<div><strong>About Alcatraz AI</strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>At Alcatraz, we're on a mission to redefine access control with modern, AI-powered facial authentication. Our technology protects some of the world's most innovative companies — Fortune 500 enterprises, data centers, healthcare institutions, stadiums, and airports — and we're just getting started.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Built and designed in the United States, our Rock family of devices uses 3D sensing and AI to deliver frictionless, privacy-first authentication at scale. With a $50M Series B behind us, we're accelerating across hardware, software, and platform — and looking for bold, curious builders to grow with us.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>The Role</strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We're looking for a Staff or Principal Hardware Product Manager to own product strategy and execution for Alcatraz's hardware portfolio — our compact multi-modal device and our ruggedized outdoor and government module — along with the mobile credential experiences that extend them..</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This is a senior, high-autonomy individual-contributor role. You'll set direction for a multi-product hardware portfolio, write the specifications that Hardware Engineering, Industrial Design, ML, and Software teams build directly from, and represent product in every major cross-functional forum — from architecture reviews to executive roadmap updates. You'll report to product leadership and work closely with Hardware Engineering, Firmware, Platform/Software, and Product Marketing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div><strong>What You'll Do<br></strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Own product strategy and the multi-year roadmap for Alcatraz's hardware portfolio, deciding how each product — compact multi-modal, ultra-compact face module, and ruggedized outdoor/government module — is positioned against the others and against the market.</li>
<li>Write and maintain detailed PRDs — scope, relevant leads, feature rationale, and requirements with P0–P3 acceptance criteria — that Engineering, Design, and QA build, design, and test from without re-litigating the spec.</li>
<li>Partner with Hardware Engineering, Industrial Design, ML/Face Pipeline, and Platform teams to drive programs from concept through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass-production readiness, including system-on-module and key component trade-off decisions.</li>
<li>Define the roadmap and requirements for mobile credentials, including companion app experiences and physical/digital credential interoperability (NFC, BLE, PKI-based issuance).</li>
<li>Own the requirements behind regulated and enterprise-grade use cases — government credentialing (PIV), cryptographic root-of-trust and certificate issuance, and the compliance work (e.g., FIPS 140-3) that gates the government vertical.</li>
<li>Translate customer discovery, competitive analysis, and market sizing into MRDs that justify new hardware programs and prioritize the roadmap.</li>
<li>Partner with Finance and Sales on commercial model decisions — pricing, packaging, and tiering — for hardware and platform software.</li>
<li>Drive structured program reviews and risk registers, and translate technical complexity into clear, decision-ready narratives for executive leadership.</li>
<li>Lead recurring cross-functional forums (weekly program and hardware syncs, working groups) and act as the connective tissue between Engineering, Product Marketing, Sales, Partnerships, and Customer Success — without direct authority over any of them.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Required</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>8+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years owning physical hardware products through a full lifecycle — concept through EVT/DVT/PVT to mass production and launch.</li>
<li>Demonstrated ownership of multiple concurrent hardware (and adjacent firmware/software) product lines in a fast-moving environment.</li>
<li>Fluency writing detailed, engineering-ready PRDs and driving cross-functional execution across Hardware, Firmware, ML, and Software teams.</li>
<li>Working knowledge of embedded systems, sensing hardware (3D sensing or camera pipelines a strong plus), and NPI/stage-gate processes.</li>
<li>A track record of shipping products in physical security, access control, IoT, or edge AI hardware.</li>
<li>Excellent written and verbal communication — comfortable moving between a component-level trade-off discussion and an executive roadmap review in the same day.</li>
<li>Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Nice to Have</strong></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Experience with biometric authentication, facial recognition, or computer vision products.</li>
<li>Familiarity with government and enterprise compliance standards (FIPS 140-3, PIV/PIV-I, PKI-based credentialing).</li>
<li>Experience with mobile credentialing technologies (NFC, BLE, UWB) and companion mobile apps.</li>
<li>Experience in a Series B–D startup scaling hardware from pilot to commercial deployment.</li>
<li>PMP or equivalent program management certification.</li>
</ul>
