Senior Technical Program Manager

Join Range, a leading company in the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for managing supplier relationships in Asia, driving on-time delivery of parts and assemblies, and ensuring program visibility. You will engage deeply with supplier engineering teams, identify technical risks, and support DFM/DFA reviews. This role requires fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English, as well as experience in hardware-intensive industries.

• Assumer la responsabilité de la relation avec les fournisseurs en Asie et de l'exécution des programmes pour les fournisseurs clés.
• Conduire la livraison à temps des pièces et des assemblages en alignement avec les étapes de NPI, les événements de construction et les jalons de validation.
• Identifier les risques techniques dans les processus ou les conceptions des fournisseurs et conduire la résolution structurée.
• Experience with Class 8 truck/trailer systems, freight electrification, or heavy-duty vehicle programs
• 5+ years of technical program or supplier management experience in a hardware-intensive industry (automotive, EV/HEV, aerospace, industrial electronics, or similar)
• Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to write clear, structured program updates and hold productive, efficient meetings
• Comfortable traveling to supplier sites in Asia (estimated 20–30% travel, variable by program phase)
• Language Requirement: Fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English (spoken and written) is required for this position. This requirement exists because a substantial portion of this role involves direct communication with Mandarin-speaking customers/partners/stakeholders. Candidates must be able to conduct meetings, prepare written materials, and provide service in both languages
• Working knowledge of HV/EV powertrain systems, including HV batteries, power electronics, electrical distribution

• Experience driving supplier accountability through milestone gates, corrective actions, and continuous improvement — not just relationship management
• Demonstrated track record managing Asia-based suppliers — particularly in China — through NPI and into production
• Background in power electronics, battery systems, or thermal management hardware
• Experience using 3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA, or similar PLM/CAD platforms for supplier coordination workflows
• Prior work at a hardware startup or in a rapid-iteration NPI environment with limited process infrastructure
• Knowledge of export control, customs, and cross-border logistics considerations for hardware supply chains
