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
