Overview
About Armaments Research Company
Armaments Research Company (ARC) is a technology company dedicated to bringing real-time situational awareness and battlefield logistics capabilities to the warfighter. You will be an integral part of the ARC team managing program execution in support of our innovative and powerful IoT devices to enhance national security. Our core offering is the ARC AI-Enabled Weapons Sensor (AEWS), which collects and transmits real-time tactical data to the cloud. This information enables battlefield/tactical awareness and aggregated insights into big data sets that do not exist today. ARC technologies were initially developed in partnership with DARPA and the National Science Foundation and leverage internet-of-things (IoT) technology and machine learning to derive actionable insights and transform operational responses. This novel technology will be deployed at scale to enhance safety, decision-making, and sustainment for the warfighter at the tactical edge. Role
We are seeking a hands-on Product Leader to own the product vision, roadmap, and execution alignment for a defense-focused IoT system operating in real-world ground combat and training environments. This role is for a doer, not a slide-builder. You will spend time with users, operate the product yourself, make hard prioritization decisions, and ensure the product delivered by engineering solves the right problems under real operational constraints. You bring deep domain familiarity with U.S. ground combat, training, or operational environments. You enjoy high activity in ambiguous, constraint-heavy environments. You have a strong ownership mentality, you’re laser-focused on outcomes, and you value hands-on orientation favoring direct validation over abstraction.
