AirGarage Hardware Deployment Project Manager

About AirGarage

AirGarage is on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking.

We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich operating system for parking real estate. We handle everything it takes to run and optimize a parking asset : payments, dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more.

By building all of our technology in-house, we are able to deliver a magical experience for drivers while providing real-time visibility and revenue increases of 20-50% or more for real estate owners. That's why national real?estate leaders like Hines and Greystar, as well as technology companies like Meta, partner with AirGarage to optimize their parking facilities.

AirGarage uses datapoints like real-time occupancy, local events, weather, driver behavior, competitor pricing, and more to bring true intelligence to real estate owners' assets for the first time.

We're investing aggressively to make the physical world legible to a digital system : cameras, sensors, and software that generate a firehose of real-time data about the world around us. That data fuels models and algorithms that allow us to optimize performance at each property while giving owners the clarity and control they've never had before.

Before you can optimize an asset, you need to observe it. Before you can observe it, you need to bring it online.

We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types. 26% of the land area in the median American urban core is dedicated to parking.

We are backed by top tier investors including Headline Growth, Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

The Role

The Hardware Deployment Project Manager will be the air traffic controller for every physical touchpoint of AirGarage's hardware programs.

You'll coordinate the deployment and maintenance of our hardware systems (including license plate recognition units, occupancy tracking camera systems, digital access solutions, and more) by partnering with vendors, field engineers, and internal teams for each new facility we launch.

This will involve managing stakeholder expectations when there is a backlog of issues across dozens of sites nationwide.

Think of it as being the general manager for field hardware : one moment you're reserving a boom lift in Boston, the next you're getting posts installed in a surface lot in Vegas. If turning complex moving parts into a crisp, repeatable playbook gets you fired up, you'll thrive here.

This role sits at the intersection of hardware deployment, field operations, vendor management, and partner success. It demands meticulous planning, lightning-fast problem solving, and clear, confident communication so our partners experience flawless, data-rich parking operations from day one.

How You'll Make an Impact

Deploy & Sustain License Plate Recognition Systems Nationwide

  • Own the master schedule of all Tripwire installs, repairs, and upgrades ensuring every site is scoped and staffed with the right gear and people.
  • Manage budgets, purchase orders, and on-the-fly logistics (flights, rental equipment, supply runs) to keep costs down and timelines tight.

Launch Third-Party Occupancy Cameras

  • Coordinate vendors through site surveys, camera-position planning, and infrastructure prep so every device captures accurate occupancy data day and night.
  • Build vendor relationships that turn one-off installers into trusted long term partners.
  • Close the Hardware Feedback Loop

  • Funnel field insights back to our Hardware R&D team in order to suggest improvements.
  • Champion continuous improvement so every new hardware iteration is more reliable, easier to install, and more cost-effective than the last.
  • Implement Digital Access Solutions

  • Lead the rollout of our facility access hardware to provide seamless digital entry and exit at AirGarage facilities.
  • Coordinate gate repairs and new hardware installs, and establish a preventive maintenance cadence to keep every access system online and secure for drivers.
  • What You Will Do

    Plan & Schedule Installs and Repairs

  • Maintain a living, highly visible calendar of hardware deployments and fixes; share status updates early and often with Engineering, Ops, Sales, and Partner Success.
  • Lead and support a small but growing installation team, with a focus on smart hiring, effective execution, and team development.
  • Generate detailed Scopes of Work and installation checklists so every stakeholder knows who's doing what, when, and with which resources.
  • Drive On-Site Execution

  • Coordinate with internal or external installers in real time to track progress, gather photos / videos, and unblock issues before they derail timelines.
  • Enforce rigorous documentation such as Field Maintenance Logs, photo libraries, and post-install artifacts so we always have a single source of truth.
  • Optimize Processes & Tooling

  • Spin up 3rd party deployments for minor field repairs; track suspected Tripwire degradation and dispatch fixes proactively.
  • Iterate on playbooks, SOPs, and dashboards that improve install velocity, consistency, and data quality across hundreds of parking facilities.
  • Partner & Vendor Management

  • Act as the primary point of contact for property owners, regional ops teams, and third-party vendors throughout each deployment.
  • Negotiate timelines, set expectations, and ensure every stakeholder walks away impressed with AirGarage's professionalism and rigor.
  • What You Need

  • A track record of juggling complex logisticsbudgets, travel, equipment rentalswithout dropping the ball.
  • 3+ years of project management or field operations experience deploying hardware at scale (PropTech, IoT, telecom, or similar preferred).
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you turn technical jargon into plain-English updates anyone can act on.
  • Proficiency with cloud-based project-tracking, documentation, and collaboration tools.
  • High-level technical intuitionyou don't need to design a PCB, but you can talk voltage, PoE, and network uplinks with engineers and installers alike.
  • Fiercely proactive and assertiveyou spot blockers before others do and rally teams to solve them fast.
  • Ability to travel up to 25% to validate installs, audit vendor workmanship, and build relationships face-to-face. Opportunity to travel more than 25% is available.
  • The Upside

  • Equity : Have a stake in the business that you're helping to build and grow.
  • Work remotely : Live and work wherever you like! We believe in folks working where they are happiest and most productive. We currently hire teammates that are located anywhere within North America.
  • Health insurance : We offer health insurance and currently cover 85% of the cost of medical plans for the primary employee and 50% of the cost of plans for dependents.
  • Home office setup : Get a laptop + additional equipment needed to set you up for success.
  • Time to recharge : We have an unlimited PTO policy with a minimum requirement of 10 days per year.
  • 401k : Make financial planning right for you with a 401k retirement savings program.
  • Team Off-sites : ~2 times per year our team comes together for a full week in places like Tahoe, Puerto Vallarta, San Diego, and Austin.
  • BookGarage : Our team loves to learn and grow together so join us for our optional recurring book club.
  • Room to grow : Our team will be orders of magnitude larger within a few years, as a part of our foundational team you'll have opportunities to grow with us.
  • Transform our cities : The opportunity to change the way that the world thinks about real estate use in our cities
