Job description
Silvus is seeking a highly motivated Technical Product Manager (TPM) to drive technical requirements, backlog ownership, market adoption, and revenue growth of our Spectrum Dominance 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 and highly advanced R&D algorithms into software features, firmware builds, and intuitive operator experiences
This is an execution-focused role that acts as the key technical conduit between our advanced waveform R&D team and our engineering, operations, and go-to-market teams
The Technical Product Manager will take technical ownership of Silvus’ spectrum dominance suite
Their 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 Technical Product Manager will ensure Silvus outpaces emerging electronic warfare (EW) threats and delivers robust software-defined spectrum dominance
Requirements Engineering: Translating abstract DoD mission requirements, mathematical signal analysis concepts, and electromagnetic spectrum operations needs into highly structured user stories and technical specifications
Algorithm-to-Feature Translation: 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
Product & Waveform Ownership: Owning the end-to-end software and firmware backlog, requirements definition, and user experience for the spectrum dominance features
Technical Waveform Alignment: 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
Sprint & Backlog Ownership: 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
Scope & Trade-off Analysis: 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
Closed-Loop Feedback Integration: 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
Post-launch Performance and Adoption: 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
Cross-Functional Synergy: 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
Operational Feedback Loop: Translating market intelligence, upcoming DoD program specifications, and competitor threat assessments into strategic backlog priorities to maintain Silvus’ market-leading technology edge
Travel Requirements - Ability to travel up to 25% of the time to support field testing, customer integrations or customer meetings
