Job Purpose

The Technical Program Manager owns the planning and coordination of hardware programs focused on our additive technology and other traditionally manufactured power generation components. This role helps bridge the gap between engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations—ensuring our beta-stage designs make a successful leap to production.

Duties and Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the end-to-end program execution for mechanical components, from prototype validation to initial production ramp.
• Partner with mechanical design engineers and manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are manufacturable and scalable.
• Develop and maintain detailed project timelines, tracking milestones, budgets, and risk mitigation plans.
• Lead cross-functional meetings to align engineering, operations, procurement, quality assurance and external vendors around shared goals.
• Coordinate testing and validation of parts, including mechanical, thermal, and durability testing in real-world power generation applications.
• Assist in supplier sourcing, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) reviews, and process validation with AM (Additive Manufacturing) partners.  Track any ECRs resulting from modifications needed from design issues, testing, DFM or DFMEA activities.
• Report regularly to leadership on program status, blockers, and key decision points.

Project Coordination & Support:

• Deep dive into the Mechanical hardware program blocks .
• Track project milestones, tasks, and deadlines, proactively identifying, flagging potential delays or risks, and actively problem solve to mitigate the risk in the delays.
• Schedule and coordinate project meetings, including preparing agendas, taking minutes, and tracking action items.
• Support the preparation of project status reports and presentations for stakeholders.

Documentation & Information Management:

• Maintain and organize all project-related documentation, including technical specifications, engineering change management, design documents, test reports, and manufacturing procedures.
• Ensure documentation is up-to-date, accessible, and compliant with company standards.
• Assist in the development and implementation of document control processes.

Other duties as assigned may be assigned as required for this role.
