Job Description

Role:

Product Manager - Hardware Work Location: Bangalore Experience: 6-12 years Team Values: Teamwork | Innovation | Extreme Ownership | Tenacity

OBJECTIVES OF THIS ROLEo Own the product vision and roadmap for 75F's embedded hardware and firmware platforms

Define hardware and firmware specs for edge devices, controllers, and environmental sensors Collaborate with engineering on board design, schematic reviews, prototyping, and testing Drive architectural alignment between firmware stack and hardware capabilities Ensure regulatory compliance (UL, CE, FCC) and industry protocol adherence (BACnet, Modbus, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.) Balance performance, power, reliability, and cost in hardware/firmware decisions

KEY RESPONSIBILITIESo Define technical product requirements for control boards, IoT edge devices, and smart sensors

Oversee hardware design lifecycle: component selection, schematic/PCB reviews, EVT/DVT/PVT phases Work with firmware teams on embedded development for control loops, device drivers, RTOS-based systems Manage hardware-firmware integration planning including OTA update mechanisms and diagnostics Own validation test plans for field environments--thermal, electrical, RF, and real-world use cases Interface with external hardware design houses and manufacturing partners Track bugs, reliability issues, and drive root cause analysis to closure across firmware and hardware Collaborate with Product Marketing and Sales for technical documentation and value messaging Lead competitive benchmarking of product hardware and embedded capabilities

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONSo 4+ years of experience in product management or design for hardware or embedded systems

Deep understanding of PCB design, board bring-up, sensors, power systems, and microcontrollers Hands-on experience with embedded firmware development and debugging (C/C++, RTOS, MCUs, SoCs) Familiarity with HVAC and BMS control topologies and protocols (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, Zigbee, BLE) Experience with hardware validation tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, thermal chambers, RF testers) Strong grasp of embedded systems integration, diagnostics, bootloaders, OTA mechanisms Proven ability to work closely with hardware/firmware teams and convert customer needs into product specs Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, or related engineering fields Excellent communication skills, documentation ability, and cross-functional stakeholder management Passionate about IoT and energy-efficient smart building technologies

EXPECTED OUTCOMESo Successfully launch highly reliable and integrated hardware platforms aligned with product roadmap

Streamline hardware/firmware co-development process and reduce time-to-market Deliver seamless edge intelligence capabilities--sensor integration, local control, and secure connectivity Ensure rigorous design validation and field reliability across all deployed hardware * Maintain competitive advantage by continuously improving hardware performance, cost efficiency, and feature set
