Applications Engineer Program Manager

Description:

If you want a role where you’re the technical brain, the customer whisperer, and the product owner all in one… this is it. Qnergy is looking for an Applications Engineer Program Manager who knows how to translate messy real-world conditions into engineered solutions that actually work, reliably, repeatedly, and at scale.

This is the connective-tissue role between customers, engineering, manufacturing, and the field. You’ll shape how our systems are configured, deployed, supported, and evolved. If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast without breaking things that matter, and love being the person everyone calls because you always know what’s going on... let’s talk.

- Own your product portfolio: requirements, specs, documentation, revision control. essentially the whole lifecycle.

- Partner with Engineering and Manufacturing to drive design updates, reliability improvements, and cost reductions.

- Build and maintain the documentation backbone: manuals, datasheets, BOMs, and drawings.
