About the role

Technical Program Manager role within Fluidstack's R&D team, owning end-to-end PM plans for hardware/infrastructure programs from concept to production handoff, coordinating across R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and deployment teams in a fast-paced, autonomy-driven environment.

Responsibilities

  • 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, coordinating 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.

Qualifications

  • 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.
