About us

Metrologic Group delivers cutting-edge industrial solutions for 3D measurement and quality control. We help our customers solve complex metrology challenges by combining independent 3D measurement software, advanced hardware, and custom electronics. As part of the Sandvik Group, we’re building a unified offer that connects machining and quality assurance to enable a smarter, more transparent production chain.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the next chapter of the evolution of our metrology software product line (X4, iRobot, Silma...)—highly successful over the years, rich in functionality portfolio used in manufacturing environments, metrology labs, and industrial settings worldwide. This role is critical in unlocking the portfolio’s untapped potential and driving its transformation into a customer-centric, scalable, and modern solution offering.

As the software operates as a part of an integrated hardware system, experience working with such systems is highly valuable, as you’ll need to understand the interplay between physical devices and digital functionality to shape product strategy effectively.

You will lead a highly dedicated and knowledgeable team of experts, deeply committed to delivering excellence in industrial metrology, and you will complete it with market orientation, and product management best practices to guide our next chapter.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with various functions across the company. You'll play an active role in executing the portfolio strategy of a newly created Business Unit focused on Industrial Metrology.
