Your role in the team
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for the SPS hardware portfolio, aligned with SPS business goals, our software ecosystem, and market needs.
- Drive innovation: challenge the status quo of our portfolio, identify where new form factors, technologies, and device categories can open up new revenue streams.
- Nähere dich Kunden und Partnern — besuche sie, führe Discovery durch, nimm an Messen teil und bring ihre Realität in die Roadmap ein.
- Proactive, hands-on user centricity is the core of this role.
- Define and prioritize hardware initiatives, balancing customer value, cost, manufacturability, certification and regulatory requirements, and technical feasibility.
- Work with Hardware Engineering at eye level: translate market needs into clear requirements, and understand enough of the technology to have a real conversation about trade-offs.
- Ensure hardware and software evolve as one product experience, in close alignment with the Software Product Managers.
- Manage the full product lifecycle — from concept and business case through launch, ramp-up, optimization and structured phase-out — including pricing and portfolio performance (revenue, margin, adoption).
- Create roadmaps, business cases and product reports, and present them internally and externally.
- Coordinate the roll-out of new products and features together with Sales, Marketing and Support, and ensure a successful market launch.
- Act as internal product expert and ambassador for the hardware portfolio, building alignment across stakeholders.
