Job Description

Lunar Energy was founded to transition homes to 100% clean energy—making our electricity greener, our air cleaner and our energy more safe, secure and reliable for all. We’re a fast-growing, global company building the world’s best clean energy products to electrify all homes and connect communities to form clean, resilient virtual power plants.

The Mission: Lunar Energy was founded to make energy cleaner, safer, and more reliable. We build products for home electrification to move the world towards a 100% clean energy future. We are a team of builders and doers challenging the status quo to bring a renewable, all-electric future to homes everywhere.

The Role: As a Technical Program Manager for Power Electronics, you won't just manage schedules; you will own the end-to-end execution of complex, industry-defining engineering programs from initial concept through volume manufacturing.

  • Drive Execution: Own the full lifecycle planning, scheduling, and execution of mission-critical power electronics programs, ensuring aggressive company milestones are met.
  • Lead Cross-Functionally: Act as the central nervous system connecting engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and product quality teams. Influence and align diverse global teams to resolve roadblocks without needing direct authority.
  • Navigate Technical Complexity: Drive rigorous technical discussions, guide design trade-offs, and lead technical design reviews to ensure robust performance and manufacturability.
  • Proactive Risk Management: Anticipate bottlenecks before they happen. Develop robust mitigation strategies and ensure clear communication regarding budget, resource usage, and team availability.
  • Scale for Production: Coordinate onsite prototype and early-stage production builds with contract manufacturers, rapidly identifying and resolving issues to accelerate time-to-market.
  • Continuous Optimization: Relentlessly identify opportunities to optimize workflows, enhance technical designs, and drive overall operational efficiency.

What You Bring:

  • Education: BS or MS degree in an Engineering discipline or equivalent practical experience.
  • Domain Expertise: 3-5+ years of hands-on program management experience specifically in power electronics, PCBA design, development, or hardware systems engineering.
  • Proven Track Record: Demonstrated success in taking complex, multi-disciplinary technical programs from concept to high-volume production.
  • Strategic Problem Solver: Exceptional critical thinking and decision-making skills with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Exceptional Communicator: Ability to distill complex technical challenges into clear, actionable insights for engineering teams, external vendors, and executive leadership.
  • Mission-Driven: A deep passion for accelerating the adoption of renewables and improving our energy infrastructure
