Technical Product Manager - (Spectrum Dominance)

Motorola Solutions•Irvine, CA

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

Silvus Technologies, a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, is seeking a highly motivated Technical Product Manager (TPM) to drive technical requirements, backlog ownership, market adoption, and revenue growth of its Spectrum Dominance product portfolio. This role is crucial for translating complex defense requirements and advanced R&D algorithms into software features, firmware builds, and intuitive operator experiences. The TPM will act as the key technical conduit between the advanced waveform R&D team and engineering, operations, and go-to-market teams, taking technical ownership of Silvus' spectrum dominance suite. The mission is to translate complex mathematical algorithms and signal processing research, specifically in Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) and anti-jamming, into actionable requirements. By bridging the gap between theoretical R&D and reliable military systems engineering, the TPM will ensure Silvus outpaces emerging electronic warfare (EW) threats and delivers robust software-defined spectrum dominance. The position requires up to 25% travel and is located in Irvine, CA, with a hybrid schedule involving days in both Irvine and West Los Angeles.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, RF Engineering, or a highly related technical discipline.
Minimum of 5 years of technical product management or systems engineering experience within the defense, aerospace, or wireless communications industries.
Strong working knowledge of signal processing, wireless communications, RF systems, software-defined radios (SDRs), digital signal processing (DSP), or mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).
Demonstrated experience translating highly complex mathematical algorithms, scientific concepts, or military use cases into structured, clear, and actionable software requirements and user stories.
Proven ability to influence and align cross-functional R&D, engineering, operations, and sales teams without direct authority to meet strict release timelines.
Active U.S. Government SECRET clearance or the ability to obtain one within 15 months of hire.
Must be a U.S. Citizen due to clients under U.S. government contracts.
All employment is contingent upon the successful clearance of a background check and drug test.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with Low Probability of Intercept / Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD), electronic counter-countermeasures, anti-jamming, or spectrum monitoring solutions.
Familiarity with passive RF sensing, spectral analysis, Direction Finding, Angle of Arrival localization, or tactical signal intelligence systems.
Understanding of government compliance targets, military environmental standards (MIL-STD), or security certifications (e.g., FIPS 140-3 and CSfC validation architectures).
Master’s degree in Engineering, RF Engineering, Computer Science, or an MBA from an accredited institution.
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development practices and managing complex backlogs using tools like Jira.

Responsibilities

Translating abstract DoD mission requirements, mathematical signal analysis concepts, and electromagnetic spectrum operations needs into highly structured user stories and technical specifications.
Directly partnering with R&D engineering to translate complex, cutting-edge LPI/LPD and anti-jam techniques into a clear feature set with an intuitive operator experience.
Owning the end-to-end software and firmware backlog, requirements definition, and user experience for the spectrum dominance features.
Partnering with the R&D and software engineering teams to ensure advanced waveforms integrate seamlessly with our MN-MIMO architecture and flagship StreamCaster hardware platforms.
Conducting highly disciplined sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release cadences via Jira to ensure a predictable and rapid delivery pipeline of spectrum dominance software and firmware updates.
Conducting technical and schedule analyses of customer and sales feature requests, evaluating engineering development timelines, and establishing strict scope boundaries to balance schedule constraints against field expectations.
Systematically capturing operational feedback, field trial results, and operator testing notes to continuously evolve backlog user stories and transform field-tested waveforms into robust commercial software solutions.
Responsible for product adoption and collaborating with sales to generate interest and revenue growth for the products.
Measuring and monitoring product performance, defining continuous software refinement cycles to address user experience debt or newly discovered threat vectors and continuing to capture customer and field feedback for product updates.
Bridging the gap between R&D, software engineering, operations, and the GTM teams to align product execution with broader business strategy, software monetization, licensing, and delivery timelines.
Translating market intelligence, upcoming DoD program specifications, and competitor threat assessments into strategic backlog priorities to maintain Silvus' market-leading technology edge.
Performing other related duties as assigned.
