Project Manager – Solid State Transformer (SST) Deployments

Responsibilities:

Project Leadership & Execution

• Lead day-to-day execution of SST deployment projects at pilot sites, ensuring safety, quality, schedule, and scope objectives are met.

• Manage the full project lifecycle — from planning and site readiness through installation, integration, testing, and commissioning.

• Maintain detailed project plans, deliverables, and milestones aligned with program-level objectives.

• Coordinate site activities across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, vendor partners, and customer teams to ensure seamless execution.

• Drive effective issue resolution by tracking gaps, dependencies, and technical challenges encountered during deployment.

Pilot Site Engagement & Post-Deployment Support

• Serve as the primary operational contact for pilot site stakeholders, ensuring transparent communication and timely updates.

• Oversee on-site system validation, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting during initial operational phases.

• Coordinate internal teams to deliver post-deployment support, including bug fixes, firmware updates, and performance improvements.

• Document learnings, site feedback, failure modes, and improvement opportunities to inform future deployments and product iterations.

Agile Project Support

• Support Agile execution within engineering and deployment teams, including sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily standups, and sprint demos.

• Translate site needs and deployment issues into clear Agile user stories with defined acceptance criteria.

• Maintain traceability between field issues, engineering actions, and sprint deliverables.

• Ensure project status, risks, and progress are clearly communicated within the Agile framework.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Partner closely with the Program Manager to align project timelines, priorities, resources, and risk mitigation plans.

• Collaborate with supply chain and operations to ensure materials readiness, delivery schedules, and vendor coordination remain on track.

• Support engineering teams in system integration, test planning, and execution of site-specific configurations.

• Maintain documentation including deployment procedures, site checklists, risk logs, test reports, and post-deployment summaries.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Project Management, or a related technical discipline; or equivalent practical experience.

• 3+ years of experience managing technical, field-execution, or hardware deployment projects.

• Strong understanding of electrical systems, industrial installations, or power-related technologies (experience with power electronics is a plus).

• Demonstrated success coordinating cross-functional teams in fast-paced, high-complexity environments.

• Experience working within Agile frameworks (Scrum or Kanban) and supporting Agile execution.

• Excellent communication skills — verbal, written, and visual — with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Ability and willingness to travel to pilot sites (10–20%, depending on project phase).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in EV charging, power electronics, renewable energy, industrial power, or utilities.

• Familiarity with system commissioning, site acceptance testing (SAT), and field troubleshooting.

• Certifications such as PMP, CSM, or equivalent Agile/Project Management credentials.

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
