Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. TAE Power Solutions is an electrification company applying power management technology to battery energy storage systems and electric vehicle charging. The Senior Engineering Delivery Manager will own the internal engineering execution architecture, translating objectives into detailed work breakdowns, dependencies, deliverables, and readiness criteria while coordinating with engineering leadership and PMO. The role also drives execution cadence, configuration control, manufacturing readiness, risk management, and continuous improvement across hardware and software engineering functions.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the engineering work breakdown structure across systems, electrical, mechanical, controls, software, compliance, test, manufacturing readiness, and field readiness
- Define clear scope boundaries, handoffs, and ownership to prevent gaps and duplicated work across teams
- Create phase gate readiness criteria for key milestones such as requirements freeze, design freeze, build readiness FAT readiness, certification readiness, and release readiness
- Translate engineering changes into task level impacts and provide schedule and resourcing inputs to PMO for baseline updates
- Work directly with the Director of Engineering on task planning and scope checks, and highlight critical path risks early
- Run a recurring engineering execution cadence including weekly progress reviews, dependency reviews, and risk issue decision tracking
- Drive cross functional alignment on deliverables, sequencing, and acceptance criteria
- Design and implement operational processes to track and quantify engineering outcomes and execution efficiency
- Establish a consistent operating system for engineering execution including WBS standards, JIRA structure, engineering RAID and decision logs, and milestone readiness reviews
- Use Six Sigma CTQ to support structured trade-off decisions (scope, schedule, cost, risk) and to reduce rework and variability in engineering outputs
- Define metrics, track trends, and lead continuous operational optimization with the Director of Engineering
- Provide technical deliverable inputs and task breakdown at the level of detail required to manage dependencies and provide clean inputs to the PMO master schedule
- Build and maintain a JIRA structure that reflects the WBS and supports traceable execution, including EPICs, Stories, definitions of completed, and clear ownership
- Create concise technical executive readouts for progress, risks, decisions needed, and forecast to key milestones (with PMO)
- Establish and enforce configuration control and ECN discipline
- Provide technical oversight of contract manufacturers to ensure build quality and process adherence
- Own unit level build, test, and quality readiness prior to release to execution teams
Skills
- Extensive interdisciplinary background in BESS development, validation, certification, and manufacturing
- 7 years of direct experience with stationary BESS, power electronics, controls, and safety compliance programs
- Extensive experience leading execution planning for complex hardware and software products
- Demonstrated ability to build detailed work breakdown structures and dependency maps that stand up to robust audit and reduced execution surprises
- Advanced proficiency in MS Project and JIRA, including building structures that scale across teams and releases
- Extensive experience applying Six Sigma CTQ methods to drive engineering decisions, operational rigor, and continuous improvement
- Demonstrated ability to define CTQ, build measurable acceptance criteria, and use data to drive closure on cross-functional issues
- Strong executive communication skills, including clear status, risk framing, and decision requests
- Ability to influence without authority and drive closure across multiple functions
- Experience with large-scale BESS system integration or EPC delivery for turnkey projects, including system engineering, multiple vendor scope coordination, and commissioning handoffs
