Technical Product Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to join the product team and own the intersection of product requirements, hardware specifications, and go-to-market configuration strategy.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain detailed product requirements documents (PRDs) covering hardware specifications, electrical and mechanical configurations, construction and installation requirements, and operational capabilities.
• Define requirements across energy and power dimensions — including power constraints, round-trip efficiency, auxiliary load budgets, and thermal operating envelopes.
• Translate market, regulatory, and customer input into clear engineering requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Track and maintain Peak's certification and compliance roadmap across relevant standards (e.g., UL 9540, IEC 62933, IEEE 693, NEC Article 706).
• Work with engineering to evaluate tradeoffs in hardware design decisions and ensure requirements reflect real-world deployment constraints.
• Define and maintain Peak's inverter compatibility matrix — identifying target integration partners, characterizing interface requirements (communication protocols, control modes, grid-forming capability), and driving qualification processes.
• Help shape Peak's EMS offering strategy — defining integration requirements, characterizing how EMS capabilities should be packaged and positioned, and ensuring our product works seamlessly within customers' control environments.
• Contribute to competitive analysis of BESS products, focusing on technical differentiation: system architecture, performance specifications, integration flexibility, and certification status.
• Support product roadmap planning with well-reasoned recommendations grounded in technical and market analysis.
• Work across teams to ensure product configuration options are well-documented, manufacturable, and commercially coherent.
• Contribute to the development of Peak's long-term service agreement (LTSA) and service contract strategy — including what commitments we make on performance, availability, and maintenance, and how service offerings are structured and priced.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of experience in product management, technical program management, product development, consulting in a relevant field, or a closely related role.
• Demonstrated experience in energy storage, grid-scale renewables, power electronics, or a related field — you need to be able to credibly engage with engineers on system-level technical questions.
• Strong written communication skills — you can write a tight PRD, a clear competitive brief, or a well-structured strategy memo.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to drive decisions with incomplete information, while being honest about what you don't know.
• Structured, analytical thinking — you approach product questions with rigor and don't make broad claims without backing them up.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with BESS procurement, project development, or system integration.
• Familiarity with grid interconnection requirements, utility tariff structures, or wholesale energy market mechanics (ERCOT, CAISO, PJM).
• Exposure to relevant standards bodies or certification processes for electrical energy storage equipment.
• Experience working with inverter manufacturers or EMS vendors on technical integration.
• Background in a startup or high-growth hardware company.
