Full Job Description

## Description About Range Energy Range Energy builds powered trailers that help electrify heavy-duty trucking without requiring fleets to replace their tractors. We solve real-world problems with real hardware.   We move fast, take ownership, and hold a high bar for execution. We value people who are low ego and team-first, calm under pressure, direct and respectful communicators, willing to roll up their sleeves, and focused on solutions, not drama.   We operate with high integrity. We do what we say we’ll do, we’re transparent about risks and tradeoffs, and we build trust through consistent follow-through.   The work is hands-on. Sometimes messy. Often fast. Always meaningful.   Founded in 2021, Range is led by experienced EV operators from Tesla, Zoox, Honda, and other leading OEMs. We are backed by strong investors and focused on building hardware that fleets will actually use.   If you like building real things, solving hard problems, and working with low drama, high output teammates, you will fit here. Role Summary We are hiring a Sr. Technical Program Manager to own our Asia supplier relationships end-to-end. This is a high-visibility, high-accountability role at the intersection of hardware development, supply chain, and NPI execution. You will be the primary interface between Range's engineering teams and our Asia-based suppliers — spanning high-voltage harnesses, battery systems, power electronics, and electromechanical assemblies.   Success requires deep hardware fluency, the ability to hold suppliers accountable to schedule and quality without sacrificing relationships, and the operational discipline to keep complex multi-tier programs on track. This is not a coordination-only role — you will be expected to understand the technical content, identify risk early, and drive resolution. ## Responsibilities • Own the supplier relationship and program execution for key Asia-based suppliers (e.g., High Voltage Distribution and Power Electronics). • Drive on-ti
