Senior Product Owner

Own the product lifecycle for battery storage and MID-certified metering solutions, translating market and regulatory needs into safe, reliable, cyber-secure, standards-compliant offerings.

Responsibilities

• Own product vision, portfolio strategy, multi-year roadmap, and lifecycle plans for battery storage and MID metering solutions.
• Build, socialize, and secure approval for business cases including market sizing, target segments, revenue forecasts, gross margin, installed cost, service economics, and investment requirements.
• Define product positioning, value propositions, pricing architecture, and go-to-market priorities across residential, light commercial, commercial, and utility-adjacent segments.
• Track and evaluate trends across battery technology, inverter and PCS, metering regulation, solar-plus-storage adoption, utility tariffs, demand-charge management, virtual power plants, and competitive offerings.
• Identify white-space opportunities across storage capacity, modularity, backup power, energy monitoring, solar integration, and grid-services readiness.
• Lead Voice of Customer activities with homeowners, solar installers, electrical contractors, EPCs, distributors, utilities, fleet/site operators, and internal sales teams.
• Capture market and customer requirements in the product management system; translate them into prioritized epics, product requirements, specifications, and user stories.
• Conduct competitive benchmarking across battery capacity, usable energy, roundtrip efficiency, cycle life, warranty, backup performance, installation time, monitoring, interoperability, and total cost of ownership.
• Ensure products meet requirements for safety, grid interconnection, metering accuracy, cybersecurity, data privacy, and environmental needs.
• Manage requirement changes using formal impact assessments, stakeholder review, and change-control processes.
• Define functional and non-functional requirements for battery packs/modules, BMS, PCS/hybrid inverters, enclosures, thermal management, communications, and installation accessories.
• Define requirements for AC-coupled and DC-coupled storage architectures, backup/whole-home or partial-home power, generator integration, and expansion capability.
• Support solar-plus storage use cases: PV coupling, solar self-consumption, surplus-solar charging, backup during outages, and coordinated dispatch of solar generation and battery discharge.
• Partner with Engineering, Software, Controls, Quality, and Manufacturing to prioritize backlog, resolve tradeoffs, and maintain MVP scope.
• Maintain alignment across customer outcomes, technical feasibility, safety, serviceability, installation efficiency, cybersecurity, grid compliance, and product cost targets.
• Own product requirements for MID-certified metering, sub-metering, energy monitoring, and measurement solutions where applicable.
• Define accuracy classes, measurement points, data granularity, communication interfaces, display/user experience, installation requirements, and certification/test needs.
• Partner with Regulatory, Quality, Engineering, and external notified bodies or certification partners to maintain lifecycle compliance.
• Ensure metering data supports billing, energy optimization, solar self-consumption, storage dispatch, reporting, and customer-facing insights.
• Monitor changes in metering standards, metrology requirements, data formats, and regional certification obligations.
• Own target product cost, BOM cost, landed cost, warranty cost, service cost, and gross-margin objectives.
• Track BOM evolution through development; lead feature-versus-cost tradeoff decisions with Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, and Sourcing.
• Develop pricing strategies across retail, distribution, installer/project, strategic account, and utility-program channels.
• Support quality planning, failure-mode analysis, field-failure reduction, warranty analytics, and corrective-action implementation.
• Monitor competitive pricing, channel economics, incentive programs, and market dynamics before and after launch.
• Define pilot objectives, success criteria, site-selection criteria, participant profiles, deployment plans, and data collection requirements.
• Assess readiness for field trials and commercial launch, covering installation experience, commissioning, connectivity, software stability, safety, and service readiness.
• Lead issue triage and root-cause reviews with Engineering, Quality, Customer Care, and field teams; use pilot performance, installer feedback, telemetry, and customer insights to prioritize improvements.
• Coordinate launch readiness across documentation, training, sales enablement, installation tools, spare-parts strategy, support processes, and marketing assets.
• Support patent identification, innovation initiatives, and post-launch portfolio optimization.

Requirements
