Controls & Software Technical Program Manager

TAE Power Solutions (TPS) is the electrification spin-off from TAE Technologies, a leader in nuclear fusion technology. The company is leveraging unique power management technology originally developed for nuclear fusion and applying it in adjacent industries including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and DC Fast Charging for electric vehicles.

About the Role

The Technical Program Management team exists to ensure disciplined, cross-functional execution across product development and customer delivery programs. The team provides structured program governance, integrates work across all cross functional teams, and drives visibility into schedules, risks, and dependencies.

The TPM function enables the organization to translate product strategy and engineering outputs into executable programs, ensuring prototypes, new product introductions, and customer deployments progress predictably from concept through delivery.

By establishing consistent program frameworks, milestone accountability, and proactive risk management, the team helps reduce execution gaps, accelerate product readiness, and support the company’s ability to scale innovation and customer deployments.

As the company scales product development and customer deployments, we are expanding the Technical Program Management capability to strengthen cross-functional execution across both internal product development and external program delivery.

This role leads technical program execution for the software, controls, data integration, and analytics capabilities supporting Energy Storage Systems (ESS). As the central program integrator across Software Engineering, Controls Engineering, Data/Cloud, and field execution teams, it coordinates development, integration, testing, release, and deployment of solutions spanning Data Bridge, cloud infrastructure, Control Console, control analytics, and ESS and customer system interfaces. In short, the role itself aligns deliverables, dependencies, and customer requirements to schedule, provides visibility into readiness, risks, defects, and release commitments, and ensures solutions are reliable, scalable across customer sites. while functional teams (Engineering/ Operations/ Services) retain ownership of architecture, implementation, and technical decisions.

Role Attributes

• Technically oriented program leader: Understands software, controls, data flows, and system integration sufficiently to coordinate complex technical programs.

• Systems thinker: Understands how ESS hardware, real-time controls, edge devices, cloud services, analytics, and customer interfaces work together.

• Execution focused: Drives milestones, dependencies, integration plans, risks, decisions, and release commitments to closure.

• Cross-functional integrator: Aligns software, controls, testing, and field teams without requiring direct authority over each function.

• Customer and deployment focused: Connects customer use cases and field requirements to technical deliverables and deployment readiness.

• Analytical and data driven: Uses defect trends, test results, telemetry, and program metrics to identify risks and improve execution.

• Proactive problem solver: Anticipates interface issues, integration gaps, performance concerns, and dependencies across software and hardware.

• Quality minded: Emphasizes test coverage, regression validation, release discipline, traceability, and operational reliability.

• Adaptable and collaborative: Operates effectively in a developing product environment where requirements, interfaces, and architectures may evolve.
