Team Overview:

Voyantic, part of Impinj, is the test and measurement leader for the RAIN RFID and NFC ecosystem. We are looking for an outward-facing product leader — someone whose center of gravity sits at the customer and market boundary, not internal execution alone. You will sit on the management team, report to the General Manager, and lead a small, focused product team spanning product management and solution architecture.

Voyantic is also taking its first steps in building cloud solutions on top of its testing and encoding products. A defining part of this role is to shape that vision and lead the effort to make it real.

What You Will Do:

• Own the overall product vision and strategy, anchored in a market thesis rather than the latest customer request, and balancing growth, market share, and profitability.
• Build and lead Voyantic’s emerging cloud offering on top of the testing and encoding products — from vision through architecture, commercial model, and go-to-market — working closely with engineering, Sales, and Finance.
• Identify the new applications and segments that keep Voyantic the leader in RAIN RFID and NFC test and measurement.
• Be a credible, trusted voice with sophisticated customers and partners — inlay and tag manufacturers, brand owners, integrators, and the Impinj ecosystem — earning it through fluency in their production realities.
• Drive product-market fit: synthesize first-hand understanding across many customers into clear direction, and judge the right way to meet each need — whether that is product development or enablement such as application guidance and support material for a specific use case.
• Build technology partnerships — together with the Solution Architect — with complementary equipment manufacturers (for example printers, cameras, visual inspection systems, punchers, or other machines), so Voyantic can offer customers an extended, integrated product.
• Develop the strategic partnerships that open new segments — business development in the strategic sense, with Sales owning deal-level pursuit — and represent Voyantic externally, reinforcing its independent, vendor-neutral position.
• Lead and develop the product team — product managers own their product roadmaps — while you set overall direction and keep prioritization and lifecycle discipline strong, freeing you to spend your time outward.
• Partner with R&D, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations across the full product

What You Will Bring:

• 10+ years in product management for technically complex products combining hardware and software (deep-tech or test and measurement)
• Proven experience building or leading cloud, SaaS, or platform products — ideally linking hardware to cloud-based services — able to define the vision and lead execution, not just oversee it
• A strong understanding of industrial production and manufacturing processes — where quality and yield are won or lost, and how test, measurement, and encoding fit in. We value this above deep RFID or RF expertise
• A genuinely outward, customer- and market-driven approach, with the judgment to form a clear product thesis, and comfort operating at the product–business boundary
• Ability to build trusted partnerships at all levels, internally and externally, in a multicultural setting, with excellent communication
• Familiarity with RAIN RFID, NFC, or adjacent RF technologies is useful but not required — the domain depth can be learned on the job
