- Develop the technical roadmap, balancing customer requirements, manufacturing capability, operational support and commercial objectives.
- Lead development-to-manufacture transition, production readiness and technical support for Manufacturing and suppliers.
- Resolve production and field failures, approve engineering changes and manage product configuration, baselines and obsolescence.
- Oversee verification, validation, qualification, factory and integration testing and sea trials, while supporting customers, bids and demonstrations.
Key Skills
- Degree qualified in Engineering, Physics or an equivalent discipline, with proficiency in 3D CAD, ideally Autodesk Inventor.
- Significant experience developing and supporting complex sensor-based or electro-mechanical products.
Desirable skills:
- Experience with advanced sensing or detection systems.
- Experience with autonomous or remotely operated systems.
- Understanding of defence standards and military product qualification.
- Experience integrating technical products with navigation, autonomy or mission-management systems.
What you get in return:
A permanent technical product-ownership opportunity within a specialist engineering environment.
The scope to influence product capability, manufacturing performance and long-term technology strategy.
Direct involvement with production, customers, demonstrations, integration testing and sea trials.
