Technical Product Lead

As Technical Product Lead, you shape the technical future of products within the System Devices program. You lead their evolution throughout the lifecycle, ensuring they meet today’s needs while remaining competitive, scalable, and sustainable for the future.

System Devices is where measurement instruments become complete measurement solutions. As a key part of Emerson’s Level Measurement portfolio, it connects field instrumentation with automation and tank gauging systems across land-based and marine applications. The portfolio spans measurement devices, communication and system hubs, displays, control units and supporting devices, enabling seamless integration from the field to the control room

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Own the long-term technical direction and lifecycle success of products within the System Devices program, translating product strategy, customer needs and business priorities into clear product scope and release plans.

• Drive the program release plan, balancing new product development, feature growth, maintenance, quality, compliance, obsolescence and lifecycle needs against available capacity and business priorities.

• Define product-level feature scope and acceptance criteria and ensure coherent product decisions across hardware and software.

• Lead product-level technical and cost-benefit trade-offs and provide clear direction when balancing customer value, product cost, quality, compliance, serviceability and time to market.

• Own the product lifecycle perspective including obsolescence risks, third-party dependencies and long-term serviceability.

• Assess product and release readiness against agreed acceptance criteria.

• Drive timely product decisions and create clarity across the installed product base, while identifying opportunities for simplification, modernization and future product evolution.

Who You Are:

• You combine strong technical understanding with a product and customer mindset and can see beyond an individual technical solution to the long-term success of the product.

• You enjoy working in a complex environment where priorities, technologies, customer needs and lifecycle considerations must be balanced.

• You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and can bring structure and direction to ambiguous situations.

• You build alignment across functions and influence stakeholders and collaborate closely with Product Management, System Architecture, Project Management, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Approvals and Sales & Support.

• You think strategically while remaining sufficiently close to engineering and execution to turn strategy into practical product decisions.

• You take ownership, challenge constructively and drive issues to resolution.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in relevant technical field (such as engineering, automation, electronics) or equivalent experience.

• Several years of experience in product management , engineering, technical leadership or systems development in a complex technical environment.

• Experience working with products combining several technical disciplines, such as electronics, embedded software, communication, industrial networks, instrumentation or system integration.

• Demonstrated ability to make and drive cross-functional product decisions involving technical, commercial, lifecycle and customer considerations.

• Experience working across the product lifecycle, from discovery, development and release through maintenance, change management and obsolescence.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills in a cross-functional and international organization.

• Fluent written and spoken English.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Experience with industrial automation, process instrumentation or measurement systems.

• Knowledge of industrial communication technologies and device integration, for example HART, Modbus, Ethernet, fieldbus technologies or wireless communication.

• Experience with products combining hardware, embedded software, communication interfaces and higher-level systems.

• Experience with product lifecycle management, component obsolescence or management of long-lived installed products.

• Understanding of product compliance, functional safety, cybersecurity, regulatory approvals or certification of industrial products.

• Experience working with global customers, Sales, Service or Operations in technically complex industrial applications.

• Written and spoken Swedish.
