Product Manager, Networking & Software (Electrical Utility Products)

NovaTech Automation builds the hardware and software that keep the electrical grid running. They are seeking a Product Manager to oversee the full life cycle of their networking and software products, focusing on strategy, customer insights, and cross-team alignment.

Responsibilities:

• The full life of our networking and software products — strategy, roadmap, launch, and the tough call on when to retire something
• The customer’s point of view. You’ll visit utility sites, sit on advisory boards, and turn what you hear into real product requirements
• Cross-team alignment. You’ll bring sales, engineering, and manufacturing to the same page without having authority over any of them
• The numbers. Pricing, budgets, profitability, and the KPIs that tell us a product is working — adoption, satisfaction, market share
• Go-to-market. Positioning, sales enablement, beta programs, and launches that actually land in the power-utility market

Requirements:

• A bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or a related field
• 5+ years of product management for technical B2B products — in power utility, industrial automation, or an adjacent industry
• A real track record of launches you carried from concept to market
• Hands-on experience with networking devices or substation-automation equipment
• Strong grip on Ethernet networks, routing, and cybersecurity best practices
• Familiarity with the automation protocols our world runs on — DNP3, IEC 61850, and C37.118
• Keep an eye on IEEE and IEC standards as they move
• A master's in engineering or an MBA
• Deep familiarity with grid edge and substation applications
