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
