Senior Product Manager - SLAM

About Emesent  Emesent is a Brisbane-based world leader in autonomous LiDAR mapping and drone autonomy. Our flagship product, Hovermap, delivers autonomous LiDAR mapping in GPS-denied environments for the Mining and Defence sectors. Our newly launched GX1 brings high-performance handheld LiDAR to surveying and the built environment. Behind both sits a pipeline of future hardware products and a team that takes hard engineering problems from concept to the field. The role  SLAM is the technology under everything Emesent makes. It's what lets Hovermap autonomously fly and map where GPS can't reach, what powers GX1’s extraordinary accuracy in the hands of surveyors, and what our reputation is built on. It's also pulled in a different direction by every industry we serve — mining wants robustness, AEC wants accurate and visually impressive point clouds, and the frontier keeps moving.  This role exists to own that tension. You'll be the Product Manager for our SLAM team, working alongside some of the world's best SLAM engineers to decide where our SLAM investment goes, prove our advantage to the market, and turn deep research capability into products users can verify is the best. You'll report to the Director of Product and partner day-to-day with the SLAM engineering manager. You’ll also work closely with the Senior Product Manager – Data Platform, as the front-end for many of the SLAM improvements delivered by the team.  What you'll achieve in your first 12 months  Set the direction for our SLAM investment. You’ll build the depth of context — through users, engineering, and the market — to create a SLAM technology strategy that determines where our frontier investment goes over the next 2–3 years, including what we're explicitly not pursuing.
