Key Responsibilities Product Vision & Strategy Set the strategic direction for the platform, aligning cutting-edge wireless simulation and AI-driven automation with user needs.

Drive the integration of intelligent automation and agentic workflows into the user experience. Team Building & Leadership As the first product hire, develop internal product processes such as discovery, roadmapping, and go-to-market coordination. Act as a bridge between technical teams, customers, and executives, ensuring strong cross-functional alignment. Grow and mentor a small, agile product team as the company scales.
Required Experience 5–10 years of total product management experience, including 2+ years in a startup or early-stage company. Deep understanding of wireless systems, including WiFi and/or cellular network design and monitoring. Demonstrated success in building complex technical products (e.g., AI platforms, simulations, developer tools, or enterprise SaaS). Proven ability to work directly with engineering teams on deeply technical feature sets. Startup mindset: adaptable, hands-on, fast-learning, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. Preferred Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Prior experience as the first or founding product hire at an early-stage company. Familiarity with simulation technologies, agentic AI, or network performance analytics. Exposure to geospatial systems or high-performance computing platforms.
