About Forterra At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
Our autonomous vehicle (AV) platform and hardware product ecosystem are delivering real value to real customers today. As a Product team, our mission is to ensure we're solving the right needs, in the right order, to the right scope. Product Managers own outcomes across engineering teams, translating the broader product vision into decisions that hold up in the field.
What they're looking for
- Own the Release: Define what a supported baseline means, what's in it, and when it ships. Establish and enforce the criteria for inclusion — stability, value, resourcing, and risk
- Drive Alignment: Create the artifacts — compatibility matrices, diagrams, decision records — that let programs, engineering, and leadership act on the same picture without you in the room
- Set the Bar: Make mole-hills out of mountains. Keep teams focused, in sync, and focused on the same customer outcomes through calm indirect leadership
- Communicate Proactively: Keep engineering, product leadership, growth, and other stakeholders informed. Share progress, flag issues, and raise tradeoffs early
- Measure Release Health: Define the metrics that tell us whether the baseline is actually stable — in the lab and in the field — and use them to drive the next release
- Escalate When Needed: Raise scope, timeline, and resourcing risks to Product Leadership early enough to act on

Product Managers own outcomes across engineering teams, translating the broader product vision into decisions that hold up in the field.
As the Product Manager for our software product releases, you'll own the cross-functional core product baseline that every Forterra program builds on. You will shepherd what goes into each release across autonomy software, tactical communications, data platform, edge compute hardware, and third-party firmware. Each product sub-team is responsible for delivering a quality, tested, validated product into the Forterra ecosystem--you glue them together, watch for interdependencies, define user-centric tests, and evaluate our products from the perspective of the customer. Acting as the "glue" between engineering, growth, and executives, you answer the question daily: are we building the right things, in the right order, with the right characteristics?
