Technical Product Manager

Bemana 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.

**Note: The company is open to remote candidates who are comfortable with travel to HQ in New York a few times per year.

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 Opportunity
• Unlimited PTO
• 401k ROTH + 4% match
• Health, Dental & Vision
• EAP Program - Employee Assistance Program
• Hybrid or Remote Work Environment
• Other Excellent Benefits!

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Geothermal HVAC System Expertise & Platform Intelligence

• Become 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 Strategy

• Partner 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 Execution

• Author 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 Quality

• Own 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.
