Job description

We are seeking an experienced and technically adept Product Manager to lead the product strategy and roadmap for our 3S [Power Conversion Systems (PCS), Battery Management Systems (BMS) & Energy Management Systems (EMS)] portfolio targeting the North America market. This role requires technical leadership, project execution experience as well as commercial considerations.

Responsibilities

• PCS & Grid Compatibility
• Define and own the PCS product roadmap for the North America market, aligning with regional regulatory standards (UL, IEEE, NEC, NERC, ANSI) and utility interconnection requirements (IEEE 1547, Rule 21).
• Define system-level requirements for BESS applications including peak shaving, frequency regulation, black start, and capacity firming in collaboration with system integrators and EPCs.
• Engage with IRA, DOE incentive programs, and FEOC implications to shape product strategy that maximizes customer eligibility and commercial advantage.
• Conduct market analysis, competitive benchmarking, and customer discovery to identify product gaps and growth opportunities in utility-scale, commercial & industrial (C&I), and microgrid segments.
• Collaborate with R&D, hardware engineering, and firmware teams to translate customer requirements into detailed product specifications (power ratings, efficiency curves, grid-forming capabilities, protection schemes).
• Drive the full product lifecycle from concept through launch, including go-to-market planning, pricing strategy, and sales enablement.
• Manage product positioning against North American competitors;
• EMS
• Define EMS roadmap for C&I and utility grade applications for North America market.
• Define integration requirements for EMS-to-PCS communication protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, SunSpec, OCPP) and cloud platform APIs.
• Partner with the data and analytics team to build product features that enable customers to maximize ROI via automated dispatch, demand response, and wholesale market participation.
• Engage with system integrators, EPCs, and fleet operators to understand EMS usability, reporting, and remote monitoring needs.
• Develop product strategies for grid-edge applications including virtual power plants (VPP), distributed energy resource management (DERM), and grid-forming inverter deployments.
• Track evolving interconnection standards, utility tariff structures, and capacity market rules (PJM, CAISO, MISO, ERCOT) to identify product development priorities.
• Collaborate with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, and grid operators to understand evolving grid service requirements and shape product capabilities accordingly.
• Support development of advanced grid services features: synthetic inertia, voltage/VAR support, droop control, and islanding/resynchronization functionality.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Energy Systems or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in energy storage, power systems, EV, or industrial equipment.
• Deep technical understanding of power conversion topologies (three-phase, bidirectional), grid interconnection requirements, and relevant North American standards (IEEE 1547, UL 1741, NEC Article 705).
• Demonstrated experience managing product roadmaps and launching products in the utility-scale or C&I energy storage/solar-plus-storage market.
• Familiarity with BESS system architecture including BMS hierarchy, DC/AC coupling configurations, and safety certifications (UL 9540, NFPA 855).
• Understanding of EMS/SCADA architectures and industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3, IEC 61850, MQTT).
• Strong analytical skills with ability to synthesize market intelligence, financial data, and customer insights into actionable product decisions.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, sales, marketing, and executive stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to represent technical content to non-technical audiences and present to senior leadership.
