Ezurio is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own our Single Board Computer (SBC) portfolio end to end, spanning both our established SBC lines and our newly acquired Gateworks industrial SBC family. This is a senior, hands-on product leadership role for someone with a strong hardware background who can drive commercial and technical decisions across the full SBC lifecycle: growing the standard portfolio, leading custom SBC programs, and owning the customer relationship for sustaining boards already in the field. You will join a product management team covering Ezurio's full connectivity and compute portfolio, reporting to the VP of Product Management & Marketing. This is a newly created role reflecting Ezurio's continued investment in growing its SBC business.
Preferred work location is onsite in Irvine, CA, with remote work available for candidates based on the West Coast. Legal authorization to work in the US is required.RESPONSIBILITIESSBC Portfolio Strategy & Growth - Own product strategy and roadmap across the combined SBC portfolio: established SBC families built on NXP i.MX processors, and the Gateworks industrial SBC line (NXP i.MX 8M+, 95 Catalina family, and successors).
- Identify and prioritize new standard SBC opportunities across industrial, defense, aerospace, and medical markets, building on Ezurio's AS9100D and ISO 9001 certified, US-manufactured position.
- Define the integration strategy across Ezurio's SBC portfolios: rationalize overlapping form factors and processor platforms, and present one coherent SBC story to the market.
- Own competitive positioning against SOM/SBC vendors (Toradex, Digi, Variscite, SECO, and similar) and against specialist rugged and defense SBC suppliers.
- Partner with the appropriate product and engineering teams on the software strategy for the SBC portfolio, including BSP support model, software lifecycle commitments, platform roadmap alignment, and the customer-facing software value proposition across the SBC portfolio.
Customer Sustaining & Lifecycle Management - Serve as the primary commercial and technical owner for sustaining requests on shipped custom and standard SBCs, working closely with sales, engineering, and operations.
- Lead a structured intake and review process for sustaining requests, assessing scope and impact before work begins.
- Own portfolio decisions on which SBC customer relationships to continue supporting long term versus transitioning toward end of life or last time buy.
- Define commercial terms for sustaining engagements in statements of work and quotes, including re-qualification costs, notice periods, and customer approval processes.
- Own customer communication and formal acknowledgment of Product Change Notices (PCNs) affecting sustained boards, partnering with Customer Service.
- Own the product and roadmap decisions for this portfolio, working alongside program management, sales, and customer service resources who support day-to-day execution with customers and engineering, so you are never working alone.
Custom SBC Program Leadership - Own the commercial qualification and business case for new custom SBC programs, from initial request through quoting and award.
- Serve as the primary commercial point of contact for custom program engagements, partnering closely with sales throughout the customer relationship.
- Partner directly with Engineering program management as the commercial counterpart, providing end-to-end ownership from kick-off through sustaining.
- Partner with engineering leadership on schedule, budget, and risk visibility for active custom programs.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Customer Engagement - Represent SBC sustaining and custom program status in quarterly business reviews and leadership updates.
- Drive cross-functional alignment across sales, engineering, operations, and customer success to maintain a consistent, shared view of sustaining and custom program status.
- Act as the direct technical and commercial interface for key sustaining and custom program accounts, supporting sales and customer success on complex, long-running customer relationships.
REQUIREMENTS- Strong hardware background: hands-on understanding of hardware design and the PCB design cycle, BOM management, and hardware manufacturing processes, sufficient to be personally credible with engineering and manufacturing teams.
- Deep working knowledge of NXP and Texas Instruments processor platforms as applied specifically to single board computers: board integration, custom design trade-offs, and long-life sustaining, not just SOM level concepts.
- Direct experience with custom hardware co-development programs (NRE-based or joint development agreements), including their commercial structuring: statements of work, quoting, and change orders.
- Demonstrated ability to own complex, cross-functional decisions across sales, engineering, operations, and customer success.
- Experience managing sustaining and end-of-life decisions on a mature installed customer base.
- A track record of building process and ownership structure in ambiguous, fast-growing environments.
- Acts as the accountable leader for complex, cross-functional business and product decisions.
- Technically credible with engineering on hardware depth, and commercially credible with sales and executive leadership on business judgment.
- A builder who creates process and structure in fast-growing, evolving environments.
- Commercially minded, balancing strong long-term customer partnership with sound commercial and contractual judgment.
- High-output, low-maintenance operator who can independently turn ambiguous business needs into clear decisions, operating cadence, and follow-through without requiring heavy direction.
EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE- 8+ years of combined experience in product management, hardware engineering, or technical program management within embedded computing, SBC/SOM, or industrial electronics.
- Experience in medical, defense, aerospace, industrial, or other long-lifecycle, high-reliability markets, including familiarity with AS9100D or comparable quality systems.
- Experience integrating acquired product lines or brands into an existing portfolio.
- Familiarity with SMARC and/or OSM form factors and their ecosystems.
- A background that blends hardware engineering and product or commercial roles, for example a former hardware engineer, FAE, or program manager who has moved into product management.
