NPI TPM, Product Engineering

About the role

The Product Engineering Team at Fluidstack is responsible for driving the hardware development from concept to rate production, including racks, gear, and power conversion. This role involves managing complex programs from start to finish, ensuring they meet strict deadlines and deliverables.

Responsibilities

• Own the program schedule, stage gates, and cross-functional execution for a product family (rack, gear, or power conversion) from kickoff through rate production.
• Manage long-lead components and DVT-stage design changes against 20-week-plus lead times without blowing the program.
• Keep design, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain converging on the same build, revision, and date across multiple concurrent programs.
• Facilitate gate reviews and readiness scoring, and hold the line on what kills a pass, even when the schedule pressure says wave it through.
• Broker escalations and decisions between engineering and delivery so long-lead calls get made in days instead of weeks.
• Build program schedules that hold up even when the design team says everything is uncertain, with explicit assumptions and decision dates instead of padding.

Requirements

• 5-10 years of technical program management of hardware NPI at an OEM, ODM, or hyperscaler, running programs from kickoff through stage gates to rate production.
• An engineering degree and enough technical depth to hold design reviews honest: you can tell the difference between a real answer and a slide.
• Experience making the hard call on a slipping program (cut scope, slip the date, or spend to recover).
• Handling a DVT-stage component change against a 20-week lead time and knowing how to run that decision: who's in the room, what data settles it, and how fast it has to close.
• Building credible program schedules when the design team says everything is uncertain, and knowing which uncertainties to force to a decision.
• Tracking risk across 5+ workstreams with tooling and judgment instead of meetings, and the risks you flag are the ones that actually bite.
• Bonus: GPU or dense compute hardware programs, switchgear or power conversion NPI, contract manufacturer management, or experience running ECO and change-discipline systems.

Qualifications

• Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
• Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
• Committed to considering for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records pursuant to applicable law.
