Job description

Exciting opportunity to join a leading global Tier 1 BESS Supplier as their Technical Product Head for North America. This role is for a true technical product leader with hands‑on experience building utility‑scale BESS products, with direct involvement in 0 to 1 product development. It is positioned as a Technical Product Head for the North America market, responsible for product ownership and technical direction of utility‑scale energy storage systems. This is a technical product leadership role, not a commercial or GTM role. The focus is on defining products, guiding technical direction, and working closely with global R&D teams.

Key Requirements

• Hands‑on experience developing utility‑scale BESS products, preferably in the 5 MWh class or similar.
• Direct involvement in 0 to 1 product development, including product definition, architecture, and launch.
• Strong technical depth in battery systems, PCS, EMS, and system integration.
• Ability to engage deeply with R&D teams and challenge technical decisions at the architecture level.
• Proven experience owning product decisions rather than supporting or translating requirements.
• Experience building and owning energy storage products at a system level and influencing R&D decisions.

The role requires someone who has personally built and owned energy storage products and can define technical direction. This is not a sales or solution role.
