Sniffspace and Dogsense live in the gap between a working prototype and a product you can ship. You will run the tight iteration loops that close that gap, keeping our hardware and product teams moving from rough builds to polished systems ready for commercialization.

The Systems

Sniffspace presents breath samples to detection dogs. Dogsense is our 8-channel canine BCI. Both are moving from R&D prototypes toward commercial-grade products, built in-house across mechanical, electronics, and firmware, with rapid prototyping and 600+ vendor parts.

What You Will Do

• Run tight iteration loops on Sniffspace and Dogsense, from prototype to polished product.
• Keep hardware and product teams aligned on priorities, timelines, and build readiness.
• Turn ambiguous R&D goals into clear milestones, owners, and schedules.
• Manage vendors, builds, and testing so each iteration lands on time and to spec.
• Track what is blocking each loop and clear it before it slows the team.
• Pioneer the launch of our product globally, to usher a new way of canine-human interaction for canine teams around the world.

What Success Looks Like (6 Months)

• Sniffspace and Dogsense move through iteration cycles on a predictable, visible cadence.
• The team knows what is shipping next, by when, and who owns it.
• At least one platform has crossed from prototype to commercialization-ready.

You Are a Good Fit If

• You have 3 to 5 years or more of experience, including 1 to 3 years as a PM in a hardware-focused role.
• You spent 1 to 2 years as an IC in a strong mechanical or electronics R&D team before moving into PM work.
• You can hold technical detail and timeline in your head at once, and translate between the two.
• You bring order to fast, messy iteration without slowing it down.
• You are comfortable owning outcomes across teams you do not directly manage.

Valuable but Not Required

• You have taken a hardware product from prototype to commercial release.
• You have managed vendor and manufacturing relationships.
• You have worked in a regulated or precision-critical hardware environment.

What You Will Get

• A direct hand in shipping the physical systems behind a test published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and covered in Scientific American and New Scientist.
• Ownership of the loops that decide how fast breath-based cancer detection reaches people.
• A small, interdisciplinary team spanning engineers, scientists, clinicians, and working detection dogs. The office is never boring.
