Senior Staff Product Manager

Responsibilities

• Own the product roadmap for medium-voltage inverter and SST platforms enabling medium voltage and ±800 V DC distribution inside data-center campuses.
• Quantify ROI for customers through PUE/WUE improvements, power-density gains, and CapEx vs OpEx trade-offs.
• Establish technology partnerships to maximize SST impact on customer value and to shorten deployment time and enhance reliability.
• Engage directly with hyperscalers, colocation providers, and data-center design-build firms to define performance metrics for uptime, energy density, and fault containment.
• Translate customer site designs into scalable product configurations that integrate grid, genset, and storage assets.
• Monitor global data-center power trends (AI rack loads, liquid cooling, regional grid codes, carbon-free procurement) and feed insights into roadmap decisions.
• Ensure electrical, thermal, and firmware designs meet Tier III/IV reliability targets and IEC/IEEE compliance (IEC 61850, 62477, 60364-7-716, IEEE 1547, UL 1741-SB).
• Align power-electronics, embedded-firmware, EMS, and mechanical teams around unified release plans.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply-chain to ensure cost, scalability, and manufacturability targets are met.
• Partner with sales and applications engineering to generate customer proposals, value models, and technical collateral demonstrating differentiation versus legacy UPS/transformer systems.
• Build quantitative business cases for each platform variant including gross-margin modeling and total-cost-of-ownership analysis.
• Conduct competitive benchmarking versus central inverter, rotary UPS, and lithium-ion BESS suppliers.
• Identify regulatory and incentive frameworks (energy-storage credits, grid-support revenue streams) that influence pricing strategy and product adoption.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in product or technical leadership within data-center power
• Strong grounding in MV AC/DC architectures, grid interconnection, redundancy schemes, and fault protection
• Understanding of MV system behavior, grid interaction, and fault protection.
• Energy Storage & EMS Familiarity: Experience with hybrid systems and integration of batteries or EMS solutions.
• Experience building business cases and customer ROI models for infrastructure or capital-equipment sales
• Proven ability to work with engineers, firmware developers, and system architects to deliver complex hardware-software products.
• Exposure to AI data-center designs, energy-management systems, or hybrid-grid microgrids
• BSEE required; MSEE or MBA preferred

Technical Skills

• Power Electronics & Inverter Systems: Deep understanding of bidirectional inverter design, and grid-supportive functionalities (e.g., reactive power, anti-islanding, grid-forming).
• Medium Voltage Systems: Familiarity with MV infrastructure (e.g., 22kV systems), grounding/fault protection, switchgear, and interconnection requirements.
• Hybrid Energy Systems: Experience integrating energy storage systems (ESS), EMS platforms, and managing charge/discharge optimization.
• Firmware Collaboration: Ability to co-develop feature sets with embedded systems teams, particularly around real-time control loops, black start logic, and remote diagnostics.
• Standards & Regulatory Knowledge: Working knowledge of IEEE 1547, UL 1741-SB, IEC 61850, NEC 705/710/480/490, and grid interconnection frameworks.
• System Modeling & Specification: Capable of writing clear, technically detailed product requirements including control architecture, communication protocols, and I/O definitions.
• Data-Driven Prioritization: Comfortable with tradeoff decisions using customer value, technical feasibility, and time-to-market drivers.
