About The Position

Quilt's mission is to move humanity off of fossil fuels in the home. We are a technology company focused on improving the energy systems, health, and comfort of buildings. We have built the first new major HVAC manufacturer in over 100 years. Our systems combine efficient heat pumps with modern artificial intelligence, including occupancy detection, over-the-air updates, real-time energy optimization, and remote monitoring. Quilt is a product company at its core, holding high standards for product thinking and execution. We focus on customer-obsession, design thinking, great communication skills, and a high standard for quality, paired with the ability to drive pragmatic tradeoffs to ship with speed. Product Managers at Quilt create clarity, ensure everyone knows what is important and why, what isn’t, what success looks like, how everything connects to the bigger picture, and take responsibility for an excellent outcome. PMs at Quilt are generalists, organizing work by project and outcome. You will be expected to drive any kind of product development at Quilt, from integrated intelligent hardware-software products to AI products and data infrastructure, to consumer-facing software features, to partner-facing enterprise-class tooling. Physical AI accurately describes what we do: adding intelligence to the physical homes we all live in and the physical trades that service them. You will be one of Quilt’s first product managers and report directly to Bill Kee, Quilt co-founder and Chief Product Officer. You will also work closely with Paul Lambert, Quilt co-founder and CEO. This role offers significant autonomy, scope, and close founder collaboration, allowing you to PM across both an industry-leading physical product and its defining intelligence platform.

Requirements

Minimum 6 years professional work experience, at least 3 as a product manager. Being a founder of a product-led startup counts towards this. Internships don’t.
Have taken technology products successfully from zero to one.
Worked with engineers (software, hardware, or both) to go from an idea to a real, shipping product or significant feature with real impact.
Broadly and deeply curious and quick to learn.
Mission-driven, inspired by Quilt’s mission to move humanity off fossil fuels in the home.
AI-native, comfortable with the latest in AI tooling and use it as part of your daily workflow.
Ready for a growth-stage startup environment: fast-moving, with more scope, autonomy, and speed, but fewer resources and less support structure.
Bachelor’s Degree or Higher, or equivalent work experience.

Nice To Haves

Excited to talk about sales and growth strategies, UX design, software development, or hardware manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Drive new hardware introductions, taking Quilt flagship hardware-software products from requirements through launch, working with mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineers, manufacturing, and our B2B2C go-to-market channel.

Enhance the homeowner experience through new energy intelligence features built across the Quilt Dial and app, and smart home integrations.
