Senior Product Manager – 3D Vision Hardware

Join the Zivid team!

Zivid is one of Norway's most ambitious technology companies, building the 3D vision and motion-planning software that give robots human-like sight and judgment. Our Zivid 2+ and Zivid 3 cameras deliver industry-leading accuracy, even on black, shiny, or transparent objects, and with Zivid Motion, our real-time, collision-aware motion-planning software, we're one of very few companies in the world delivering vision and motion together as a single platform. We serve the global robotics and automation market from six countries with 100+ employees and a global customer base.

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to take long-term ownership of our 3D cameras.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Why this role exists: to keep our 3D cameras the best choice for robot builders, from launch to end-of-life.

You take long-term ownership of the Zivid 2+ and Zivid 3 camera families and our accessories: you run their lifecycles, lead launches and decide what comes next, so our customers keep getting the best 3D vision for their robots. You will be part of a small, cross-functional Product team, and if you're passionate about cutting-edge hardware and tackling new challenges hands-on, we're excited to have you on board.

SCOPE

• Own the Zivid 2+ and Zivid 3 camera families and accessories end to end: roadmap, datasheets, documentation, lifecycle and end-of-life.
• Plan and run product launches together with engineering, operations, marketing and sales.
• Work closely with strategic customers and integrators to understand their applications, and turn what you learn into clear requirements for new cameras and features.
• Collect customer feedback from the field and act on it, together with sales and support.
• Contribute to our next generation of cameras.
• Give sales and customer training the product knowledge they need.
• Influence product strategy, roadmap and prioritization with data-driven insights.

The role reports to the VP of Product.

OUTCOMES FOR THE FIRST 12 MONTHS

You'll be evaluated on these outcomes, not on hours logged or activities completed.

• Product lines: You own the Zivid 2+ and Zivid 3 families end to end, with up-to-date roadmaps, datasheets and lifecycle plans.
• Launch: You have led at least one product launch from plan to market.
• Customers: You have working relationships with our strategic customers and integrators, and their feedback reaches you in a structured way.
• What's next: You have turned what you learned from customers into clear requirements for the next camera or feature, and they're on the roadmap.
• Enablement: Sales and support have the product knowledge and material they need.
  
  

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Must-have

• Credibility with both engineers and customers: you can go deep on the technical details with engineering, explain what matters to customers and sales, and settle the trade-offs between them.
• The ability to turn messy, conflicting customer input into clear requirements, and to say no with good reasons.
• A track record of getting engineering, operations, marketing and sales to deliver together, and keeping the plan on track when dates or suppliers slip. Launches, releases and major projects all count.
• A structured, hands-on approach that keeps several product lines in good shape at once.
• Follow-through: you stay with products and projects long after the exciting part is over, and keep track of what you've committed to.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with 3D vision, stereo cameras or optics.
• Experience with industrial or B2B products.
• Experience from a hardware product company.
  
  

WHAT'S HARD ABOUT THIS ROLE

You'll run mature product lines and new launches at the same time, so prioritizing is constant. Hardware timelines depend on suppliers and production, and launches move. The role spans from deeply technical work with engineering to working directly with customers, and you need to be credible at both ends. And because we're a small, hands-on product team, you do the work yourself, from datasheets to sales training. If you want to focus on strategy only, this isn't that role. If you want to own products in the field and see them succeed, it is.

WE OFFER

• A pivotal role owning core products in a fast-growing scale-up
• Significant autonomy and career development opportunities
• Exposure to cutting-edge 3D vision and robotics technology
• Competitive compensation package, including sign-on stock options, competitive pension scheme and premium health insurance plan
