Technical Program Manager, New Product Introduction Through High-Volume Ramp

Job Description

: , , , - .

\n

\n

Most battery program roles hand you one slice of the lifecycle. This one hands you the whole thing, from first prototype through customer delivery.

\n

\n

\n

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, an established US battery manufacturer whose products go into applications where failure is not an option. Reliability is the entire brand, and their customers choose them for it.

\n

\n

\n

- Integrators who want to own a program end to end, not manage one phase of someone else's roadmap

\n

- People who move comfortably between an executive readout and a yield conversation on the production floor

\n

- Program managers who treat manufacturing as the scoreboard: yield, throughput, cycle time, and cost

\n

If you prefer mature programs where every process is already dialed in, this is not your role.

\n

\n

\n

You will be the programmatic and technical integrator across battery engineering, battery management systems (BMS), manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and commercial teams. Programs run from new product introduction through pilot line, production readiness, and high-volume ramp across cell, module, and pack assembly. You will interface directly with customers on requirements, statements of work (SOW), and delivery timelines, and report program status straight to executive leadership.
