Descrição da oferta de emprego

Job Summary

We are seeking a technically grounded and results-driven Embedded Software Product Manager to own the roadmap, development, and deployment of control and functional features in our single-axis solar tracker systems. You will be the critical bridge between embedded engineering, systems integration, hardware design, and field operations—ensuring that our tracker control platforms are robust, field-resilient, and scalable. This role is ideal for someone who understands embedded systems, thrives on solving real-world hardware/software problems, and is eager to define product requirements that push the boundaries of solar tracker performance and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Define, prioritize, and collaborate on the product roadmap for embedded control firmware and functional software across tracker hardware platforms.
• Specify product requirements documents (PRDs), use cases, and feature sets aligned with customer needs and field realities.
• Drive functional safety, system uptime, and operational efficiency as core product metrics.
• Work closely with embedded systems engineers, control algorithms teams, and hardware design engineers to ensure alignment from design to field deployment.
• Partner with field engineering and customer support to translate field insights into firmware-level improvements.
• Coordinate with SCADA/cloud platform teams to ensure seamless integration between edge and cloud.
• Lead agile backlog grooming and sprint planning for the embedded development team.
• Validate releases through test plan reviews, simulated environments, and controlled field rollouts.
• Establish traceability for requirements and verification to comply with global standards (IEC, UL, etc.).
• Engage with internal and external customers to understand environmental, grid, and operational challenges that inform product enhancements.
• Actively participate in pilot projects and new product introductions to ensure system-level feature validation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• 3–5 years of experience in embedded systems product management or closely related technical product roles.
• Solid understanding of real‑time control systems, embedded software architecture, and firmware‑hardware interactions.
• Experience with solar tracker systems, motor control, sensors (IMUs, encoders), or grid‑connected devices is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with CAN, RS‑485, Modbus, OPC, or other industrial protocols.
• Strong skills in writing PRDs, defining test plans, and managing product lifecycle in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Proven ability to influence technical direction and drive cross‑functional execution.
