Silvus Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, Inc. Job Description

Would you like to join an incredibly talented group of people, doing very challenging work, with the prime directive of "Keeping Our Heroes Connected"? THE OPPORTUNITY

Silvus is seeking a highly motivated Technical Product Manager (TPM) to drive requirements, product backlog, market adoption, and revenue growth for the Electronic Warfare (EW) & Sensing Solutions product portfolio. This position will report to the Director of Product Management on the Product team. Role Overview

The successful individual in this role will play a vital role in translating complex defense requirements into specific hardware configurations, software specifications, and intuitive operator experiences. This is a technical execution role requiring a deep understanding of tactical RF networks, signal analysis, sensing systems, and software-defined architectures. This position bridges the gap between tactical EW mission requirements and engineering execution. While Silvus' core hardware team drives the physical New Product Introduction (NPI) of Silvus' flagship radio chassis, this role drives the hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) and complete physical lifecycle execution for our highly specialized FASST Sensing Technology and related products. Additionally, you will focus on the tactical application of our core technologies-optimizing our transceiver platforms for edge-node operations and enabling high-performance RF data exchange with downstream processing applications and external tactical ecosystems. You will hold complete technical requirements, hardware NPI, and user experience ownership for our sensor products. This position is located at Silvus Technologies' Engineering and R&D Office in Irvine, CA, near the vibrant Irvine Spectrum and is on a hybrid schedule, with one day reporting to our West Los Angeles HQ. On-site days are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at our Irvine office and Thursdays at our West Los Angeles HQ. However, this position is eligible for 100% remote work depending on location for candidates based in the US, with a willingness to travel up to 25-50% of the time to support field testing, customer integrations, customer meetings, and Silvus office locations.
