About the role

  • The demand for electricity is growing faster than ever, driven by AI data centers and electrification.
  • Solar and wind now generate the lowest cost electricity in many regions, but reliable capacity requires massive growth in energy storage.
  • Lithium-ion batteries have been deployed on the grid, but the world needs solutions that are lower cost, longer lifetime, better safety, and not limited by raw materials availability and foreign supply chains.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 3+ years of experience in technical program management, systems engineering, or product development.
  • Strong understanding of battery fundamentals (electrochemistry, degradation, thermal behavior).
  • Experience with system integration (cells → modules → racks → containerized systems).
  • Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
  • Preferred Qualifications Experience with current or battery chemistries Knowledge of grid-scale energy storage applications and utility requirements.

Nice to have

  • Experience with current or battery chemistries Knowledge of grid-scale energy storage applications and utility requirements.
  • Experience with safety and certification standards (UL 1973, UL 9540, UL 9540A, IEC 62619).
  • Background in DFMEA, PFMEA, and reliability engineering.
  • Experience scaling products from prototype to mass production.
  • PMP or equivalent certification.

Compensation

  • $121,000 - $148,000 depending on qualifications, location, and experience
