Manager, Product Management

🔷 Tucson, AZ | Aerospace & Avionics
🔷 9/80 schedule option with every other Friday off

At Universal Avionics, we build technology that helps people fly, operate, and maintain aircraft more safely and efficiently. As Manager, Product Management, you’ll help decide what we build next.

You’ll work directly with aerospace customers around the world to understand where better technology could change how they operate. Then you’ll own the roadmap and revenue models for our connected avionics software and aircraft data products, working with engineering to turn those opportunities into products customers can use.

What You’ll Do

• Set the product direction. Own the vision, roadmap, and revenue models for connected avionics software and aircraft data analytics. Use customer feedback, market trends, and emerging technology to decide where UA should invest.
• Get close to the customer. Work with airlines, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance and repair providers, and avionics integrators. Learn how they operate and where better tools or information could improve safety, save time, or help them make a better call.
• Turn ideas into products. Translate customer needs into clear requirements, prioritize what gets built, and work with engineering, data science, and program management from concept through launch and ongoing improvement.
• Grow the portfolio. Represent UA’s products in customer meetings, proposals, and industry events. Build partnerships that expand what we can offer through software, data, and services.

What You’ll Bring

• At least five years of relevant technical, operational, or business experience in aviation or a related industry.

• A bachelor’s degree or international equivalent in business, engineering, aviation, or a related field.

• Experience turning customer feedback into product requirements or solutions and building partnerships that support business goals.

• Experience with API-driven products, data marketplaces, cloud platforms, and analytics tools. Proficiency with Microsoft Office.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. You can explain technical tradeoffs, make a clear business case, and bring teams together around a decision.

• Ability to travel up to 25%, sometimes on short notice.

Experience That Stands Out

• Building or growing SaaS products, including experience with secure, scalable cloud deployment or monitoring how software performs in production.

• Experience with predictive analytics, AI, or machine learning.

• Familiarity with aircraft systems, avionics data, aviation certification, or aerospace cybersecurity.

• Experience with iOS applications or embedded real-time software.
