  • Experience supporting R&D and new product introduction is required.
  • Deep technical knowledge of power electronics, industrial electrical components, PCBAs, connectors, cable assemblies, and battery or energy storage systems.
  • Hands-on circuit design, power supply design, or PCBA layout experience is a strong plus.
  • Experience evaluating and onboarding contract manufacturers for electromechanical assemblies.
  • Experience managing global manufacturing partners, negotiating contracts, and optimizing bills of materials for cost, quality, lead time, and regulatory compliance.
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced R&D environments with shifting requirements and close engineering collaboration.
  • Familiarity with compliance-driven sourcing frameworks such as FEOC, IRA/ITC, USMCA, or UL/IEC certification.
  • Strong negotiation, supplier qualification, and analytical skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40% domestically across the US and Mexico, with occasional international travel.
  • Experience in energy storage, battery, or distributed power generation is preferred.
  • Working knowledge of IRA battery sourcing requirements and FEOC country-of-origin tracing is preferred.
  • Familiarity with UL 9540, UL 1973, UL 508a, IEC 62619, or related safety certification frameworks is preferred.
  • Prior experience in a hardware startup or high-growth manufacturing environment is preferred.
