Job Description
We’re seeking a Product Manager to lead strategy, development and commercial performance for MCG’s medium voltage switchgear portfolio, including configurable offers for data centers and other critical power facilities. Owning product scope, positioning and the roadmap across standard configurations and engineered exceptions. Work with Engineering and Operations to balance ratings, interfaces, cost and delivery for utility service, on-site generation and modular power applications.
Reporting directly to the VP of Innovation, this role will own the product lifecycle for LV switchgear solutions—from market analysis and customer requirements through product definition, launch, adoption, and continuous improvement. This position sits at the intersection of engineering, customer needs, manufacturing, and business strategy, transforming technical requirements into scalable, standardized products that drive growth and competitive differentiation.
What You’ll Do
- Set the roadmap using customer specifications, market trends and win/loss results. Validate opportunities with operators, consulting engineers and EPC firms.
- Define supported configurations and exception boundaries. Standardize recurring options and reusable designs with Engineering and Operations.
- Translate specifications into product requirements and acceptance criteria. Clarify ratings, protection and control interfaces, installation and service needs with Engineering.
- Build business cases that account for demand, margin, development and test costs. Lead development, qualification and launch with Engineering, Quality and Operations.
- Set pricing for platforms, options and engineered exceptions. Account for component cost, engineering effort, lead time and scope risk.
- Improve manufacturability and address breaker and relay supply constraints. Align product plans with factory capacity and lead times.
- Equip Sales and Applications with specifications, selection tools, quotation guidance and training for standard and engineered offers.
- Track orders, margin, quote turnaround and adoption of standard configurations. Use factory testing, commissioning and field feedback to guide lifecycle improvements.
Key Skills
- Read single-line diagrams and specifications. Use voltage and current ratings, short-circuit duty and insulation level (BIL) to assess application fit.
- Explain how breaker and bus arrangements, protection schemes, interlocks and cable access affect installation and service.
- Use customer and commercial data in Excel to compare alternatives and test demand, pricing and margin assumptions.
- Build agreement across functions, explain trade-offs and raise risks early. Adapt recommendations when evidence changes.
Qualifications
What We’re Looking For
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years in electrical power distribution, including direct MV switchgear experience in applications, technical sales, engineering, development or product management.
- Working familiarity with IEEE C37.20.2 for metal-clad switchgear and C37.20.3 where interrupter switchgear is in scope.
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, engineering technology or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Track record of owning product or commercial initiatives and delivering measurable results.
Preferred Qualifications
- Engineered-to-order or configure-to-order switchgear experience, including standardization or selection tools.
- Experience with data center distribution, utility interfaces, on-site generation or modular power integration.
- Participation in switchgear qualification, factory acceptance testing or commissioning.
