About This Role

We are seeking a Sr Manager, Digital Product Management, Embedded Systems to serve as a business and product leader across embedded controls, edge devices, connectivity, and software-enabled refrigeration solutions. You will own the business case, lead market strategy, and drive the end-to-end delivery of edge-device and connectivity capabilities that are central to Carrier's multi-year growth agenda.

You will report to the Global Product Leader for Edge Devices & Connectivity and work closely with engineering, segment GMs, sales, commercial leadership, service, and the PMO across CST business units. This position offers a flexible hybrid schedule with travel as needed to support customers, engineering teams, and global business stakeholders.

Job Description

• Business case & P&L: Develop business cases for embedded systems, edge devices, and connected product capabilities from investment rationale through post-launch revenue, margin, lifecycle value, and adoption performance.
• Control systems modernization strategy: Help define the multi-year roadmap for embedded control architecture modernization, including platform consolidation, modular software standards, lifecycle rationalization, backward compatibility, and end-of-life migration planning.
• Unified platform leadership: Own product requirements for next-generation controller and edge-device platforms, ensuring architecture decisions support feature reuse, scalable deployment, regional requirements, and long-term maintainability.
• Firmware lifecycle & OTA ownership: Define product requirements for device management, version governance, release readiness, and over-the-air update capabilities across relevant product lines and connected installed bases.
• Market strategy: Lead segment strategy and growth planning, market segmentation, competitive positioning, pricing discipline, and value proposition definition across hardware, firmware, connectivity, and software-enabled offerings.
• NPI leadership: Drive NPI execution with clear stage-gate discipline, launch readiness, cross-functional coordination, customer validation, and commercialization ownership from concept through field deployment.

Competencies:

• Strong business case ownership with clear P&L orientation; able to build, defend, and manage investment cases rather than simply administer product backlogs.
• Ability to define and drive strategy and growth planning; sets market and platform direction while making clear recommendations in ambiguous environments.
• Embedded systems product credibility; understands how controller software, firmware, connectivity, protocols, and hardware-dependent software are built, released, deployed, and maintained in the field.
• Platform modernization leadership; able to translate fragmented legacy architectures into practical roadmaps for consolidation, modularization, backward compatibility, and phased migration.
• Proven track record in NPI execution and end-to-end delivery in hardware, connected product, or industrial software environments.
• Cross-functional influence; able to align engineering, service, commercial, and senior leadership around roadmaps, tradeoffs, funding decisions, and launch readiness.

Skills:

• Strategic planning and value management, including pricing discipline, investment prioritization, and roadmap tradeoff management.
• Customer relationship management with a strong external commercial orientation and the ability to translate customer needs into product requirements.
• Product and services management across hardware, firmware, embedded software, connectivity-adjacent software, diagnostics, and service enablement.
• Domain fluency in edge devices, IoT gateways, embedded controllers, telematics, connected hardware platforms, or industrial equipment software.
• Working knowledge of firmware release governance, modular software design, and field deployment constraints.
• Familiarity with communication protocols and middleware concepts relevant to connected industrial products, such as CAN, J1939, MQTT, APIs, or equivalent standards.
• Understanding of OTA update architectures, including firmware-over-the-air and software-over-the-air delivery, release readiness, and field update reliability.
• Strong analytical capability, structured use of VOC, data-driven insights, market analysis, and installed-base intelligence.
• Strategic thinking in ambiguous or evolving environments to make clear recommendations, not just options.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or Computer Science
• 8+ years of product management experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex software-for-hardware, embedded systems, or connected product portfolios.
• 5+ years of hands-on product management experience owning a roadmap, defining requirements, building business cases, and driving products from concept through delivery in a B2B or industrial context.
• Ability to travel up to 30% of the time, both domestically and internationally.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Business, Computer Science, or a related technical field; MBA or advanced technical degree preferred.
• Experience leading platform modernization, including embedded software consolidation, controller architecture transitions, lifecycle rationalization, or migration planning across multiple product generations.
• Background in transport refrigeration, commercial trailer, fleet management, cold chain, HVAC, industrial equipment, or adjacent hardware-software domains.
• Experience with connected product platforms, telematics, IoT-enabled embedded systems, remote monitoring ecosystems, or digital-service integration.
• Familiarity with OTA update architectures, firmware lifecycle governance, diagnostic tooling, field service toolchains, or release reliability improvement.
• Familiarity with product planning processes such as FGPP, MGPP, stage-gate, or equivalent portfolio governance frameworks.
