Descrizione del lavoro:

Product managers lead a product's lifecycle, from strategy and planning to development, launch, and ongoing management, bridging business, user experience, and technology to deliver customer-focused outcomes that achieve business goals.
As a product management intern at Emerson's Test & Measurement (formerly NI) business unit, you will work directly with tenured product managers, software engineers, product marketers, and others, on real problems that affect real customers.

* Launch preparation & post-release analysis - Support the creation of release notes, internal briefings, and launch success metrics. Analyze post-launch usage data to surface opportunities for iteration.
* Creation of compelling demos - explore new user workflows possible through the use of data and AI.
* Depending on team needs and your interests, your summer project may prioritize any of the above responsibilities as a focus area
