From Salient Systems's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Good video security software still needs somewhere reliable to record. At Salient, that means making thoughtful choices about the hardware underneath CompleteView: what we offer, how it performs, what it costs, and how long a customer can count on it.
We’re looking for a Hardware Product & Program Manager to own our recording-platform portfolio and help shape a new way of bringing those platforms to market. This is a role for someone who likes both the product decision and the operating model that makes the decision stick.
Why Salient, and why this role
Salient Systems makes CompleteView, an open video management platform for organizations managing security across many sites. We don’t require customers to buy our recording hardware, but we offer it for those who want a validated platform. Today that portfolio includes PowerProtect, based on Dell platforms, and Vantage, built with a contract manufacturer.
The job has a clear progression. At first, you’ll spend most of your time on hardware product management: the roadmap, platform configurations, performance and cost tradeoffs, lifecycle decisions, and a dependable source of product specifications. Over roughly the next two years, more of your work will be building a certified-manufacturer program: a model in which qualified partners can build and sell Salient-certified platforms under license, with commercial terms and reporting that work in practice.
That progression is the opportunity. Not many roles let you steward a live hardware portfolio and design the partner-led program that changes its economics in the same seat. It is a way to broaden from strong platform product management into commercial and program leadership, with outcomes you can point to on both sides.
This role reports to the VP of Product. You’ll work closely with the people who know the current portfolio as you take ownership of it, rather than being expected to learn two product lines by osmosis.
There is a roadmap for both product lines, a lifecycle policy people can actually use, and a dependable path from validated specs to customer-facing information. Platform pricing and margin decisions are deliberate rather than reactive. The certified-manufacturer program has clearer qualification and commercial mechanics and is beginning to generate measurable royalty revenue.
You will inherit real products, real partners, and real decisions. You will also get to leave the portfolio and the program in better shape than you found them. That’s a satisfying kind of work, and one you can point to long after the launch announcement has scrolled away.
