Solid-State Transformer (SST) Product Management, Director to Senior Director

About the role

Enphase Energy is a global energy technology company and a leading provider of solar, battery, and electric vehicle charging products. This position leads product management for Enphase's Solid‑State Transformer (SST) platform—a new category of grid‑scale power conversion product built around a modular, GaN‑based power architecture that scales from a single power module to multi‑MW skids for AI data center and other high‑density grid‑connected applications. The role owns product strategy, business case, and customer/market engagement for SST as it moves from architecture definition through certification and initial deployment, partnering closely with engineering, program management, and executive leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own the SST product strategy and roadmap, translating market and customer requirements into a coherent product definition across power, control, communications, and serviceability.
• Lead voice‑of‑customer and partner efforts, initially focusing on hyperscaler/datacenter RFQ processes and strategic partnerships, then expanding to DC fast charging, solar, battery energy storage, and other utility‑oriented applications.
• Use voice‑of‑customer information to synthesize requirements and work with sales and marketing leaders to define pricing and go‑to‑market positioning.
• Define and prioritize product requirements for the modular power module and skid‑level system, balancing power density, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and certification constraints.
• Partner with engineering leadership to align product requirements with system architecture decisions (e.g., grid‑forming/grid‑following control strategy, MV interconnection approach, module interchangeability).
• Own the business case for SST products, including build‑cost tracking, margin targets, and total‑cost‑of‑ownership positioning against alternative power conversion architectures.
• Drive the certification and standards roadmap in partnership with compliance and systems engineering, maintaining product‑level visibility into UL 347A, UL 2877, IEC 62477‑2, UL 1741, and relevant IEEE standards.
• Build and manage the SST product launch plan across DVT, factory test, field trials, and general availability, coordinating cross‑functionally with program management, manufacturing, and quality.
• Manage and mentor a small team of product managers as the SST product line scales; contribute to hiring and org‑design decisions.
• Report on product strategy, business case, and program status to executive leadership.

Qualifications

• B.S./M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field; MBA or formal business training is a plus.
• 12+ years in product management or related technical product/business experience, with a track record of shipping complex hardware or hardware/software systems from concept to volume production.
• Direct experience with power electronics, power conversion, energy storage, or grid‑connected equipment; comfortable engaging technically with power topology, control architecture, and interconnection standards.
• Experience selling into or partnering with data center, utility, or large industrial/commercial customers; RFQ and enterprise sales‑cycle experience strongly preferred.
• Working familiarity with relevant standards and certification bodies (UL, IEC, IEEE) and the judgment to involve compliance and systems engineering as needed.
• Strong business acumen, especially with total‑cost‑of‑ownership analysis and defending a business case to executive leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to participate in cross‑functional teams and drive alignment among engineering, program management, manufacturing, and customers without relying solely on formal authority.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting strategy and status to senior executives.
• Experience with modular or platform‑based hardware product strategy (reference architectures, product families, reuse across generations) is a strong plus.
• Experience with channel or technology partnerships (e.g., co‑development or distribution agreements with established equipment manufacturers) is a plus.
• Experience with formal product requirements processes, such as JAMA or others, is a plus.
