Director of Hardware Product

Centennial, CO

About Jetson

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better.

Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable.

We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done.

The Opportunity:

Jetson is becoming the leading hardware company for the all-electric home, and we are looking for a product leader to own it. As Director of Hardware Product, you will lead the vision, roadmap, and delivery of Jetson's entire smart home hardware portfolio — heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, EV chargers, home batteries, smart electrical panels, and the connected appliances that define how homes generate, store, and use energy.

This is a builder's leadership role with two mandates: own the product strategy for everything Jetson brings into a home, and build the team that delivers it. You'll operate at the intersection of hardware, software, supply chain, field operations, and energy markets, with a mandate to make Jetson the most trusted brand in whole-home electrification.

What You Will Do:

  • Own the multi-year hardware roadmap across all of Jetson's product lines — heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, EV chargers, batteries, smart panels, and the software platform that orchestrates them. Decide what we bring to market and in what order.
  • Set the build vs. buy vs. partner strategy for each category, and develop the business case behind it: market sizing, competitive positioning, unit economics, and margin targets
  • Manage, coach, and grow a team of hardware product managers spanning Energy Systems, NPI program management, and technical product, and scale the org as the portfolio expands.
  • Set the operating rhythm: how the team prioritizes, writes requirements, runs stage gates, and makes decisions with speed and rigor. Establish and uphold the standard for what a great Jetson hardware product looks like.
  • Own the end-to-end NPI process from concept through scaled rollout — requirements, vendor and technology evaluation, prototyping, pilots, certification, and ramp.
  • Partner with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and Field Teams to ensure every product is installable, serviceable, and supportable at Jetson's quality bar, and clears UL/CSA certification, NEC code, and utility interconnection requirements
  • Architect how heat pumps, water heaters, chargers, batteries, and panels work together as one integrated home energy system, designed as a platform rather than a collection of SKUs.
  • Define the data model, telemetry, and control interfaces for intelligent energy orchestration, and drive interoperability with industry standards (e.g., Matter, OCPP, IEEE 2030.5, OpenADR).
  • Serve as the connective tissue between what Jetson builds and how we sell, install, and service it, partnering across Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, and Field Operations.
  • Define pricing, bundling, and rebate strategy across the portfolio, and partner with the Energy Markets team so new hardware enables demand response, VPP, and grid services participation.
  • Serve as Jetson's senior expert on the residential energy hardware landscape and our positioning relative to players like Tesla, Enphase, Span, FranklinWH, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Rheem.

What You Bring:

  • 8+ years of product management experience, with a meaningful portion spent bringing physical energy or electrification hardware to market (HVAC, heat pumps, water heating, battery storage, EV charging, or similar).
  • 5+ years directly managing and growing product teams. You hire well, develop people, and raise the bar of those around you.
  • Proven ability to take products from zero to one and scale a portfolio — you've launched a product line and managed multiple products through their lifecycle at once.
  • Deep understanding of the residential energy ecosystem: how heat pumps, water heaters, inverters, batteries, panels, chargers, and grid interconnection actually work in a home.
  • Experience evaluating OEM partnerships and technology integrations — assessing technical specs, negotiating requirements, and managing vendor relationships at a senior level.
  • Comfort operating across hardware and software, with enough fluency in embedded systems, connectivity protocols, and cloud platforms to set technical direction and make informed tradeoffs.
  • Strong product principles and frameworks, disciplined prioritization, and fluency with modern tools, including AI, to make your team faster and sharper.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
