Technical Product Manager | Heat Pumps
📍Hybrid 💰 € 6,300 – € 7,200 🎯 Business Development
About BlueHeart Energy
BlueHeart Energy was founded in 2016 as a deep-tech company that has developed a new sustainable thermoacoustics technology to radically improve the performance of heat pumps, enabling them to evolve from being the best solution in the market to becoming the perfect solution. Our technology is a disruptive approach to generate heat and cold, with potential to revolutionize the whole industry.
With our so called 'Blue Heart' inside, heat pumps turn into affordable, silent and flexible devices, capable of working with wide temperature ranges suitable for both new and existing houses. Importantly, BlueHeart doesn’t require any refrigerants and doesn’t generate any CO2e emissions.
About the Role
This is a high-ownership that sits at the intersection of customer requirements and R&D/engineering development. Technical Product Manager, you are the strategic and technical bridge between what our customers and OEM partners need and what our engineering teams build.
Your primary focus is residential HVAC. You translate customer needs into actionable technical requirements, connect OEMs with the product’s capabilities and performance, and influence our product roadmap based on market feedback. You support Sales with deep technical expertise, and you have the confidence and authority to push back on commercial requests when they are technically unrealistic.
This is not a purely executional role. You are accountable for application-level outcomes and direction. You define what needs to be investigated and validated; R&D owns the execution of modeling and analysis. You lead the communication loops, set the priorities, and own the roadmap at the application layer.
What You’ll Do
Customer & OEM Requirements
Gather, structure, and refine customer and OEM requirements, translating them into clear technical and application-level specifications
Lead communication loops between commercial teams and customers to ensure missing technical information is obtained and resolved
Define what success looks like for customers from a testing and application perspective
Connect OEMs with product capabilities and performance data to support their integration decisions
Product Roadmap & Development Influence
Own the application-level product roadmap and priorities, ensuring they reflect real customer and market needs
Influence product development direction by feeding customer feedback and field insights into R&D priorities
Define key application-level parameters and KPIs for testing, performance analysis, and product validation
Guide what should be investigated and validated at the application layer, working closely with R&D who execute the analysis
Push back constructively on commercial requests that are technically unrealistic, acting as a credible technical authority
Technical & Application Leadership
Develop and maintain deep knowledge of the Blue Heart unit’s operating envelope, performance characteristics, and system integration requirements
Define application-level performance metrics and acceptance test criteria for customer projects
Translate technical findings and field learnings into engineering requirements and product direction
Identify knowledge gaps at the application level and define structured approaches to close them
Commercial & Cross-functional Collaboration
Support Sales with deep technical expertise throughout the commercial process
Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Sales, and Project teams to align application requirements, product capabilities, and business objectives
Represent Blue Heart at industry events and trade shows (e.g. Hannover Messe, ISH)
Train internal teams on application knowledge and field learnings
What We’re Looking For
Deep HVAC & Application Expertise
Strong, hands-on knowledge of heat pump or HVAC systems — you understand systems at a depth that earns credibility with both engineers and customers
5–10 years of experience in a field, application, or product engineering context in HVAC or adjacent thermal systems
Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and system-level integration
Ability to read and define P&IDs and understand the practical realities of heat pump installation and integration
Translation & Communication Skills
Exceptional ability to translate between the language of customers and commercial teams on one side, and R&D and engineering teams on the other
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; Dutch is a plus
Comfortable presenting technical findings in a structured way to both technical and non-technical audiences
Product Management & Roadmap Ownership
Proven ability to gather and refine requirements, define priorities, and own a product or application roadmap
Experience working in product management, product ownership, or a senior application engineering role with significant product influence
Able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, set clear expectations, and drive to completion
Commercial skills or exposure to sales processes are not required, but would be a strong plus
Mindset & Ways of Working
Strong ownership mindset — you hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just tasks
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making pragmatic decisions with incomplete information
Proactive and solution-oriented, with confidence to challenge unrealistic requests constructively
Willingness to travel to customer and partner sites (approx. 20–30% of time)
What We Offer
Salary range between € 6,300 – € 7,200 monthly gross depending on experience.
Opportunity to participate in the ESOP scheme, directly linked to company value creation and individual performance.
25 vacation days.
Hybrid work arrangement supporting autonomy and work–life balance.
Training opportunities to support in your personal and professional development with access to extensive training opportunities at your request.
Access to OpenUp, because we prioritize mental well-being.
Participation in our pension scheme with employer contribution.
Commuting allowance, in line with our travel policy.
A high-ownership role in a purpose-driven scale-up, contributing to a greener world and shaping the future of sustainable thermal technology. Learn more about our mission here.
