Product Manager - Industrial Solutions

Picarro, Inc

13h • $120,000 - $140,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Picarro is looking for a product-minded builder to join our Industrial Solutions team as a Product Manager. You will define what gets built, why it matters, and how it works. You will own outcomes, not just a backlog. You will own features end-to-end and shape the roadmap within Picarro’s fastest-growing verticals: continuous fenceline monitoring for chemical manufacturing compliance and industrial workplace monitoring for occupational safety. Both are grounded in the Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) measurement science that makes Picarro instruments the gold standard in precision gas analysis. You will work across the full product lifecycle: customer discovery, requirements, prototyping, launch, and iteration. The products you ship will directly help companies meet complex environmental and safety obligations. That is the mission.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 3–5 years of product management or equivalent experience with direct product ownership responsibilities.
• Demonstrated ability to write sharp requirements and prototype ideas. You close the gap between discovery and delivery.
• AI-forward mindset with hands-on experience applying AI tools, LLMs, or automation to real product problems.
• Experience working within Agile/scrum development as a product owner.
• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Figma, or similar product and design tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to technical and non-technical audiences alike, and able to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Willingness to travel approximately 20% for customer visits, conferences, and industry events.

Nice To Haves

• Proven track record of building and shipping products or features independently, including personal projects, open-source contributions, or internal tools that went beyond your core job responsibilities.
• Familiarity with EPA continuous fenceline monitoring requirements (such as the HON Rule) or comparable environmental/occupational safety regulatory frameworks.
• Background in environmental science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or industrial operations, or knowledge of methane leak detection, emissions monitoring, air quality, or precision gas measurement.
• Experience with cloud-based SaaS or data analytics products for industrial or environmental applications.
• Proficiency with product analytics tools (Pendo, Amplitude, PostHog, or similar).
• Prior experience in a startup or high-growth technology environment.

Responsibilities

• Set priorities and shape the Industrial Solutions roadmap, balancing near-term customer needs and compliance deadlines with longer-term platform investments. Own features end-to-end, from concept to launch to continuous improvement, and be accountable for the results.
• Translate customer insights and market needs into crisp, actionable requirements: MRDs, PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Build low- and high-fidelity prototypes to test ideas early, gather feedback, and de-risk development before engineering investment scales up.
• Conduct structured customer interviews, synthesize field data, and maintain a current view of EPA rulemaking, OSHA requirements, and emerging monitoring technologies. Use what you learn to make confident prioritization decisions, even with incomplete information.
• Serve as the product owner in Agile sprint cycles (planning, backlog grooming, story review, and retrospectives). Partner closely with R&D, engineering, data science, QA, and field teams. Make the tradeoff calls, remove blockers, and keep delivery on track and on spec.
• Own product positioning, sales enablement materials, and competitive intelligence for your features. Partner with marketing and sales on launch planning and support pre-sales technical discussions with key accounts.
• Define success metrics before you build. Track performance post-launch, report results to leadership, and drive a continuous loop of feedback, data, and iteration.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) plans
• Life, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays
• Employee Referral Program
• 401K
• Social events (summer picnic, holiday party, team lunches, etc.)
• On-site Health & Wellness programs (fitness challenges, outdoor bootcamp, flu-shots, etc.)
