OBJECTIVES OF THIS ROLE

• 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 RESPONSIBILITIES

• 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 QUALIFICATIONS

• 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 OUTCOMES

• 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
