Responsibilities
Own the product roadmap for Hubble's open-source SDK, firmware reference applications, and embedded developer tools
Drive SDK maturity to support commercialization of Hubble's satellite network, including seamless switching between terrestrial (standard BLE) and satellite (proprietary protocol) modes
Lead product strategy for silicon vendor partnerships, define what 'pre-enabled' means at the firmware level, guide factory image integration, and prioritize vendor roadmap based on market opportunity
Partner closely with principal embedded engineers to make architectural decisions (e.g., upstream to Zephyr vs. maintain proprietary fork, chip-specific vs. hardware-agnostic approaches)
Translate customer feedback and market signals into prioritized technical work that balances 'delight current customers' with 'build for scale'
Define and track success metrics tied to SDK adoption, developer experience, power efficiency, and integration quality
Engage directly with silicon vendors (TI, Nordic, Silab) at a technical level to shape integration roadmaps and resolve implementation challenges
Collaborate with cloud and mobile teams on end-to-end developer experience, from device provisioning to dashboard onboarding
Communicate priorities, tradeoffs, and progress clearly to engineering, leadership, and external partners
Qualification
Required
5–10 years of experience in embedded systems, firmware development, or technical product management in IoT, connectivity, or developer platforms
Deep familiarity with embedded development workflows, experience with Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or similar RTOS environments; comfort discussing power optimization, BLE stacks, and firmware architecture tradeoffs
Hands-on experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications, including protocol-level understanding of advertising, scanning, and connection management
Experience working with silicon vendors (Nordic, TI, Silab, ESP32, etc.) and understanding of SDK integration, chip selection criteria, and developer toolchain considerations
Track record of shipping developer-facing products, SDKs, APIs, reference applications, or developer tools
Ability to engage credibly with senior embedded engineers as a thought partner, not just a requirements gatherer
Strong customer empathy; proven ability to translate user pain points into technical priorities
Experience with open-source projects or communities
Excellent communication skills; able to operate across highly technical engineering discussions and executive-level strategy conversations
Resourceful, hands-on, and comfortable operating in early-stage environments with ambiguity
