What to Expect

You will be immersed in the design engineering process and will shepherd projects from concept through to prototype validation and then production ramp. You will use your engineering background to understand the product requirements, technical risks, and the validation strategy to accelerate the development process. You will communicate and present project status, highlight schedule risk, and develop recovery plans in the event of project slip. On a daily basis, you will interface with cross function teams - design, manufacturing, compliance, system test, reliability, supply chain and operations to define and drive development of new product programs, while also managing changes in existing programs.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy on your programs while contributing to the development of tools and processes that improve the organization’s productivity.

You will be based out of the Palo Alto, California with the expectation of some travel to our Gigafactory 1 (Reno, NV), Gigafactory 2 (Buffalo, NY) or vendor sites.

  • Identify tactical (exercise operational excellence) and creative ways to overcome obstacles while meeting deadlines despite setback
  • Develop tools to automate various reporting or planning functions for the Technical Programs Management team
  • Conduct planning and execution/support of NPI builds
What You’ll Bring
  • 3+ years of experience in a fast paced, NPI, cross-functional team orientated environment managing programs for high volume mass production products
  • Demonstrated understanding of new product development cycles and criticality of time-to-market – any time spent on perfecting a design is foregoing the next big thing
  • Ability to grasp complex technical topics and abstract key issues and risks in an actionable form
  • Detail oriented with strong record-keeping and organizational skills, as well as excellent communication skills both verbal and written
