About the role

  • Own end-to-end pilot and launch execution across multiple concurrent deployments, including goal definition, readiness validation, go/no-go decisions, and the transition from pilot to full fleet production rollout.
  • Monitor device health and performance on a daily basis across all active pilots and production fleets, proactively identifying anomalies, failures, and performance degradation before they become critical blockers.
  • Provide clear, consistent visibility into device status and deployment health to stakeholders through dashboards, reports, and structured communications.
  • Track, report, and escalate issues promptly to the appropriate engineering, firmware, and operations teams, minimizing impact on launch timelines and ensuring rapid resolution of critical blockers.
  • Coordinate closely with engineering, QA, operations, firmware, and product teams to resolve issues, align on priorities, and maintain launch readiness across all active deployments.
  • Define and enforce launch readiness criteria, quality gates, and pilot success metrics to ensure reliable, repeatable deployment outcomes.
  • Drive the transition from manual, reactive monitoring and reporting processes to an automation-first approach, implementing standardized workflows, automated alerting, and scalable reporting systems.
  • Validate device stability, environmental reliability, and system performance before, during, and after deployments to support confident field operations.
  • Perform root cause analysis on deployment and device issues, driving preventative actions and long-term improvements to launch quality and operational resilience.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

  • Hands-on experience monitoring and troubleshooting connected devices, embedded systems, or fleet-scale hardware in production.
  • Strong proficiency in building or improving operational processes, dashboards, alerting systems, and automated monitoring workflows.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, release processes, and automation-first QA methodologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical issues into clear, actionable stakeholder communications.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with experience working across engineering, firmware, product, and operations teams.
