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.
