Technical Product Manager

Novity®, a spin-out from Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), brings truly predictive maintenance (PdM) technology to the industrial manufacturing sector to reduce costly unplanned downtime. The Novity solution is an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology that uses IIoT sensors and proprietary algorithms to enable industrial manufacturers to see the future health of their production assets. The Novity TruPrognostics™ engine relies on a combination of machine learning and physics-based models of equipment. This allows Novity to predict equipment failures with 90 percent or better accuracy and lead times of months, not weeks or days. 

Novity has an immediate opening for a technical product manager or product development engineer with experience in product management and a strong technical background. The ideal candidate will be passionate about defining and driving a strong product vision within the engineering and product teams. If you are exceptionally adept at both product management work and technical work and would like an opportunity to leverage both skill sets simultaneously, then this opportunity can be a great fit! 

This position is a remote position with a strong preference for West Coast-based candidates due to time zone considerations.
