About SignalQuest SignalQuest is a successful, privately held technology company based in Lebanon, New Hampshire. For more than two decades, SignalQuest has designed and manufactured rugged sensors used in demanding environments across industries including heavy equipment, industrial systems, and machine control. Our sensors are trusted by major OEMs and leading machine control companies worldwide. All engineering and manufacturing are performed onsite in Lebanon. The company is launching a new brand and product line, Kinsman (kinsmanpro.com), to sell GPS jobsite measurement systems to small business earthwork contractors. This is a major market opportunity, and SignalQuest is building the team to make it happen. Position Overview We are looking for an outstanding Product Manager to help build and scale the Kinsman SitePoint product line. SitePoint combines precision GNSS RTK and INS technology, rugged hardware, and an intuitive mobile application to help earthwork contractors measure, lay out, grade, and complete jobs more efficiently. Our goal is to make sophisticated positioning technology useful to contractors who may never have used GPS or traditional machine-control systems before. This is a highly hands-on product role.

positioning, INS, coordinate systems, measurement accuracy, connected hardware, and mobile applications Work effectively with engineering teams on technically complex features without needing to be the engineer implementing them Analyze product usage data, customer behavior, field-test results, and other quantitative information to inform decisions Think rigorously about measurement quality, uncertainty, validation, edge cases, and system behavior Help establish product metrics and instrumentation that allow the team to understand adoption, usability, reliability, and customer value Use data where it improves decisions while recognizing when direct customer observation and judgment are more important Communication & Team Coordination Communicate product direction, requirements, decisions, and priorities clearly across the organization Write concise, precise product documentation that engineers, designers, salespeople, and executives can understand Facilitate productive product discussions and drive ambiguous issues toward clear decisions Maintain clear documentation of final product decisions and specifications Ensure changes to requirements are understood and communicated rather than emerging informally during development Work closely with sales and support teams to understand customer needs and prepare them for new product capabilities Communicate effectively with both highly technical and non-technical audiences Qualifications Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience 5+ years of product management or closely related experience , ideally working on technically sophisticated products Exceptional customer instincts and a demonstrated ability to understand how customers actually work Strong ability to translate customer problems into simple and effective product solutions Excellent written and verbal communication skills Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills High attention to detail and a strong commitment to correctness Demonstrated ability to manage multiple product initiatives and drive work through completion Comfortable working closely with software and hardware engineers on technical subject matter Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar technologies and technical domains Strong judgment when balancing competing customer, technical, schedule, and business considerations Ability to operate effectively with incomplete information and evolving requirements Comfortable working in a fast-moving, startup-style environment with a small team Strong personal organization, follow-through, and ownership Collaborative, low-ego working style Willingness to spend time with customers in the field and learn their work firsthand Preferred Experience Experience managing products involving hardware and software Experience with construction technology, heavy equipment, surveying, machine control, agriculture, industrial technology, robotics, IoT, or other field-based products Experience with GPS, GNSS, RTK, INS, mapping, geospatial data, or positioning technology Experience developing products involving measurement, scientific, engineering, or accuracy-sensitive data Experience working with mobile applications and connected hardware Experience designing workflows for users who are not technical specialists Experience with product analytics, instrumentation, experimentation, and usage data Experience conducting customer interviews, usability testing, and field research Experience working in an early-stage product environment where processes and requirements are still being established Familiarity with agile software development and modern product-development practices What We Value Beyond any particular industry or technology background, we are looking for someone who: Starts with the customer. You want to understand how customers actually work before deciding what the product should do. Makes complicated things simple. You can understand technically sophisticated systems without exposing unnecessary complexity to the customer. Communicates exceptionally well. You can turn ambiguous discussions into clear decisions, requirements, and next steps. Sweats the details. You recognize that small workflow, wording, accuracy, and edge-case decisions can determine whether a product succeeds in the field. Thinks analytically. You break complicated problems into understandable pieces and use evidence and sound reasoning to make decisions. Takes ownership. You do not stop at writing requirements. You stay involved until the product works well for the customer. Are disciplined. You maintain priorities, specifications, timelines, decisions, and follow-up without creating unnecessary process. Learn quickly. You are comfortable becoming knowledgeable in technical subjects that may initially be unfamiliar. Prefer practical solutions. You care more about solving the customer's problem effectively than following fashionable product-management frameworks. Thrive in a fast-moving environment. You are comfortable building a new product, changing direction when evidence warrants it, and figuring things out as the team learns. Enjoy being close to the product. You want to test it, use it, watch customers use it, and understand why something does or does not work. Why Join SignalQuest?
