Department Overview Silvus Technologies, a leading provider of advanced MANET and MIMO communications systems, is reshaping mesh network technology for mission-critical applications – on the ground, in the air and at sea. Its battle-proven StreamCaster family of MANET radios and proprietary MN-MIMO waveform provides the vital communications link for defense, law enforcement and public safety agencies around the world, and in the toughest operational environments. Silvus Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, Inc. Job Description Would you like to join an incredibly talented group of people, doing very challenging work, with the prime directive of “ Keeping Our Heroes Connected ”? THE OPPORTUNITY Silvus is seeking a highly motivated Technical Product Manager (TPM) (Spectrum Dominance) 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. 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. However, this position is eligible for 100% remote work depending on location for candidates based in the US, with a willingness to travel up to 25-50% of the time to support field testing, customer integrations, customer meetings, and Silvus office locations. The following is a list of at least some of the current essential job functions of the position. Management may assign or reassign duties and responsibilities at any time at its discretion. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES Product Definition & Technical Execution 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. Tactical Lifecycle & Agile Backlog Management 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. Customer Integration & Cross-Functional Alignment 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.
