Technical Product Manager

Technical Product ManagerBemana is helping hire a Technical Product Manager on behalf of an organization where innovation meets sustainability. The focus is ultimately on helping their clients switch to clean, efficient energy solutions that make a lasting impact in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors.As a Technical Product Manager, you'll be responsible for becoming the in-house expert in large-scale geothermal system operations and optimization. This role combines energy engineering expertise with product ownership, driving the development of the company's software platform.The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of HVAC and building energy systems, including performance analysis, fault diagnostics and facility operations.Benefits:Pay: $140k - $160k/year base salary (with flexibility for the right candidate). If your target pay is higher, we still encourage you to apply—we could request adjustments based on experience and market conditions.Annual Bonus OpportunityUnlimited PTO401k ROTH + 4% matchHealth, Dental & VisionEAP Program - Employee Assistance ProgramHybrid Work EnvironmentOther Excellent Benefits!Essential Duties and Responsibilities:Geothermal HVAC System Expertise & Platform IntelligenceBecome the internal authority on how geothermal systems behave, fail, degrade and excel, translating that knowledge directly into product requirements.Define automated detection logic for system anomalies like borefield degradation, heat pump faults, performance drift and thermal imbalances while being grounded in thermodynamic first principles.Design metrics, KPIs, and alert frameworks that allow the software to identify issues without a human in the loop.Actively use the platform as an expert operator: find what is missing, what should be amplified, and what the next level of intelligence should look like.Build a continuous feedback loop from field data and customer conversations into product insight and specification.Roadmap Evolution & Product StrategyPartner with leadership to shape the future software roadmap.Identify where the platform must go next: new system types, new customer segments, new performance guarantee models.Synthesize inputs from the field, engineering, and market signals into a coherent product direction.Develop deep fluency with customer needs; how facilities managers think, what keeps building owners up at night, what language resonates with mechanical engineers and controls contractors.Feature Specification & Engineering ExecutionAuthor precise, developer-ready feature specifications: user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, data contracts, thermodynamic constraints.Translate complex domain knowledge such as control logic, sensor data quality, timeseries anomalies, and thermal system behavior into unambiguous engineering requirements.Own the sprint cycle: standups, backlog grooming, prioritization, and delivery accountability for a small, high-output engineering team.Unblock engineers quickly; protect their focus by making every requirement decision ahead of them.IoT & Data QualityOwn data quality standards across cloud SaaS and on-premise software deployments.Identify and resolve timeseries data challenges endemic to building systems: sensor dropout, calibration drift, latency, resolution mismatches, outlier propagation.Define data pipeline requirements, validation logic, and monitoring dashboards in collaboration with engineering.Qualifications:Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Controls Systems, or a closely related engineering discipline.5+ years of relevant experience in product management, systems engineering, application engineering, or a technical role that required both engineering depth and customer-facing product.Experience demonstrating thermodynamic fluency and systems depth.Experience with HVAC, heat pump systems, geothermal systems, hydronic systems, or building controls - you must be able to speak with credibility to facilities engineers and MEP contractors.Comfort reasoning through thermodynamic equations and system performance metrics (COP, EER, approach temperatures, heat transfer rates, etc.).Experience with IoT systems, sensor data, or building automation and control systems (BAS/BMS).Strong working knowledge of timeseries data: structure, common failure modes, and anomaly detection approaches.Demonstrated ability to write precise, developer-ready feature specifications.Experience running agile delivery for small engineering teams.
