About The Position

Silvus is seeking a highly motivated Technical Product Manager (TPM) to drive requirements, product backlog, market adoption, and revenue growth for the Electronic Warfare (EW) & Sensing Solutions product portfolio. This position will report to the Director of Product Management on the Product team. The successful individual in this role will play a vital role in translating complex defense requirements into specific hardware configurations, software specifications, and intuitive operator experiences. This is a technical execution role requiring a deep understanding of tactical RF networks, signal analysis, sensing systems, and software-defined architectures. This position bridges the gap between tactical EW mission requirements and engineering execution. While Silvus’ core hardware team drives the physical New Product Introduction (NPI) of Silvus’ flagship radio chassis, this role drives the hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) and complete physical lifecycle execution for our highly specialized FASST Sensing Technology and related products. Additionally, you will focus on the tactical application of our core technologies—optimizing our transceiver platforms for edge-node operations and enabling high-performance RF data exchange with downstream processing applications and external tactical ecosystems. You will hold complete technical requirements, hardware NPI, and user experience ownership for our sensor products. The role requires up to 25% of travel to support field testing, customer integrations, or customer meetings. This position is located at Silvus Technologies’ Engineering and R&D Office in Irvine, CA, near the vibrant Irvine Spectrum and is on a hybrid schedule, with one day reporting to our West Los Angeles HQ. On-site days are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at our Irvine office and Thursdays at our West Los Angeles HQ.

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 wireless communications, RF systems, signal processing, software-defined radios (SDRs), mesh networking, or electromagnetic spectrum operations.
Demonstrated ability to translate high-level military or tactical use cases into logical and structured technical requirements.
Proven track record of influencing cross-functional engineering, operations, and sales teams without direct authority to meet rigid release dates.
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 Electronic Warfare (EW), passive sensing, signal collection (DF/AOA), spectrum monitoring, tactical ISR architectures, or electromagnetic anti-jam/LPI/LPD waveform technologies.
Strong systems-level thinking and the capacity to evaluate physical hardware trade-offs alongside firmware/software constraints, with proven familiarity coordinating physical hardware manufacturing, and supply-chain ramp-up.
Master’s degree in 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 high-level tactical EW mission capabilities into granular, software user stories and hardware/sensor configurations.
Directing the technical requirements, driving physical hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) cycles, and validating the end-to-end user experience for the FASST Handheld and LSNRS product portfolios, ensuring operational interfaces and dedicated hardware platforms are optimized for combat and emergency responders in high-stress situations.
Owning and defining how the transceiver operates for edge node operations.
Collaborating closely with hardware and software engineering teams.
Managing sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release cadences for specialized EW-related software features, firmware builds, and technical updates.
Conducting technical analysis of customer feature requests, evaluating engineering timelines, and establishing scope boundaries to balance schedule constraints against field expectations.
Overseeing the technical lifecycle and physical hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) of the FASST and LSNRS products from initial concept, prototype validation, physical manufacturing coordination, and regulatory clearance through development, operational test and evaluation, deployment, and long-term sustainment.
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, engineering, operations, and the go-to-market teams to align product execution with broader business strategy, target BOM costs, and delivery timelines.
Partnering with Sales, Business Development, and Applications Engineering to translate complex operator feedback, program office specifications, and competitive intelligence into actionable feature priorities.
Supporting defense integrators and system engineers in validating plug-and-play integrations of Silvus EW/Sensing technologies into terrestrial, aerial, and maritime platforms.
Ability to travel up to 25% of the time to support field testing, customer integrations or customer meetings.
Perform other related duties of which the above are representative.
