Technical Program Manager, drive unit and actuators
About ALSO.
We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.
In this role, you will be a member of Also’s Technical Program Management team, responsible for driving the drive unit and actuator modules end to end from concept/proto development phase through mass production. You will partner with product, mechanical, electrical, firmware, test, supply chain, industrial design, and other cross-functional teams to drive product development in consumer-facing products.
What You Will Do
- As a Technical Program Manager, you’ll use your product development expertise to lead multi-disciplinary hardware projects from start to finish: managing drive unit programs from architecture and prototyping through validation, industrialization and production ramp.
- You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify and manage risks early leading to rapid reaction plans to keep the program on track, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.
- Drive the planning and implementation of customer features with the cross-functional teams to hit roadmap goals, tracking progress, while communicating status, blockers, and risks to leadership.
- Develop and manage comprehensive program schedules via Gantt charts, technical issues, design release management, certification, manufacturing, and resource needs with engineering, supply chain, and cross-functional teams.
- Identify and solve the top program blockers and adapt lean processes to the organization.
