Product Manager, Charging & Energy Platform

You will collaborate closely with system engineers, software architects, embedded teams, cloud services teams, experience product manager’s and external standards bodies to define and deliver a scalable, compliant, and future-ready platform that enables AC/DC charging, bi-directional energy flow, grid interoperability, certification readiness, and more.

• Define the platform roadmap for charging and V2X capabilities, aligning with vehicle programs, hardware roadmaps, and energy products.
• Develop a platform conceptual architecture that spans vehicle systems, wallbox/charger systems, cloud services, and grid interfaces.
• Translate regulatory, standardization, and interoperability requirements into platform-level capabilities.

• Work closely with systems engineering to define end‑to‑end system behavior, interface contracts, and architectural diagrams.
• Collaborate with embedded software, firmware, power electronics, and cloud engineering teams to ensure robust and scalable implementation.
• Drive cross‑functional alignment on platform APIs, communication pathways, and protocol stacks.

• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for key charging and energy standards, including:
  • ISO 15118-2, ISO 15118-20 (Plug & Charge, V2X, ACDP, SLAC, communication stacks)
  • IEEE 1547 (interconnection requirements for distributed energy resources)
  • SAE J2847/J2931/J3072 (EV–grid communication, V2G interconnection)
  • OCPP, UL, NEC, and other EV charging and grid-related frameworks
• Ensure platform designs meet certification and interoperability requirements (e.g., UL, CSA, ISO conformance, grid operator rules).

• Write clear product specifications, platform requirements, and interface definitions.
• Prioritize features using customer value, engineering feasibility, architecture constraints, and compliance timelines.
• Support testing strategy for interoperability, conformance, and real‑world charging/V2X scenarios.
• Participate in technical deep dives, issue triage, and platform validation.

• Partner with hardware teams on charger, inverter, and power electronics roadmaps.
• Ensure seamless integration with energy management systems, telematics, and cloud services.
• Work with external partners (utilities, standards bodies, certification labs, charger manufacturers) to ensure platform interoperability and validation.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in technical product management, systems engineering, or platform architecture in EV charging, energy, or automotive domains.
• Proven experience working with ISO 15118-2/-20, IEEE 1547, or other key EV/V2X protocols.
• Strong understanding of EV architectures, onboard charger systems, high‑voltage domains, or DER interconnection requirements.
• Ability to create conceptual and logical architecture diagrams, system requirement specifications, and platform‑level documentation.
• Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable leading technical discussions.

• Experience with bidirectional charging systems (V2H, V2G, V2L).
• Familiarity with DERMS, energy management platforms, or inverter technologies.
• Experience with interoperability testing (CharIN, UL, CSA, utility sandboxes).
• Background in cloud‑connected energy services, IoT communication stacks, or charging network systems.
  
  Ability to influence engineering execution while maintaining a strong platform mindset.

• A scalable, extensible, standards‑compliant charging & V2X platform architecture.
• Strong partnerships with engineering teams and clear technical documentation.
• Smooth interoperability across chargers, utilities, grid programs, and future energy features.
• A roadmap that future‑proofs the platform for emerging charging standards and technologies.
