About the Job

Our core technology is the Node, a device that produces energy in the ocean's harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention. We've proven we can design and build these Nodes in small quantities, and we are now designing our first production line. As a Senior Technical Program Manager at Panthalassa, you will help coordinate the development and deployment of our cutting-edge ocean energy Nodes through the R&D and pilot phases. Working under the guidance of the Lead TPM, you'll manage schedules, facilitate cross-functional alignment, and support pilot manufacturing activities—playing a key role in scaling our hardware programs from prototype to production.

Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to thrive in a creative, scrappy, and collaborative environment in which the best ideas change the company's direction on a regular basis.

Our team of 70 includes team members who have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing, Tesla, Apple, Virgin Orbit, Astra, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries. We strive to be the best engineering team on the planet and we compensate our team members accordingly.
