Product Manager - Hardware Platform

Anova is a company providing Industrial IoT solutions for industrial operations. The Product Manager – Hardware Platform will lead tactical product activities for a hardware vertical, including market discovery, solution requirements, prototyping, field trials, product development, and launches. The role also oversees hardware platform decisions, pilots, ECOs, sensor compatibility releases, and cross-functional initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Own hardware platform decisions for a market vertical (commercial fuels or industrial gas/chem) as the product expert, influencing market strategy, steering the roadmap, and overseeing day-to-day product decisions within the product portfolio
• Identify and lead new product development opportunities through capturing Voice of Customer (VoC) and engaging the market through customer interactions, industry events, and market research
• Develop business cases and plan programs by identifying product-market-fit, analyzing pricing strategy, and engaging stakeholders to scope development effort and timelines
• Continually evaluate and improve current product solutions by identifying gaps, prioritizing feature additions/changes, and continually assessing underperforming products for enhancements
• Lead hardware device pilots and field trials, define success criteria, recruit customers, coordinate logistics, track outcomes, and inform go/no-go decisions
• Drive minor product design changes and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) from request through release — balancing prioritization of these requests against team capacity and roadmap timelines
• Lead new sensor compatibility releases, coordinating sensor support launches with suppliers, hardware and software engineering, and sales
• Coordinate and lead cross-functional initiatives across Anova through process-driven management approaches, clear and timely communication, and effective interpersonal skills

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience in engineering, field operations, technical program management, or a closely adjacent technical/industrial function, including 2–4 years specifically in product management — with a clear track record of problem solving and shipping work that touched physical product
• Bachelor's degree in product, engineering, business, or equivalent practical experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams (pilots, releases, ECOs) without losing track of details or stakeholders
• Strong customer-facing instincts: comfortable in the field, on the phone, and in a customer's plant or yard; able to ask the questions behind the question
• Comfort with the data side of product work — pulling, organizing, and analyzing customer, business, and product data to inform decisions
• Clear written communication. You can turn a messy meeting or trial into a one-page summary the rest of the org can act on
• Familiarity with the Propane, Fuels, and/or Lubricants industries
• Direct exposure to IoT hardware, sensors, telematics, or industrial monitoring products
• Exposure to product analytics tools and customer feedback tooling
• Experience running pilots, beta programs, or controlled field trials with B2B customers
