## Description

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the development and deployment of next-generation Iron-Sodium Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role will oversee multiple concurrent programs spanning cell development, module and rack integration, and full system deployment for utility-scale and commercial applications.

The TPM will operate at the intersection of electrochemistry, mechanical/electrical engineering, and system integration-driving alignment across R&D, product engineering, manufacturing, and field deployment teams. The ideal candidate brings strong technical depth, program execution rigor, and experience scaling complex energy storage systems from prototype through commercialization., * End-to-End Program Ownership: Lead multiple customer and grant programs from early-stage requirement definition through prototype builds and commercial deployment.

 * Grant Management: Own application and report writing and team coordination to ensure all success metrics are met; assist with grant application project management and non-technical grant compliance such as budget and time management.
 * System and Product Integration: Drive alignment between cell performance characteristics and system-level requirements including safety, thermal management, and grid integration.
 * Program Planning & Execution: Develop and maintain integrated master schedules, critical paths, and milestone and financial tracking across hardware and software work streams.
 * Technical Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks related to production scale-up, performance, and system reliability.
 * Validation & Compliance: Oversee test plans and validation efforts including performance, safety (UL 9540A, IEC standards), environmental, and lifecycle testing.
 * Project Management: Project management of field deployments, commissioning, and early-life performance monitoring of installed BESS systems.
 * Stakeholder Communication: Provide regular program updates to executive leadership, system integration and deployment partners and customer stakeholders, clearly communicating technical progress, risks, and trade-offs.
