VOLT is seeking a Technical Product Manager to own product direction and lead engineering teams through the design, build, and deployment of our AI-powered safety and security platform.

This is a deeply technical, hands-on product role. You will be expected to engage directly with system design, APIs, data flows, and deployment constraints—not simply write requirements. You will define what we build, why we build it, and ensure it ships successfully into real-world environments.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer with a proven track record building large, complex systems, who has transitioned into product leadership but remains highly technical and execution-oriented.

Own product vision and roadmap for core platform capabilities, balancing customer needs, technical feasibility, and long-term strategy

Translate complex customer and system requirements into clear, actionable product direction, including user workflows and experience design, functional and non-functional requirements, and system constraints, dependencies, and trade-offs

Lead engineering teams through end-to-end execution, including planning, prioritization, and sequencing, architecture and technical design reviews, and delivery, deployment, and iteration in production

Act as the hands-on technical product authority, engaging directly with system architecture and data flows, APIs and service contracts, and performance, reliability, and scalability considerations

Partner closely with AI/ML, infrastructure, and frontend/backend teams to shape product interfaces and system design, ensure features are deployable and operable in real environments, and drive clarity and alignment across teams

Own deployment readiness and launch execution, including validation in customer environments, risk identification and mitigation, and feedback collection and prioritization post-launch

Work directly with customers and internal stakeholders to gather feedback and validate product decisions, balance user experience with engineering realities, and ensure the product delivers measurable value

Maintain a high bar for product quality, usability, reliability, and security, particularly in safety-critical systems

8+ years of experience as a software engineer, systems engineer, or ML engineer, with significant hands-on production experience

Demonstrated track record building and shipping large-scale, complex systems

Experience owning product direction or leading major technical initiatives

Strong understanding of distributed systems, data pipelines, and modern software architectures

Ability to reason deeply about user experience while maintaining technical rigor

Experience leading teams through production deployments

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Comfort making decisions and trade-offs in ambiguous environments

Experience with AI-driven or data-intensive products

Background in safety, security, or physical-world systems

Experience with cloud and edge deployments
