What To Expect
Tesla’s mission is to build a world of amazing abundance, powered by sustainable energy. Our Residential Energy business delivers innovative solar, storage, and charging products to homes — and APAC is where many of those products meet the world’s most advanced distributed-energy markets.
As a Product Manager on the APAC Residential team, you will own defined workstreams inside product launches, market enablement, and partner/VPP integrations. You will work across Powerwall hardware, software and firmware, Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), Tesla Electric, and home charging, collaborating with internal teams (firmware, software, hardware, sales, service) and external parties (certified installers, VPP partners, distribution network operators). You’ll work independently day-to-day and be coached by senior team members on prioritisation and complex decisions.
In this role you will get the inputs: partner with AEMO, DNSPs, standards bodies, and internal firmware/software teams to ensure our products meet market and grid requirements; model the value: ensure every available value stream — backup, self-consumption, time-of-use, VPP revenue, FCAS — is accurately represented in product and proposal tooling; and communicate the value: ensure Partners, sales teams, and homeowners can see and capture that value in a way that drives regional growth.
