Who We Are

At Global Traffic Group (GTG), we lead with purpose: building safer roadways and smarter, more connected communities. With cutting-edge traffic safety and enforcement technologies, we are shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow, built on data, driven by safety, and empowered by partnerships. As we grow, we are seeking a bold, visionary, and results-driven Product Development and Industrialization Lead who brings both the technical depth and hands-on drive to take our products from prototype to production at scale.

About the Role

We are seeking a senior-level product development and manufacturing professional who can take our AI-enabled electronic and electromechanical products from working prototypes and small production runs into reliable, cost-effective manufacturing at scale. This is a high-impact, hands-on role responsible for industrialization, product engineering, and technical leadership.

This role is for a proven builder who has personally scaled multiple physical products from tens of units into the thousands, and who can own the messy middle between prototype and production without requiring step-by-step direction.

The successful candidate will take ownership of scaling our products and bring strong AI and computer vision expertise to everything we build.

What You’ll Do

- Scale Production: Lead products from prototype and small runs through pilot builds, validation, and production release at increasing volumes.
- Design for Manufacturing: Apply design for manufacturing and assembly principles from the outset—component selection, tolerances, assembly methods, and testing.
- Solve Scale-Up Challenges: Identify and resolve assembly inconsistencies, component availability, supplier quality issues, and production bottlenecks.
- Drive Down Cost: Reduce unit cost, assembly time, rework, and scrap without compromising performance or field reliability.




- Build with AI: Design and integrate computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning into cameras, sensors, radar, and embedded systems for traffic safety solutions.
- Test and Deploy: Lead prototyping, validation, field testing, and deployment of traffic and vision-based systems.
- Lead Technically: Manage engineering projects end to end and provide technical direction to engineers, technicians, vendors, and manufacturers.

What You Bring

- 10+ years developing and scaling physical products
- Proven personal contribution to scaling multiple products from tens of units into thousands
- Strong experience with AI, machine learning, or computer vision in physical products
- Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Manufacturing, or related Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Hands-on experience with cameras, sensors, embedded systems, programming (Python, C/C++, MATLAB), and CAD (SolidWorks or CATIA)
- P.Eng. or eligibility for registration with APEGA is preferred
- Experience in traffic systems, intelligent transportation, or vehicle detection is desirable
- People management, Lean, Six Sigma, or ISO experience is an asset
- Willingness to travel as needed for testing, deployment, and supplier collaboration.

The Ideal Candidate

You're a hands-on product builder who thrives on turning working prototypes into products that ship at volume.



You combine engineering depth with practical problem-solving and are comfortable owning the path from design to production while bringing AI and vision technology into real-world hardware.
- Proven Scaler: A track record of personally taking multiple physical products from small runs into thousands or tens of thousands
- Manufacturing Minded: Designs with production, cost, and serviceability in mind from day one
- AI-Forward Engineer: Brings strong computer vision and machine learning experience to physical, field-deployed products
- Problem Solver: Thrives in the messy middle—diagnosing what breaks during scale-up and fixing it fast
- Cost Conscious: Consistently finds ways to reduce unit cost and improve yield without sacrificing quality
- Independent Operator: Highly self-directed and comfortable owning projects from concept to production
- Clear Communicator: Explains technical risks and recommendations clearly to both engineers and executives
- Driven to Deliver: Resilient, practical, and focused on getting products out the door
