About the role
We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Technical Program Manager who will own the lifecycle reliability of our deployed electrification infrastructure. This is not a desk-only role. You will be in the field, at our sites, investigating real failures on real equipment — and then you will come back and build the programs, processes, and cross-functional mechanisms to make sure those failures don't happen again, or that we catch them before they impact operations.
Responsibilities
- Own field failure investigation and root cause analysis for deployed electrification infrastructure, including charging systems, power distribution equipment, switchgear, transformers, and associated electrical components
- Identify systemic failure patterns across the installed fleet and develop programmatic solutions to address root causes — including specification changes, supplier quality requirements, construction standard updates, and design improvements
- Build and operationalize proactive failure detection and mitigation programs leveraging telemetry, monitoring data, inspection protocols, and predictive analytics to identify and address issues before they impact operations
- Drive cross-functional alignment across Hardware Engineering, Construction, Design, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain Quality, and external suppliers/contractors to implement corrective and preventive actions
- Develop and maintain fleet-wide reliability metrics and reporting mechanisms that provide leadership with clear visibility into infrastructure health, failure trends, and program effectiveness
- Travel to field sites and vendors (33% of the time) to conduct investigations, validate installations, audit corrective actions, and build relationships with field teams
- Create and maintain technical documentation including failure analysis reports, specification change requests, inspection protocols, and programmatic playbooks
- Represent the reliability and field performance perspective in design reviews, supplier business reviews, and program milestone reviews
Qualifications
- 5+ years of technical product or program management experience
- Experience managing technical programs across cross-functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules
- 3+ years of experience with electrical power systems, power distribution, or electrification infrastructure (e.g., EV charging, utility interconnections, switchgear, transformers, power conversion equipment)
- Demonstrated experience conducting structured root cause analysis (e.g., 5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, Fault Tree Analysis, 8D) on electrical or electromechanical systems
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of working directly with engineering teams experience
- Experience defining KPI's/SLA's used to drive multi-million dollar businesses and reporting to senior leadership
- Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Power Engineering, or a related field
- Experience with EV charging infrastructure (DCFC, Level 2, fleet charging) including EVSE hardware, power electronics, and communication protocols (OCPP, ISO 15118)
- Experience with electrical construction quality management, commissioning, and acceptance testing (NETA, NFPA 70E)
- Experience with medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) power distribution systems
