ABOUT CHARGE Charge Robotics is a Series A startup building robots that build solar farms. Demand for new solar projects is booming (one-fifth of all the solar that exists in the US was installed last year!), but today’s construction companies can’t keep up due to limited labor resources. We thought this was insane, so we developed robots to directly address this bottleneck and speed up the world’s transition to renewables. We’ve shipped our first commercial system already, and are in the process of scaling up our operations to meet our massive demand. Charge is a fast-moving company, which means constant opportunities for learning and growth. You’ll have a large impact on the direction of our company and our product, which will be reflected in significant equity compensation. And you get to work with 🤖 giant robots 🤖. If you are excited to work on interesting technical problems with direct climate impact, you’re going to fit right in at Charge Robotics.

ABOUT THE ROLE Charge Robotics is hiring a Technical Project Manager (TPM) to own one of our most important new project: adapting our Sunrise system for a new deployment, taking it through an engineering development cycle and international field deployment. You'll be the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, commercial, and field teams — keeping a complex, multi-workstream effort on schedule and on spec from design through deployment. What you'll be working on * Own the end-to-end project plan and schedule for the engineering development and deployment effort, coordinating across commercial, leadership, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and field teams * Drive the design adaptation cycle for the new system — tracking requirements, design reviews, and milestones from concept through production readiness * Collaborate with supply chain to manage external vendors and contract manufacturers to meet timelines, deliverables, and quality requirements * Plan and coordinate international deployment logistics (freight, mobilization, and on-site readiness) in partnership with field, engineering, and customer teams * Maintain a clear view of risks, dependencies, and critical path; surface tradeoffs and keep stakeholders aligned on status and decisions You * Have 4+ years of technical program or project management experience, ideally with complex hardware systems * Have excellent organizational and communication skills, with a track record of driving alignment across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and external partners * Operate effectively amid ambiguity in the fast-paced environment of a rapidly growing startup * Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 4-5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ * Are open to travel (including international) to support manufacturing and deployment, and excited to see our robots deployed onto actual solar farms! It'd also be nice if you * Have managed international hardware deployments or worked with overseas vendors and logistics * Are familiar with one or multiple of our intersecting industries: solar, robotics, construction * Are motivated by playing a direct role in fighting climate change by accelerating the transition to renewables EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
