The Role
Lead the transformation of advanced sensing platforms into market-ready IoT products, managing firmware, hardware, and product strategy from development to deployment.
Summary Generated by Built In

Milwaukee Electronics is hiring a Technical Product Owner to lead the transformation of advanced sensing platforms into market-ready IoT monitoring products within our Sensometer product line.

This is not a coordination role.
This is not a requirements-writing-only role.

You will own the product from first customer conversation through field deployment and release.

We’re building remote monitoring solutions for industrial infrastructure — starting in oil & gas — where measurements are messy, environments are harsh, and reliability matters.

If you enjoy turning complex technical systems into real-world products that ship, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

You will operate across firmware, hardware, and product strategy:

  • Lead embedded firmware development
  • Design and validate analog front-end circuits and sensor interfaces
  • Prototype and test hardware systems
  • Translate ambiguous customer needs into executable technical requirements
  • Drive product testing, certification, and release
  • Collaborate across engineering, sales, mechanical, and project teams
  • Deploy and validate products in real-world field environments

You won’t hand things off and walk away. You’ll own them.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • 7+ years in embedded systems, product development, or technical ownership
  • Experience with analog measurement systems and filtering techniques
  • Low-power and battery-operated device design
  • Wireless communication experience (cellular, LoRa, satellite, etc.)
  • Shipped products in industrial or infrastructure environments
  • Ability to move between disciplines without losing momentum
  • Comfortable traveling up to 15% for customer site visits

Bonus points if you’ve worked in oil & gas, utilities, corrosion monitoring, or industrial sensing.

Why Milwaukee Electronics?

We’re known as a leading EMS provider — but our internal engineering team designs and owns our own products. Sensometer and ACG serve industrial customers directly.

Our engineering team is 12 people.
Decisions are fast.
Bureaucracy is minimal.
Impact is real.

This role offers broad scope, significant autonomy, and visibility into every stage of product development.

If you’re someone who:

  • Thinks in systems
  • Takes ownership of outcomes
  • Learns quickly from field feedback
  • Prefers building over debating

We’d like to talk.
