About the role
- Motive is investing deeply in AI cameras and video safety as the physical backbone of our platform.
- Our Vision & Safety product line, powered by our flagship AI cameras, is the core engine for our industry-leading Safety and Fleet software suite, representing one of the largest and most strategic growth opportunities in the portfolio.
- As the Principal/Director Product Manager, Connected Devices (Vision & Safety), you will be the dedicated product leader for the device and firmware surface area of this critical line.
Responsibilities
- Drive New Product Introductions (NPIs) from ideation through implementation and launch, focusing on excellent execution across hardware, firmware, web, and mobile platforms.
- Make the hard trade-offs across AI computing, installation experience, form factor, battery, and connectivity to deliver a winning safety solution that aligns with business outcomes.
- Drive go-to-market readiness by partnering with Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Install on positioning, enablement, and rollout planning for every NPI and major feature release.
- 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.
Requirements
- 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.
- The applicant must be authorized to receive and access those commodities and technologies controlled under U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
Nice to have
- Experience launching cellular-connected video devices at scale (dashcams, security cameras, body cameras, or similar).
- Background in fleet safety, telematics, ADAS, or automotive technology.
- Familiarity with regulatory and certification regimes for connected video devices (FCC, CE, PTCRB, GCF, automotive EMC).
Compensation
- Your compensation may be based on several factors, including education, work experience, and certifications.
- For certain roles, total compensation may include restricted stock units.
- The compensation range for this position will depend on where you reside.
- For this role, the compensation range is:
- $220,000 - $280,000 USD
Benefits
- We help customers prevent accidents, protect their drivers, and manage their fleets using high-performance, AI-powered cameras, advanced computer vision, and in-cab alerting technology.
- You will own the vision, strategy, and execution for our category-defining connected camera products, including the flagship AI Dashcam+ and AI Omnicam.
- Own the vision and execution of our AI-powered vision & safety hardware and the corresponding software and firmware capabilities.
- Set and articulate the product's vision, and gain buy-in from our CEO, CPO, CTO, and VP Connected Devices.
- 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.
