Your Responsibilities

• Define and own the hardware product roadmap across all ROLI instruments, aligning with company strategy and product vision.
• Translate strategic goals into clear product requirements, specifications, and milestones from early concept through mass production.
• Collaborate with industrial design, mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software teams to deliver beautifully integrated systems.
• Lead hardware development cycles, including prototype validation, user testing, and manufacturing readiness.
• Partner with suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability.
• Manage timelines, risks, and costs to keep programs on track and aligned with business goals.
• Balance innovation and feasibility, pushing boundaries while maintaining manufacturability and performance.
• Communicate progress, learnings, and tradeoffs with cross-functional leadership and executive stakeholders.

Who We’re Looking For

• You have 8+ years of product management experience in hardware or integrated product environments, with a strong record of delivering successful consumer electronics or musical instruments.
• You’ve worked closely with industrial design, mechanical, and electrical engineering teams, and you’re comfortable navigating detailed discussions across all domains.
• You have a solid understanding of CAD, materials, and manufacturing processes, ideally with experience in mechanical or systems engineering.
• You thrive in environments where design and technology intersect, managing complex trade-offs between aesthetics, performance, and cost.
• You understand the full hardware product lifecycle, from early concept and prototyping to production ramp-up and post-launch refinement.
• You have experience managing supplier relationships, production schedules, and quality assurance processes.
• You’re an excellent communicator and collaborator, able to inspire diverse teams and align them around a shared vision.
• You may hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Industrial Design, or you’ve gained equivalent hands-on expertise through experience building and shipping physical products.

It’s music to our ears if:

• You’ve worked on music hardware or expressive input devices that merge design, performance, and digital integration.
• You’ve collaborated with global manufacturers or hardware startups scaling production.
• You’re passionate about human-centered design and believe in creating technology that feels alive in the hands of creators.
