What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager / Senior Product Analyst position at Qnetic?
Qnetic was founded with the mission to enable the transition to clean, sustainable energy. To achieve it, we are developing a high-performance energy storage system for the electric grid, based on new flywheel technology. It delivers ‘energy shifting’ at a lower cost than anything we know about. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, Qnetic has 3x the lifetime, 2x the discharge duration, 0.5x the cost and 0x the degradation.
We’re building something fundamentally different — and we’re looking for people who are driven to solve hard challenges, do meaningful work, and make a real impact on the future of energy.
About The Role
Qnetic is seeking a Product Manager (Senior Analyst or Manager level) to drive the definition, modeling, and delivery of our energy storage solutions. This role blends strategic product ownership with rigorous analytical modeling. You will translate complex technical, operational, and commercial requirements into actionable product specifications and development pathways. Your work will shape how Qnetic’s technology is deployed across diverse markets and use cases.
