Motive - Principal Product Manager, AI Cameras & Video Safety

• 7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time shipping camera, video, or computer-vision products from concept to launch and sustaining them through post-launch iteration. • 7+ years of product management experience • camera, video, or computer-vision products • Deep technical fluency in camera and edge-compute systems — image quality, ISP and sensor trade-offs, lens selection, and the device-level constraints (compute headroom, memory, thermal envelope, power, bandwidth) that determine what AI workloads the platform can support. You won't own the CV models themselves — that's our Visual AI team — but you'll partner closely with them and make the hardware and firmware trade-offs that gate their performance in the field. • Deep technical fluency in camera and edge-compute systems • Proven ownership of at least one full hardware NPI that reached material volume (ideally 100K+ units), preferably a connected camera or other video-capable device. • Proven ownership of at least one full hardware NPI • Strong technical fluency across the full IoT stack — embedded firmware, cellular and low-power wireless connectivity (LTE/5G, Wi-Fi, BLE), GNSS/location, and the mobile and cloud software that consumes device data. • Strong technical fluency across the full IoT stack • Working familiarity with automotive and telematics protocols such as CAN, OBD-II, and J1939, and an understanding of how vehicle data complements video and sensor streams. • Working familiarity with automotive and telematics protocols • Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives and influence roadmaps across engineering, operations, and GTM without direct authority. • Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives • Customer empathy paired with data fluency — you work diligently to understand customers' mindsets and use data to prioritize ruthlessly. • Customer empathy paired with data fluency • High "EQ" under pressure — comfortable handling multiple competing priorities and tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment. • High "EQ" under pressure • Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to move fluently between executives, hardware/firmware engineers, GTM teams, and customers. • Excellent written and verbal communication, • Trailblazer mindset — humble, kind, and open to learning, with a strong bias to action and a willingness to commit and disagree productively. • Trailblazer mindset • BA/BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience. • BA/BS • Experience launching cellular-connected video devices at scale (dashcams, security cameras, body cameras, or similar). • cellular-connected video devices • Experience co-developing connected camera platforms with an in-house AI/CV team — translating model requirements into silicon, sensor, and thermal decisions, and balancing AI compute against cost, power, and form factor. • co-developing connected camera platforms with an in-house AI/CV team • Background in fleet safety, telematics, ADAS, or automotive technology. • fleet safety, telematics, ADAS, or automotive technology • Familiarity with regulatory and certification regimes for connected video devices (FCC, CE, PTCRB, GCF, automotive EMC). • regulatory and certification regimes • Pay Transparency • Pay Transparency • Your compensation may be based on several factors, including education, work experience, and certifications. For certain roles, total compensation may include restricted stock units.
