About the role

Technical Program Manager Lead responsible for running the R&D program portfolio for modular and behind-the-meter designs across mechanical, electrical, controls, and modelling workstreams at Fluidstack.

Responsibilities

  • Run the R&D program portfolio that turns modular and behind-the-meter designs into buildable, ordered, and scheduled reality across mechanical, electrical, controls, and modelling workstreams.
  • Hold one integrated view of the dependencies, decisions, and dates where workstreams share the same engineers and deadlines, and keep it current as designs change.
  • Run the operating rhythm of design reviews, decision logs, and escalations that keeps every workstream aligned and surfaces slips weeks before they hit the schedule.
  • Produce the honest one-pager on where every R&D program stands, so leadership sees real status and open decisions without chasing them.
  • Keep program artifacts as the single source of truth engineers actually run off of, so every program works from one current plan instead of scattered threads.

Qualifications

  • You've run TPM or program management for hardware, infrastructure, or capital programs, and you still go hands-on when a program is stuck.
  • You've run portfolios where workstreams shared the same engineers and deadlines, and held one integrated view of dependencies and dates across them.
  • You surface the slip weeks early with the recovery options already attached, not after the date has moved.
  • Your program artifacts are the source of truth teams run off of, not decks that go stale the week after you build them.
  • You write and speak clearly enough to distill a tangled cross-workstream issue into a decision and a next step for an engineer or an executive.
  • Bonus: Data center or energy programs. NPI frameworks. Modular or productized hardware. Schedule risk analysis.
