Technical Program Manager

Charge Robotics is hiring a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to own one of our most important programs: adapting our Sunrise system for a new deployment, taking it through an engineering development cycle and international field deployment. You'll be the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, commercial, and field teams keeping a complex, multi-workstream effort on schedule and on spec from design through deployment.

What you'll be working on

• Own the end-to-end program plan and schedule for the engineering development and deployment effort, coordinating across commercial, leadership, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and field teams
• Drive the design adaptation cycle for the new system tracking requirements, design reviews, and milestones from concept through production readiness
• Collaborate with supply chain to manage external vendors and contract manufacturers to meet timelines, deliverables, and quality requirements
• Plan and coordinate international deployment logistics (freight, mobilization, and on-site readiness) in partnership with field, engineering, and customer teams
• Maintain a clear view of risks, dependencies, and critical path; surface tradeoffs and keep stakeholders aligned on status and decisions

You

• Have 4+ years of technical program or project management experience, ideally with complex hardware systems
• Have excellent organizational and communication skills, with a track record of driving alignment across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and external partners
• Operate effectively amid ambiguity in the fast-paced environment of a rapidly growing startup
• Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
• Are open to travel (including international) to support manufacturing and deployment, and excited to see our robots deployed onto actual solar farms!

It'd also be nice if you

• Have managed international hardware deployments or worked with overseas vendors and logistics
• Are familiar with one or multiple of our intersecting industries: solar, robotics, construction
• Are motivated by playing a direct role in fighting climate change by accelerating the transition to renewables
