Product Manager, Network & Software

About the role

We are looking for a Product Manager to own our networking and software portfolio — our Ethernet switches, satellite clocks, and device management platform — from the first idea all the way through launch, support, and end-of-life. You will be the person who knows these products inside and out, and the voice of the utility customer inside our walls.

Responsibilities

• The full life of our networking and software products — strategy, roadmap, launch, and the tough call on when to retire something.
• The customer’s point of view. You’ll visit utility sites, sit on advisory boards, and turn what you hear into real product requirements.
• Cross-team alignment. You’ll bring sales, engineering, and manufacturing to the same page without having authority over any of them.
• The numbers. Pricing, budgets, profitability, and the KPIs that tell us a product is working — adoption, satisfaction, market share.
• Go-to-market. Positioning, sales enablement, beta programs, and launches that actually land in the power-utility market.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of product management for technical B2B products — in power utility, industrial automation, or an adjacent industry.
• A real track record of launches you carried from concept to market.
• Hands-on experience with networking devices or substation-automation equipment.

Qualifications

• A master’s in engineering or an MBA (nice-to-have).
• Deep familiarity with grid edge and substation applications (nice-to-have).

Skills

This role is the subject-matter expert for networking devices in substation and grid edge use. You’ll want a strong grip on Ethernet networks, routing, and cybersecurity best practices, plus familiarity with the automation protocols our world runs on — DNP3, IEC 61850, and C37.118. You’ll also keep an eye on IEEE and IEC standards as they move.
