## About the role

Motive is investing deeply in Connected Devices as the physical backbone of our platform, and Equipment Monitoring is one of the largest growth opportunities in the portfolio. We help customers track, protect, and optimize a vast range of assets — trailers, reefer units, construction equipment, small tools, and cargo — using rugged, purpose-built devices such as the Asset Gateway, Motive Beacon, and Environmental Sensor, alongside partner networks and OEM integrations through the AEMP 2.0 ecosystem.

## What they're looking for

- Demonstrated ownership of field reliability — you've been the PM when a deployed product was failing, and you can describe how you found the cause, what you changed, and what the number looked like afterward
- Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives and influence roadmaps across engineering, operations, and GTM without direct authority
- Customer empathy paired with data fluency — you run discovery in the real world as comfortably as you pull device telemetry and field-performance data, and use both to prioritize
- Excellent written and verbal communication , with the ability to move fluently between executives, hardware and firmware engineers, cloud engineers, GTM teams, and customers without losing signal
- Trailblazer mindset — humble, kind, curious, and open to learning, with a strong bias to action and a willingness to commit and disagree productively
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, Industrial Design, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
