VP of Product and Technical Strategy
About The Position
AnySignal is seeking a VP of Product & Technical Strategy to define and drive product direction across its RF, DSP, and satellite communications product lines. This is a foundational role reporting to the CEO, where the individual will translate complex mission requirements into product strategy, roadmap priorities, and technical narratives. The role involves establishing the product function from the ground up, shaping decision-making in a hardware startup, and working closely with the founding team. Initially hands-on, the position has the mandate to build a product team as the company scales.
Requirements
- Deep technical fluency in RF systems, DSP, satellite communications, Software Defined Radio, or adjacent aerospace and defense hardware, with the credibility to engage senior engineers and technical customers as a peer.
- A track record of translating complex customer requirements into product strategy and roadmap decisions for hardware or deeply technical systems products.
- Strong commercial judgment: fluency in sales cycles, proposals, customer commitments, and market positioning.
- The ability to bring product discipline to a fast-moving, engineering-led culture, adding clarity and alignment without adding bureaucracy.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, from technical collateral to executive strategy.
- An entrepreneurial operating style: comfortable with ambiguity, hands-on by default, and energized by building a function from zero.
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State due to export control regulations.
Nice To Haves
- Experience serving defense, national security, or space customers.
- Hands-on background with SDR platforms, modems, waveforms, phased arrays, or ground systems.
- Familiarity with government contracting and proposal processes (SBIR, BAA, OTA).
- Experience scaling a technical business from custom engineering toward repeatable product lines.
Responsibilities
- Own the product roadmap across current and next-generation product lines, including variant strategy, prioritization of customer requirements, lifecycle planning, and the evolution from customer-specific solutions toward scalable product platforms.
- Drive technical product strategy with customers, engaging as the senior product voice in technical customer conversations, reasoning through RF, DSP, and satcom requirements to shape opportunities.
- Build frameworks that make opportunity qualification and solutioning repeatable across the organization.
- Lead product positioning and enablement by translating deep technical capability into crisp market-facing narratives: product briefs, capability matrices, competitive differentiation, and customer-facing roadmap stories.
- Build the product operating cadence, establishing lightweight rhythms that keep engineering execution, customer timelines, and business priorities connected as the company scales.
- Partner closely with the CEO and engineering leadership on portfolio strategy, build-vs-customize decisions, and long-term product architecture.
