Your playground 

Our products live outdoors, far from everything, with no power outlet and no Wi-Fi. Every product decision is a balance between energy autonomy, cellular connectivity, ruggedness and customer experience. 

• Connected cameras deployed in the field and updated remotely throughout their lifetime. 
• End-to-end integration: firmware, electronics, mechanical, mobile app and cloud platform. 
• Multidisciplinary teams in Montréal and Victoriaville, working with manufacturing partners and component suppliers. 

What you'll do 

Vision & roadmap 

• Own the delivery roadmap and rollout strategies for your products, in partnership with the Product Director and aligned with business objectives. 
• Translate customer, field and market needs into clear, measurable priorities. 
• Balance short-term needs against the platform's long-term vision. 

Backlog & delivery 

• Own and prioritize the backlog: user stories, use cases and acceptance criteria (in partnership with a BA depending on the project). 
• Gather and document functional and non-functional requirements with solution architects and the firmware, electronics and mechanical teams. 
• Lead backlog refinement, sprint and release planning, and demos. 
• Coordinate dependencies across hardware, firmware, app and cloud, as well as with manufacturing partners and suppliers. 

Quality & product lifecycle 

• Take part in design reviews, acceptance testing and deployment readiness. 
• Drive post-launch stabilization: defect prioritization, fix tracking and updates across the installed base. 
• Use field data (telemetry, diagnostics, customer and support feedback) to prioritize and measure the value delivered. 
• Build connected-device security requirements and, when needed, certification milestones into the plan. 

Governance & stakeholders 

• Provide visibility on the roadmap, risks and mitigation plans within physical product development governance. 
• Align technical, operations, marketing, sales and support teams around the product vision. 

What you need 

• 7+ years as a Product Owner, Product Manager or in a hybrid role. 
• Hands-on experience with connected physical products: cameras, IoT, consumer electronics or embedded systems. 
• A solid understanding of firmware and electronics development and their constraints. 
• Proficiency in Agile (Scrum, Kanban), Jira and Confluence. 
• A university degree in engineering, computer science, information systems or a related field. 
• Fluency in French and English: you'll work frequently with contacts outside Quebec. 

What will set you apart 

• Cellular connectivity and IoT, energy-autonomy constraints. 
• New product development through to production, working with manufacturing partners. 
• Deploying and managing a large fleet of devices.
