Product Lead — Industrial Safety & Zone Monitoring Systems
Shape how advanced sensing technology is safely deployed in real-world industrial environments. This role offers the opportunity to lead the integration and adoption of cutting-edge sensor technology within safety-critical systems across industries such as robotics, automation, smart infrastructure, and industrial operations.
You will play a key role in translating complex engineering capabilities into practical, deployable solutions—ensuring customers can confidently design, implement, and certify systems that rely on high-performance sensing technology.
Role Overview
The Product Lead for Safety and Zone Monitoring is responsible for bridging the gap between advanced sensor technology and real-world industrial safety applications. This role combines technical product leadership, customer engagement, and documentation strategy to ensure seamless integration into safety systems.
You will guide customers through the implementation process, develop best-in-class technical resources, and influence how safety features are delivered and adopted across industrial environments. This is a highly interactive role that involves both strategic thinking and hands-on engagement with customers in the field.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Integration & Technical Enablement
Partner directly with customers to support the design and deployment of safety-critical systems using advanced sensing technologies. Provide hands-on guidance during system setup and integration to ensure successful implementation.
Travel to customer sites as needed to assist with system bring-up, troubleshooting, and optimization of safety configurations.
Safety System Design Support
Collaborate with customers to architect solutions that meet industrial safety requirements, including zone monitoring and machine safety applications.
Provide expertise on integrating sensors with safety controllers and communication protocols to ensure compliance and performance.
Technical Documentation Leadership
Own and evolve the documentation strategy for safety-related features, including user guides, integration manuals, and technical resources.
Develop clear, structured, and highly accessible documentation that simplifies complex concepts through visual aids, real-world examples, and step-by-step guidance.
Continuously refine documentation based on customer feedback and real-world implementation challenges.
Product & Field Feedback Loop
Gather insights from customer interactions and field deployments to inform product improvements and future feature development.
Act as a key voice of the customer, ensuring that product capabilities align with real-world use cases and safety requirements.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with engineering teams to align product features with customer needs and technical constraints. Participate in discussions around firmware, communication protocols, and system capabilities.
Industry Standards & Best Practices
Ensure solutions and documentation align with relevant industrial safety standards and best practices. Help customers navigate certification requirements and compliance considerations.
Required Qualifications
Professional Experience
At least five years of experience in engineering, technical product management, or applications engineering within industrial automation, robotics, sensing technologies, or related fields.
Industrial Safety Expertise
Familiarity with safety-critical systems, including zone monitoring applications, safety controllers (such as safety PLCs), and protective technologies like light curtains.
Technical Knowledge
Ability to engage in detailed technical discussions involving system architecture, communication protocols (e.g., industrial fieldbus or safety communication standards), and firmware-level features.
Customer-Focused Mindset
Strong understanding that successful product adoption depends on clear guidance, reliable integration, and customer confidence in system performance and safety compliance.
Communication & Documentation Skills
Exceptional ability to create and refine technical documentation, ensuring clarity for both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong verbal communication skills for direct customer interaction.
What Makes a Strong Candidate
Comfort working directly with customers in both remote and on-site environments.
Ability to simplify complex engineering concepts into practical, actionable guidance.
Experience balancing technical depth with user experience and product usability.
Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to troubleshoot real-world system challenges.
Interest in shaping how advanced sensing technologies are applied in industrial safety use cases.
Why This Role Matters
This position plays a critical role in ensuring that advanced sensing technologies are not only powerful but also usable, safe, and accessible in real-world industrial environments. By guiding customers through implementation and improving the tools and documentation that support them, you will directly contribute to safer, smarter automation systems across industries.
This is an opportunity to influence both product direction and customer success while working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and practical industrial application.
