You will lead the best engineers and cooperate with other product, project and line managers from different units.

At new video products you will play a very important role in the team using all your leader and coordination skills to guide successfully in the embedded systems arena with focus on pan-tilt-zoom camera products.

Your responsibilities are:

* Work with product management to refine product ideas

In order to be successful in this position we believe that you are flexible, have good leader skills and an excellent attention to details.
