Hardware Technical Program Manager, Energy Storage

Hardware Technical Program Manager, Energy Storage

About the Role

We are seeking a Hardware Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the development, testing, and manufacturing of complex, box-level electronics assemblies. You will own program execution from concept through production, coordinating across hardware engineering, validation, supply chain, and operations. This role is about making sure our hardware - from circuit boards and flex assemblies to enclosures, connectors, and integrated box builds - is designed for reliability, tested thoroughly, and built to scale.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end hardware program execution (requirements → design → validation → NPI → ramp)
• Lead cross-functional teams spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, industrial design, test, and manufacturing engineering
• Plan and manage prototype and production builds, including materials, logistics, and factory readiness
• Oversee board and flex releases, system integration, and validation testing (DVT/PVT/MP builds)
• Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to drive DFM/DFT reviews, yield improvement, and issue resolution
• Maintain clear build plans, risk registers, and program dashboards; proactively manage schedule and resource risks
• Serve as the primary interface between Redwood engineering teams and external manufacturing partners
• Provide transparent updates to stakeholders and leadership, highlighting status, risks, and key decisions

Desired Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline (advanced degree a plus)
• 5+ years of experience in hardware program management, hardware engineering, or manufacturing operations
• Proven success driving NPI builds and scaling hardware programs to volume production
• Strong understanding of box-level assemblies (PCBs, flex circuits, harnessing, enclosures, thermal systems)
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and leadership skills; proven ability to thrive in high-ambiguity environments
• Willingness to travel to Redwood's sites, suppliers, and contract manufacturers as needed

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to safely perform job duties in both office and production environments.
• Must maintain regular and punctual attendance in alignment with company and regulatory standards.
• Must be able to communicate clearly.

Working Conditions:

• Willing to travel to Reno, NV as needed and for onboarding (if Bay Area based)
• Work schedule may vary depending on site operational needs, and flexibility is required
• Split work environment between office and the production facility. Work may involve extended periods of working in the production facility.
• Ability to work in challenging working conditions which may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes, while protected by PPE, for extended periods of time.
• May require occasional work weekends or alternate shifts to support production needs - approximately 25%

The position is full-time and located in San Francisco, CA. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
