Who you are:

Geotab is seeking a Senior Product Manager, Harness Portfolio who will own the end-to-end strategy, development, and optimization of Geotab's wiring harness portfolio across all device families — telematics, asset tracking, video and off-road. The projects will vary in scope, complexity, and affected business area. If you love technology, and are keen to join an industry leader — we would love to hear from you!

What you'll do:

As a Senior Product Manager, Harness Portfolio, your key area of responsibility will be rationalizing and standardizing the harness portfolio to reduce complexity and time-to-market, driving cost efficiency, and ensuring high standards for installation, documentation, and quality. You will need to work closely with Geotab’s Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Field Installation teams, and various Product Management units.

To be successful in this role you will be a self-starter who can operate independently in a flat organization with minimal direction and possesses excellent written and verbal communication skills. In addition, the successful candidate will have strong analytical and project management skills with the ability to bridge technical engineering requirements with commercial and operational objectives to drive a structured, portfolio-driven platform.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Own the harness portfolio roadmap across all Geotab device families, defining a clear vision for standardization, cost efficiency, data quality and in support of business objectives. Serve as the single point of accountability for harness-related decisions across all product lines.
  • Conduct a comprehensive audit of the existing harness portfolio to identify redundancy, consolidation opportunities, and gaps. 
  • Lead strategies to reduce cost, time-to-market & portfolio complexity working with Operations, Supply Chain and Engineering to achieve objectives. 
  • Collaborate with the installation and field services organization to incorporate installer feedback on harness routing, serviceability, labeling, and ease of installation. 
  • Coordinate with core and regional product teams to manage vehicle-specific and segment needs for harness variants. 
  • Define harness specification templates and ensure consistent documentation across all harness development projects (pinout tables, block diagrams, BOMs, installation instructions). 
  • Track field quality metrics (installation errors, warranty returns, harness-related support cases) and drive root cause analysis and corrective actions. 
  • Own the harness detect system strategy, ensuring intelligent harness identification supports automated device configuration. 
  • Establish reporting frameworks that track portfolio health: SKU count, cost per harness, commonality index, field failure rates, and installation time benchmarks.

What you'll bring to the role:

  • 8+ years of experience in product management or harness engineering with a product focus. 
  • Post-secondary degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field. 
  • Deep understanding of wired harness design principles, manufacturing processes, and automotive electrical architectures (CAN bus, OBD-II/J1939). 
  • Demonstrated track record of driving standardization and cost optimization across a multi-product hardware portfolio through the NPI lifecycle. 
  • Strong analytical skills to conduct cost-benefit analysis, make-vs-buy decisions, and portfolio performance tracking. 
  • Excellent communication and influence skills to align engineering, operations, and commercial teams. 
  • Ability to travel up to 20% of the time to visits contract manufacturers and installation sites

Geotab’s Voluntary Self-Identification Survey

Geotab is committed to fair and equitable treatment for all, and fostering a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion throughout the hiring process and beyond. At Geotab, our unique company culture is built upon the value of “always do the right thing” which is embraced by employees around the world. As a global organization, we continuously seek ways in which we can support both our staff and our communities through programs and partnerships focused on empowering diversity and prioritizing inclusion. 

We invite you to complete this optional survey to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. Submission of the information on this form is strictly voluntary. Opting not to participate will not impact your job application in any way. Information obtained will not be associated with your name or job application in any identifiable manner. This information will be kept secure and confidential and will be used solely to evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. The information collected in this survey is only available to HR staff and Geotab data scientists to view in aggregated data format and not on an individual basis. Your answer will be maintained confidential and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making hiring decisions.

Note to USA Applicants: This is a separate survey from the EEO-1 Voluntary Self Identification Form used in the United States for compliance purposes. We feel that the options found in the mandated survey do not encompass the rich diversity of our applicants, and as such strive to provide additional responses that reflect the landscape more accurately.
