Platform Product Manager - PaaS-IIoT

With over $700 billion in cumulative CAPEX projected to be spent over the next decade at or near the Edge, software platforms will play a pivotal strategic role in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market. It’s expected that more than 50% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the traditional data center or cloud in the coming years.

FreeWave’s vision is to create a virtualized Edge and Fog compute platform, which will be deployed across a variety of IIoT vertical markets including smart agriculture, manufacturing, autonomous drones, smart cities, and smart energy, all of which, will have a dramatic and positive impact on the lives of humans.

Our virtualized Edge software ecosystem will stand on top of FreeWave’s best in class hybrid connectivity solutions which include cellular, proprietary long range sub-GHz, satellite, WiFi and Bluetooth wireless protocols, serving as a backbone for marshaling data up and down a distributed Edge and Fog computation system.

This is a unique opportunity to be at the tip of the spear pertaining to software product innovation covering a wide technology spectrum; you will also be a part of a truly world class team that will deliver on this vision.
