Lead Hardware Product Manager

🎯 Mission

At Vizzia, the Product Manager Hardware owns the product clarity that makes execution possible. You turn business needs, field feedback, and regulatory constraints into hardware definitions that are clear, frozen, and actionable, so teams can build fast, on time, and without rework.
