About Peak Energy

We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.
We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.
About the Role - Technical Product Manager
We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to join the product team and own the intersection of product requirements, hardware specifications, and go-to-market configuration strategy. This is a role for someone who is genuinely comfortable going deep on technical content - reading through standards documents, interrogating engineering tradeoffs, and translating them into clear, actionable product requirements - while also thinking at the level of market positioning and product offering strategy.
You'll work closely with our engineering, commercial, and operations teams to define what we build and how we package it. You won't be managing external customer relationships day-to-day, but your decisions will directly shape what customers experience: what configurations are available, what certifications we hold, our strategy around power conversion and software, and how our product competes on technical merit in the markets we serve.
