As a Senior Product Manager, you will serve as a key program owner within OmniOn's Traditional Core Products Business Unit. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role requiring a strong electrical engineering foundation and the ability to translate external market and customer needs into differentiated, manufacturable product programs that deliver revenue and margin targets.
You will be the business owner for your assigned programs, owning market and competitive intelligence, product definition and prioritization, and the commercial model (value proposition, pricing, and margin). The scope is designed to be adaptable based on the right candidate and evolving division-of-labor needs across the product management team, with clear outcomes: efficient use of resources, capture and expansion of key customers, and growth of revenue at targeted gross margin.
Scope note: Traditional Core Products is historically telecom-dominant but also supports adjacent applications such as industrial automation and robotics.
Key Responsibilities- Own the industrial products program strategy and roadmap: define program charters, multi-year roadmaps, and portfolio priorities aligned to Traditional Core Products BU goals; proactively identify where to invest, pause, or pivot based on market signals and internal capability.
- Lead market and competitive intelligence: anticipate technology and market shifts; monitor competitors, pricing moves, and customer roadmaps; and translate insights into clear product/program actions to improve win-rate, revenue, and margin.
- Be the voice of the market and customer: gather and synthesize voice-of-customer, channel feedback, and market data to shape requirements, positioning, and investment decisions.
- Own commercial strategy (pricing, revenue, margin): build value propositions and the pricing architecture for your programs based on competitive benchmarks, value creation, and full cost (BOM, conversion, and cost-to-serve). Lead pricing actions over time, including price increases/discount governance and adjustments driven by market conditions, competitive pressure, BOM changes, conversion-cost improvements, and product transitions to deliver revenue and gross margin targets.
- Business cases, program pipeline, and prioritization: identify and size new opportunities, build business cases (TAM/SAM/SOM, ROI), and recommend the best programs to pursue given customer demand, competitive dynamics, and OmniOn's engineering, R&D, and manufacturing capabilities; partner with leadership to evolve program ownership as team needs change.
- Cross-functional execution: partner with engineering and project/program management to translate requirements into clear specifications, manage tradeoffs, and ensure on-time, on-cost execution through NPI and industrialization.
- Customer engagement and growth: engage strategic customers and work with the sales team to uncover new opportunities, clarify needs, support RFIs/RFQs, influence design-ins, and accelerate growth for assigned core product programs.
- Lifecycle management: manage products from concept through launch, ramp, sustaining, and end-of-life including portfolio rationalization and migration planning.
- Manufacturing and supply alignment: partner with factory/operations, purchasing, and logistics to align capacity, cost, quality, and lead-time commitments with the product plan across NPI, ramp, and sustaining phases.
- Go-to-market enablement: collaborate with BU product marketing and corporate marketing communications team on messaging, collateral, and training; support launches and sales enablement.
- Performance management: track and report key metrics (orders, revenue, margin, forecast accuracy, NPI milestones, program health) and communicate wins/losses and corrective actions to leadership.
Key Interfaces- Internal: R&D/engineering, program/project management, manufacturing/operations, supply chain (purchasing, logistics), quality, finance, sales, product marketing, corporate marketing.
- Peers: product managers responsible for adjacent segments and product lines.
- External: strategic customers, channel partners, suppliers/technology partners (as applicable).
QualificationsRequired- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or closely related field) is required.
- 7+ years of experience in product management, product marketing, applications engineering, or technical commercial roles within power electronics, power conversion, telecom/data center power, or adjacent markets.
- Demonstrated commercial ownership: pricing strategy, margin management, business case development, and accountability to revenue and gross margin results.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional work in a matrixed organization partnering effectively with R&D, manufacturing/operations, supply chain, sales, marketing, and finance.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to translate data and market signals into clear decisions and priorities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior leadership and to customers.
Preferred- Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and/or MBA.
- Experience with front-end power, AC/DC and DC/DC architectures, and system-level tradeoffs (efficiency, power density, thermal, reliability, certifications, cost).
- Familiarity with formal NPI/stage-gate processes and product lifecycle management practices.
- Experience managing RFQs/RFIs and customer customization in an engineered-to-order and/or configure-to-order environment.
- Global manufacturing exposure and understanding of cost drivers (BOM, labor, yield, test, supplier strategy, logistics).
