Product Manager, Transformers

This fully remote Product Manager role directs the strategy and execution of the transformer portfolio for U.S. mission-critical facilities, coordinating customer requirements, offshore OEM development, and regulatory/compliance considerations.

Responsibilities

• Own the transformer portfolio strategy across distribution, medium-voltage primary variants, and mission-critical facility applications, including segmentation, roadmap planning, and SKU rationalization.
• Translate customer and market needs into precise product requirements covering ratings, efficiency, insulation systems, accessories, monitoring, and serviceability.
• Maintain competitive intelligence on transformer performance, lead times, total cost of ownership, and field reliability expectations in mission-critical contexts.
• Develop and maintain requirements and compliance matrices for transformer families aligned with applicable U.S. expectations (NEC, IEEE/ANSI where applicable) and efficiency requirements.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Compliance & Regulatory teams to ensure right-to-sell readiness, certification evidence capture, and accurate product claims.
• Ensure product collateral and customer-facing statements remain consistent with certification scope and controlled documentation.
• Work directly with offshore OEM engineering teams to drive U.S. variant development, gap closure, and design iterations based on test results and customer requirements.
• Define acceptance criteria for key performance attributes (losses/efficiency targets, impedance, temperature rise, dielectric withstand) and ensure supplier test plans support them.
• Coordinate change control with Engineering for variant updates, including certification impact awareness and controlled documentation updates.
• Own transformer test and validation plans end-to-end: factory routine tests, type tests (as applicable), and third-party laboratory activities.
• Participate in or coordinate factory acceptance tests (FATs) and customer/site acceptance activities (SAT support where required), driving corrective actions and closure.
• Ensure test evidence, nameplate/labeling, and documentation packages are complete, version-controlled, and usable for customers and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs).
• Lead cross-functional response to significant field issues; ensure lessons learned feed back into requirements, supplier corrective actions, and product updates.
• Partner with Field Ops to prioritize corrective actions and documentation improvements that reduce repeat failures and integration risk.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline with power emphasis preferred; advanced degree is a plus but not required.
• 5-10+ years of experience in product management, product engineering, applications engineering, or OEM/supplier management for transformers or large electrical power equipment.
• Proven track record of defining product requirements and driving supplier-led development programs through validation and production readiness.
• Experience with regulated, standards-driven products and collaboration with third-party test labs or certifiers without losing momentum.
• Fluent knowledge of power or distribution transformers (dry-type and/or liquid-immersed), accessories, monitoring, and integration into facility electrical systems.
• Standards familiarity (NEC; IEEE/ANSI transformer standards and test methods; utility/interconnect expectations) is preferred; not required to be a walking standards library.
• Comfort with factory test documentation, inspection and witness testing practices, and translating test evidence into customer-ready deliverables.
• Strong technical writing ability; experience creating requirements matrices, compliance matrices, test plans, and clear customer-facing documentation.
• Willingness to resolve uncertainties rather than solely tracking defined tasks.
• Sound technical judgment with ability to distinguish critical safety and compliance needs from optional features.
• Ability to identify critical-path risks that enable multiple workstreams to progress.
• Experience with regulated, mid-complexity products and understanding of systems integration challenges.
• Drive to bring work to resolution and effectively coordinate across teams, not just manage stakeholders.
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
