  • Track investments, lab readiness, prototype materials, supplier dependencies, budgets, deliverables, and manufacturing-readiness requirements.
  • Support customer engagements, technical demonstrations, roadmap reviews, and proof-of-concept programs.
  • Establish scalable program-management processes, dashboards, templates, and governance practices for the CTO organization.
  • Provide clear, concise, and decision-oriented updates to technical and executive stakeholders.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

  • Ability to connect multiple technical disciplines, including systems architecture, power, cooling, mechanical, electrical, controls, software, validation, and manufacturing.
  • Experience working with engineering leadership, product teams, customers, suppliers, manufacturing, quality, and executive stakeholders.
