Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager, Commercial Video IoT Devices The Role Alarm.com is looking for a senior product manager to lead development of key commercial video hardware products, starting with our PoE camera line.This is a hands-on product role for someone who can operate at both the architecture level and the last-10%-of-the-product level. You will own products across hardware, firmware, and software over their full lifecycle. That means working with ODM partners on platform and componentchoices, making product and specification tradeoffs, pressure-testing real-world installation workflows, and driving the software and firmware work neededto deliver a complete product experience. Day to day, this role can range from reviewing chipset options with a hardware partner, to tearing down a prototype to evaluate a mechanical constraint, toprioritizing launch-critical software issues with engineering. You should care as much about system architecture as you do about the details that determinewhether a product actually feels finished in the field: accessory quality, LED behavior, cable routing, installation flow, and overall polish. This role is a strong fit for product managers who have gone deep on hardware and embedded systems, or for hardware, embedded, or systemsengineers who want to move into product. What You’ll Own Key commercial video hardware products. Lead product development for high-priority commercial video devices, beginning with PoE cameras. Own product direction from concept through launch and continued lifecycle improvement. Hardware, firmware, and software product definition. Define requirements and make tradeoff decisions across the full product experience, not just the device itself. Ensure the hardware, firmware, and software pieces come together into a product that works well for customers and installers. ODM partner direction and product shaping. Work directly with ODM partners to evaluate platforms, select components, solidify specifications, and drive execution. Push for quality, challenge assumptions when needed, and make sure important details do not get waved away. Installer and field experience. Review products from the perspective of the installer and end user. Identify friction in mounting, wiring, accessory kits, setup, and deployment, and drive improvements before those issues reach the field. Final product quality and finish. Be the person who notices when a product is technically functional but not actually ready. Own decisions and feedback on the details that shape quality, including industrial/mechanical details, status indicators, packaging inputs, in-box accessories, and setup experience. Launch readiness and lifecycle follow-through. Lead key launches end to end, including launch-critical issue resolution and post-launch prioritization. Partner with engineering, QA, operations, design, and PMM to ensure products ship at the right quality bar and continue improving after release. Cross-functional decision making. Work across hardware, firmware, software, operations, design, quality, and go-to-market teams. Engineering owns implementation; you own the product outcome. What We’re Looking For We care more about technical judgment, curiosity, and ownership than about checking every box on paper. Strong technical depth in hardware or embedded systems. You can engage credibly on device architecture, component tradeoffs, and system constraints. You do not need to design the hardware yourself, but you do need to understand how the pieces fit together and be able to challenge a recommendation when it does not make sense. Ability to operate across hardware, firmware, and software. You can reason about the full system and make good prioritization calls across disciplines. You are comfortable owning a hardware product beyond the physical device itself. Hands-on product instincts. You are willing to open the box, inspect the accessory bag, walk through the install flow, and test assumptions yourself. You care about the difference between a product that works in theory and one that works well in practice. Pragmatic problem solving. You push for excellence, but you are practical about getting products to market. When a partner says something requires a respin, delay, or escalation, you know how to dig in and evaluate whether there is a simpler path. Experience driving complex cross-functional work. You can keep momentum across multiple teams and external partners without losing sight of product quality or decision clarity. Clear written and verbal communication. You can write rigorous requirements, document decisions clearly, and communicate effectively with technical teams, external partners, and leadership. Strong technical foundation. Background in engineering, computer science, math, physics, or another rigorous discipline with B.S. in an engineering discipline, computer science, math, physics or related field preferred. Bonus Points Experience shipping cameras, IoT devices, networking hardware, or other connected devices Experience working with ODM, JDM, or contract manufacturing partners Experience in video surveillance, physical security, or commercial device ecosystems Background as a hardware, embedded, systems, mechanical, or firmware engineer before moving into product Familiarity with installer-driven products or products deployed in real-world commercial environments Location This role can be based in our Redwood City, San Diego, or Tysons, VA headquarters and is expected to be onsite 4 days per week. Travel is expected, including trips to Taiwan a couple times per year and occasional travel to other partner or field locations as needed.
