We are seeking a seasoned and strategic Senior Product Manager to lead the development and lifecycle management of our differentiated fastening solutions and third-party tooling portfolio. This role is critical in shaping the product roadmap, driving innovation, and ensuring continued market success.
The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation across structural, electro-mechanical, and commercial domains, coupled with proven experience in product strategy and cross-functional leadership. This is a high-impact role requiring a balance of technical acumen, market insight, and business execution
Key Responsibilities:
Own the product lifecycle for installation tools and tracker fasteners from concept through end-of-life.
Lead roadmap development to align with business strategies around cost reduction, field productivity, and regionalization (e.g., domestic content, corrosion resistance).
Collaborate with Engineering, NPI, and Construction teams to qualify new tools (e.g., torque-controlled, battery-powered tools) and fastener systems (e.g., bobtails, blind rivets, anti-theft designs).
Define product requirements, user stories, and test protocols for tool and fastener innovations (e.g., ¼" steel bobtails, wide flange fasteners, high-corrosion variants).
Partner with Supply Chain and Quality to onboard and scale suppliers, ensuring delivery readiness for priority markets (e.g., U.S., India, LATAM).
Support field deployments and training with Construction and Project Engineering teams, maintaining a "no-tool-down" culture through robust service and support strategies.
Monitor market, competitive, and regulatory trends to guide development of differentiating features (e.g., ergonomics, automation compatibility, sustainability).
Track KPIs and value realization metrics such as cost per watt saved, tool uptime, install time per MW, and customer satisfaction.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent; MBA preferred.
6+ years of product management experience in mechanical or electro-mechanical systems, preferably in the solar, construction, or industrial tools space.
Proven track record of launching and scaling hardware products with strong ROI.
Experience with installation tools (pneumatic, battery-operated) and fastener technologies (steel, aluminum, corrosion-resistant coatings).
Familiarity with construction environments and hands-on tool testing is highly desirable.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, global environment with cross-functional teams across time zones.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
