Role Scope- Own program plans across R&D workstreams: scope, sequencing, owners, and the critical path from concept through prototype, qualification, and production handoff.
- Run NPI programs end to end - coordinate design reviews, build schedules, long-lead procurement, and lab/test capacity so nothing waits on ambiguity.
- Drive cross-functional execution between R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and deployment teams; surface risks early and force decisions fast.
- Build the reporting cadence leadership runs on: honest status, slipping items named, recovery plans attached.
- Turn recurring chaos into process only where process pays for itself - we optimize for velocity, not ceremony.
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 across hardware or infrastructure programs - NPI, data center, energy, aerospace, automotive, or similar build-heavy domains.
- Comfortable in the details of mechanical/electrical/controls engineering programs - you can read a schedule risk off an engineering conversation.
- Proven at running multiple concurrent programs with distributed engineering, manufacturing, and vendor teams.
- Bias to action: you close loops yourself, escalate with options not problems, and keep programs moving without waiting to be asked.
- On-site energy: this role lives close to the lab and the factory floor.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
