Technical Product Manager

Description

• Validate technical feasibility of product concepts early, working with engineering to identify risks and opportunities before significant resources are committed.
• Keep engineering teams aligned on the "why" behind what they're building, so they can make good implementation decisions autonomously.
• Constantly operates a computer and other peripheral office equipment such as a printer or mouse.
• Identify opportunities where technical improvements can unlock multiple customer value propositions, and advocate for strategic technical investment.
• Make informed tradeoff decisions by understanding how system components interact—from power electronics to cloud infrastructure—and the implications of technical choices on customer experience, timeline, and cost.
• Create cross-functional alignment and prioritization for experiences and features requiring coordination across hardware, power electronics, firmware, data, and software teams.
• Drive continuous delivery by partnering with Engineering leaders to continuously manage their Kanban boards with a major emphasis on iterative development.
• Drive requirement clarity by asking the hard questions upfront that prevent downstream confusion and rework across engineering teams.

Requirements

• Think in systems: you anticipate how decisions ripple through a product. You're decisive with incomplete information, collaborative and influential without authority, and pragmatic about what complexity is worth taking on.
• Technically credible but customer-obsessed: you have enough technical depth to earn trust with engineering teams, but you never lose sight of the customer problems you're solving. You can read system diagrams, understand data pipelines, and follow firmware and software tradeoff conversations even if you're not writing the code yourself.
• Background in power electronics, embedded systems, or energy technology.
• Strong written and verbal communicator: you explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to communicate information so others can understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations.
• 5+ years of experience in technical product management or product-adjacent roles (systems engineering, solutions architecture, technical program management) with increasing product ownership.
• Demonstrated ability to drive continuous delivery by managing work in progress.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).A track record of defining requirements that balance customer value, technical feasibility, and business constraints.
• Familiarity with energy management systems, demand response programs, or virtual power plant operations.
• Knowledge of power system standards (UL 1741, IEEE 1547, Rule 21) and grid interconnection requirements.
• Experience with IoT-scale data systems and real-time control systems.
• Familiarity with modern development practices including CI/CD, automated testing, and cloud-based architectures.
• Own product documentation including product requirement documents, experience briefs, success metrics, and go-to-market requirements for system-level capabilities.
• Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English required.
• Experience with grid-interactive systems such as energy storage, solar inverters, EV chargers, or similar products that interface with utility grids.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: you drive decisions even when information is incomplete. You move seamlessly between strategy and execution, always staying aligned to Torus' mission.
• Experience working with hardware-software integrated products or complex systems with multiple technical disciplines.
• Must report to work reliably and with the ability to use full and unimpaired skills and judgment to safely execute your job.
