After growing 1000% for three consecutive years, we’ve become the fastest-growing smart locker company in the world and one of Europe’s top scale-ups. We’re now looking for a Hardware Product Manager to join our innovative team and become our next #bloqstar.
What you’ll be doing:
- Owning the end-to-end hardware lifecycle for new and existing modules, from discovery and prototyping to certification, pilot, and production scale.
- Defining and maintaining the product roadmap, aligning milestones and success metrics with Product and Hardware leadership.
- Translating business and operational needs into clear, testable requirements with documented risks and mitigations.
- Leading design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA), improving testability, and supporting cost optimization without compromising quality.
- Running focused experiments to explore next-generation products and guide trade-offs with data.
- Coordinating delivery across Mechanical, Electronics, Firmware, Software, and Operations — ensuring smooth handoffs and timely execution.
- Turning supplier, customer, and field feedback into actionable product decisions.
- Leading reliability and compliance strategies (CE, EMC, safety, accessibility), defining test methods, thresholds, and documentation.
- Running pilot builds, analyzing telemetry and field data, and improving specifications before mass production.
- Establishing and tracking hardware KPIs and maintaining a repeatable, scalable launch process.
What you’ll bring to the table
- Proven experience as a Product Manager or Technical Lead in hardware or electro-mechanical products, with ownership across design and production phases.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and experience working with global teams at scale.
- A track record of driving measurable improvements in cost (BOM), yield, and reliability.
- Solid understanding of electronics and firmware integration — able to reason about system-level trade-offs without necessarily coding.
- Strong systems-thinking mindset with clear communication, prioritization, and decision-making abilities.
- Experience with lifecycle tools, quality systems, Jira, and change control processes.
- Fluency in English (spoken and written).
It would be great if you would also have:

About Bloq.it
At Bloq.it, we provide end-to-end solutions for Smart Lockers, and our software ecosystem, Bloq.it OS, is the leading tech solution available in the market.
We've had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest names in e-commerce, logistics, and retail in Europe, such as Vinted and DHL.
We have recently become the fastest-growing Smart Locker company in the world. Before Bloq.it the industry had stagnated and lacked innovation and good products. We strive to have the same impact in this industry as Tesla has had on the car industry.
We believe that Smart Lockers are a big part of the future for everyone, and we want to play our part in making sure that Smart Lockers become as mainstream as the mobile phone.
