Principal Product Manager

Position Overview

The Principal Product Manager for data center infrastructure products partners closely with the Product Engineering team to define the infrastructure strategy, then owns the development of products and processes to achieve this strategy. The Principal Product Manager owns the execution of the new product development process, ensuring products are manufactured efficiently and effectively by external providers to the design intent. They collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to formalize the required support mechanisms enabling solutions to be deployed and scaled.

The Principal Product Manager partners with engineering teams to ensure the product solutions achieve the design intent while evaluating tradeoffs to achieve cost targets and timelines. Additionally, they coordinate closely with customer-facing associates to ensure customer requirements are being incorporated into products and delivery schedules.

The Principal Product Manager will advise on product roadmaps and market requirements and will be focused on transitioning engineered products and prototypes to volume production. Collaboration with product engineers, project engineers, project managers, procurement professionals, compliance agents, commissioning agents, and manufacturers is all required for successful production management and coordination.
