FAQs

-
OSI PMs work on products that directly impact critical infrastructure and industrial operations. The role requires a unique blend of deep technical knowledge in industrial systems and strategic business acumen. Unlike consumer tech, our products often have longer development cycles and more stringent safety and reliability requirements.
-
While not always mandatory, experience in industrial automation or related fields is highly valued. However, we also consider candidates from other tech backgrounds who demonstrate strong analytical skills and the ability to quickly learn complex systems.
-
OSI offers clear paths for advancement, from Associate PM to VP of Product. We encourage PMs to develop both depth in specific product areas and breadth across our portfolio. Many of our senior leaders started as PMs and grew with the company.
-
We have a robust learning and development program, including access to industry conferences, technical training, and leadership development courses. PMs are encouraged to spend time with customers and in manufacturing facilities to deepen their domain knowledge.
-
While the work can be demanding, especially during critical project phases, OSI values work-life balance. We offer flexible work arrangements and emphasize sustainable pace to ensure our PMs can perform at their best long-term.
