This role focuses on real-time inmate monitoring systems deployed inside detention and correctional facilities.
The technology stack includes a proprietary software platform. Projects require significant client-facing interaction, requirements capture, system configuration, on-site deployment, and training. This is a high-travel, hands-on implementation role supporting federal agencies and contractors who provide on-site labor at detention facilities. When not traveling, the Project Manager will be expected to work on-site at Talitrix’s headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia.

• System Configuration: Configure both software and hardware components, including PC peripherals, Wi-Fi/BLE beacons, and related infrastructure.
• Signal Testing & Evaluation: Conduct and oversee facility-wide signal strength testing and evaluation to ensure reliable coverage for monitoring solutions.
• On-Site Deployment & Implementation: Manage full project lifecycle from planning through go-live, including hardware installation, software setup, and system validation at client locations.
• Client Training: Deliver on-site training to facility staff and stakeholders on system operation, monitoring workflows, and best practices.
• Project Controls: Own project planning, scheduling, budgeting, risk management, status reporting, and stakeholder communication across internal teams and external clients.
• Travel: Travel extensively to client sites (federal detention facilities and contractor locations) as required to support deployment and training activities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Communications, Business, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. Degree field is flexible.

Preferred Qualifications

• PMP certification or equivalent project management credential.
• Direct experience with federal government projects, DHS/ICE, or government contractors supporting detention/correctional facilities.
• Background in IoT, wireless beacons (Wi-Fi/BLE), RFID, or facility-wide sensor/network deployments.
