Senior Technical Program Manager

Brelle•Los Alamitos, CA

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Brelle engineers a modular energy platform for the world’s most demanding machines – supercars, superbikes and aerial systems. Our innovations are built on a novel battery pack architecture, a full-stack software platform, and automated manufacturing. Joining the team means working on making electric vehicles—on the road and racetrack—lighter, more engaging and safer. As Technical Program Manager, you will drive execution across Brelle's hardware and software development programs — coordinating across battery, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to keep complex, multi-discipline workstreams on track. You'll own the program cadence, surface risks early, and develop program plans that enable robust technology development. This role requires technical fluency across hardware and software disciplines, and the organizational judgment to drive alignment across a fast-moving, multi-discipline team without adding overhead.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in technical program management in hardware-intensive environments
BS or MS in Engineering, or equivalent technical depth gained through hands-on program leadership
Direct experience managing electromechanical or powertrain development programs — ideally spanning HW, FW, and manufacturing
Strong understanding of product development processes: DFMEA, DVP&R, design release, and production validation
Comfortable engaging in technical discussions around schematics, CAD, and technical specifications
Experience in automotive, aerospace, motorsport, or other high-performance environments with tight timelines and high intensity

Nice To Haves

Fundamentally Curious – You break complex problems down to first principles and are energized by hard problems worth solving at scale
A Builder of Exceptional Teams – You attract world-class talent, set exceptionally high standards, and create an environment where engineers do the best work of their careers
Autonomous and Decisive – You take ownership of ambiguity, make informed calls, and drive execution with conviction. You empower your team to do the same, creating a culture of accountability and bias for action

Responsibilities

End-to-end program planning and cross-functional coordination across battery, firmware, and vehicle integration development — from concept through production launch
Program milestones, dependencies, and critical path management across multiple concurrent programs
Risk identification and mitigation: surfacing technical and schedule risks early, driving resolution
Vendor and partner coordination: aligning external timelines (cell suppliers, contract manufacturers, customers) with internal development
Program reporting to leadership — status, decisions needed, and resource trade-offs
