The Engineering Program Management TeamYou'll join the technical program managers who run Fluidstack's infrastructure R&D programs. This role sits with the Electrical Equipment product engineering group, which is designing the medium-voltage switchgear, low-voltage switchboards and busway, and prefabricated electrical skids and e-houses that Fluidstack will manufacture in its own factory rather than buy from the market. Your job is to drive those designs from concept to a released, manufacturable product on a schedule the factory and the build can hold.
Examples of key problems the team is working on- Taking equipment that the industry buys as catalog products and re-engineering it as Fluidstack-owned designs with a bill of materials, drawings, and test procedures a factory line can build to.
- Running concept, preliminary, and critical design reviews across several equipment families in parallel and closing the actions they generate.
- Qualifying the components and sub-suppliers each design depends on, with second sources, before the design is frozen.
- Handing a released design to manufacturing engineering with the documentation, tooling, and test plan needed for the first production lot.
Role Scope- Drive the design program. Own the integrated plan for one or more electrical equipment product lines from requirements through design release, and hold the engineering team to its gates.
- Run the design reviews. Schedule and run concept, preliminary, and critical design reviews, capture decisions and actions, and close them before the next gate.
- Make it manufacturable. Bring manufacturing engineering, quality, and supply chain into the design early so bills of materials, tolerances, and test procedures are ready when the design releases.
- Manage the component supply. Track long-lead components, sub-supplier qualification, and second sourcing against the design schedule, and escalate what will slip.
- Hold the configuration. Keep specifications, drawings, and change requests in one controlled set so the factory builds what engineering released.
- Report the truth. Keep program status, risks, and spend visible to engineering leadership without waiting to be asked.
What We're Looking ForThe below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.- 5+ years of technical program management on electrical or electromechanical hardware that was designed and manufactured in house, ideally switchgear, switchboards, power distribution, or electrical enclosures.
- You have taken at least one hardware product from concept through design release and first production lot, running the design review gates along the way.
- You understand design for manufacturing, configuration management, and how a bill of materials, drawing package, and test procedure get a design onto a factory line.
- You read electrical single-lines, equipment schedules, and mechanical drawings well enough to catch a problem before the engineer does.
- You have managed component suppliers and sub-supplier qualification to a design schedule.
- You write clear, short status that an executive can act on and an engineer will not dispute.
- Bonus: Electrical engineering degree or PE license. UL 891, UL 1558, or IEEE C37 product certification experience. New product introduction in a low-volume, high-mix factory.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
