Product Manager (FPGA, RF & DSP)

MissionHires is seeking a Technical Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, definition, and lifecycle management of RF, DSP, FPGA, and mixed-signal embedded COTS solutions. This high-visibility role combines deep engineering knowledge with product strategy, working across engineering, sales, customers, and leadership to bring rugged, mission-critical products from concept through launch and lifecycle management.

• Own and maintain the product strategy for RF, DSP, and FPGA solutions within the broader product portfolio.
• Develop multi-year product roadmaps informed by customer needs, technology trends, competitive intelligence, and business objectives.
• Translate complex system-level requirements and engineering tradeoffs into product strategies, product definitions, and actionable requirements.
• Define product concepts and support the new product introduction process from initial requirements through commercialization and launch.
• Develop business cases for new products and present investment recommendations to executive leadership.
• Partner with engineering teams to define product requirements, technical differentiation, architectures, and development priorities.
• Evaluate competitive products, technologies, architectures, and relevant embedded computing form factors.
• Manage product-line financial performance, including revenue, cost, profitability, investment priorities, and portfolio lifecycle decisions.
• Work with sales teams, customers, and partners to understand market requirements and identify new product opportunities.
• Participate in customer engagements and provide technical support during complex RF, DSP, FPGA, and embedded-system discussions.
• Develop technical presentations, product collateral, training materials, and other product communications.
• Monitor portfolio performance and recommend product enhancements, investments, or lifecycle changes.
• Support secure customer engagements when required.
• Influence cross-functional teams and drive positive outcomes without direct authority.
• Communicate complex RF, DSP, FPGA, and embedded technologies effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a closely related technical discipline; a Master's degree is preferred.
• 7+ years of experience in RF, DSP, FPGA, embedded electronics, or related defense and embedded technology markets.
• Strong technical understanding of FPGA architectures, RF systems, and digital signal processing.
• Strong understanding of the complete RF-to-digital signal chain, including RF front ends, data converters, FPGA processing, and DSP.
• Demonstrated ability to understand real-world hardware implementations, not solely theoretical RF or DSP concepts.
• Experience with embedded electronics and/or embedded software.
• Experience evaluating system-level technical tradeoffs involving performance constraints, architecture, cost, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Ability to translate technical concepts into product requirements, product definitions, and business cases.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively with engineering, sales, customers, suppliers, and executive leadership.
• Previous product management experience with FPGA, DSP, RF, mixed-signal, or embedded computing products is preferred.
• Direct experience designing products involving FPGA, DSP, and RF or mixed-signal technologies is preferred.
• Experience with rugged embedded computing, COTS products, defense, aerospace, or other high-reliability applications is preferred.
• Experience developing multi-year product roadmaps, product strategies, and executive-level investment proposals is preferred.
• Experience with NPI/NPD launches and product lifecycle management is preferred.
• Familiarity with military standards and defense product requirements development is preferred.
• Experience delivering customer-facing technical presentations, product demonstrations, and strategic engagements is preferred.
• Experience managing product profitability, revenue, costs, and portfolio performance is preferred.

• Salary range of $120,000 to $160,000 per year.
• Relocation assistance.
• Minimal travel requirements.
• Opportunity to shape next-generation RF, DSP, FPGA, and mixed-signal embedded computing products.
• High-impact, visible role working with customers, engineering, sales, and company leadership.
• Collaborative environment that values engineering expertise, innovation, and technical problem-solving.
• Career growth opportunities within a global technology organization.
• Work on technically challenging, mission-critical products serving defense, aerospace, industrial, and commercial applications.
