The Company

A market leader in the U.S. energy industry, generating multi-billion-dollar annual revenue and continuing to scale rapidly across utility-scale storage, power infrastructure, solar manufacturing, and advanced industrial products.

The business is investing heavily in domestic solar manufacturing and building a more vertically integrated solar offering spanning cell technology, module design, manufacturing, and complete utility-scale solar power plant systems.

Fully integrated across hardware, software, engineering, manufacturing, and deployment, the company offers a rare opportunity to influence products from early technology development through commercialization and large-scale deployment.

The Role

As a Senior, Staff, or Senior Staff Product Manager for Utility-Scale Solar, you will help define and commercialize the company’s next generation of solar products, with an immediate focus on solar cell and module technology.

You will work closely with cell and module engineering, manufacturing, applications, commercial, energy storage, and broader power plant teams to determine what products should be built, how they should perform, and how cell-level technology decisions translate into competitive products for the utility-scale market.

The role requires strong technical knowledge of solar cell manufacturing and development, combined with the ability to connect this into module performance, reliability, manufacturability, product requirements, applications, system economics, and commercialization at scale.

Over time, the scope extends across the wider utility-scale plant, including power electronics, DC collection, grid infrastructure, controls, SCADA, and solar-plus-storage configurations.

Responsibilities Include:

• Defining product strategy and roadmap across solar cell, module, and utility-scale power plant products
• Translating market and customer requirements into cell-, module-, and system-level product specifications
• Working with engineering teams to define performance targets, technical requirements, and integration specifications
• Supporting the development and commercialization of new solar cell and module technologies
• Evaluating trade-offs across efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, cost, energy yield, and system performance
• Working with applications, sales, and commercial teams on product positioning, technical proposals, and customer requirements
• Engaging with developers, IPPs, EPCs, utilities, and strategic customers to validate product direction
• Contributing to decisions across power electronics, DC collection, substations, plant controls, SCADA, and solar-plus-storage
• Building or reviewing techno-economic models covering energy yield, clipping, curtailment, and project economics

The Candidate

• Strong engineering background with direct experience in solar cell technology, manufacturing, development, or integration
• Prior product management experience is not required, but you should be motivated to transition into a product role
• Experience translating cell-level technology into module, product, application, or commercialization decisions
• Strong understanding of solar module performance, reliability, manufacturability, and product requirements
• Comfortable engaging with materials, chemical, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams
• Experience working across product development, applications, technical solutions, systems engineering, or commercialization
• Understanding of the wider utility-scale solar market and how module and cell decisions influence project economics and system performance
• Experience with utility-scale solar, solar-plus-storage, or broader plant architecture is highly beneficial
• Able to translate complex technical, market, and customer requirements into clear product decisions
• Willing to work from Palo Alto, California

The team is considering candidates at Senior, Staff, and Senior Staff level depending on experience, technical depth, and previous product ownership.
