Emily Zhang is a Senior Product Manager with 13 years of experience building firmware and software for hardtech products, now driving product at Tesla from San Francisco. She has led cross-functional teams through full lifecycles—requirements, firmware and cloud roadmaps, testing, and launch—across grid-scale energy storage, vehicle telematics, and lidar sensor platforms. Emily pairs an MEng in EECS from MIT with hands-on technical roots as a former FAE and engineer, enabling her to translate customer feedback into precise firmware specs and APIs. At Zitara she defined GTM for grid-scale storage and tightened battery state estimation through close collaboration with modeling teams, and at Samsara she engineered an operations pipeline that raised vehicle data coverage from 89% to 98%. Known for turning field engineering experience into strategic roadmaps, she also trains sales and support teams to scale complex hardware-software products.
