ROLE DESCRIPTION
Form Energy is seeking a powerhouse Staff Program Manager to serve as the primary orchestrator for our global supply chain as we enter our defining 2026 Launch Year. You will report directly to the VP of Supply Chain and serve as the interface between Engineering, Operations, Advanced Manufacturing, Finance, and the Executive PMO. You are responsible for driving plan creation, aligning the players, and ensuring the flawless execution of a complex, multi-gigawatt manufacturing supply chain. You are uncomfortable with the status quo and are constantly looking for ways to automate the mundane so you can tackle the next big bottleneck.
Relocation assistance is available.
What you'll do:
- Orchestrate the Launch & Ramp: Own the end-to-end supply chain execution plan for launch and scale up.
- You will drive excellence across workstreams, ensuring that Manufacturing Operations and Engineering are in perfect lockstep with sourcing strategies.
- Collaborate closely with your Supply Chain team members, including Global Supply Managers, Supplier Industrialization Engineers, Material Planners, and Logistics Managers across all commodities on behalf of Supply Chain leadership.
- Strategic Scenario Modeling: Design and execute complex supply/demand scenarios to inform ramp scenarios, identifying bottlenecks in raw materials or CAPEX long before they impact the line.
- Make vs. Buy Engineering: Develop comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models. You will work with cross-functional leaders to develop the "source-of-truth" recommendations to the executive team on whether we vertically integrate or partner with our global supply base.
- Drive the Product Development Process (PDP): Establish and enforce best practices for supply chain readiness within the PDP, ensuring that every component and supplier is qualified and ready for commercial scale.
- AI-Accelerated Workflows: Leverage AI and LLM tools to automate workflows.
- Executive Interface: Facilitate key technical and strategic decisions, bringing together engineering and executive stakeholders to maintain program momentum and solve "unsolvable" bottlenecks.
What you'll bring:
- 7+ years of experience in Program Management, Supply Chain, or Manufacturing Operations within a high-growth hardware environment (EV, Aerospace, or Robotics).
- Proficient knowledge of technical requirements, designs and manufacturing processes of energy products and be able to influence cross-functional partners with detailed analysis that supports optimized process and product sourcing decisions.
- Experience with mechanical engineering concepts related to the commodity and ability to generate bottom-up should costs based on the understanding of the manufacturing process.
- Technical & commercial understanding of tooling and manufacturing processes on metal forming.
- Executive Presence: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate complex technical risks and strategic recommendations to the VP and Executive Team.
- You thrive in high-intensity “launch year” conditions, operating effectively amid ambiguity, making decisions with imperfect information, and driving progress where urgency is constant and impact is lasting.
- Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, Engineering, Program Management, or similar discipline.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Program Manager Jobs at Form Energy Jobs
Frame your hardware PM credentials precisely
Form Energy's program management work spans battery cell development, manufacturing scale-up, and supply chain coordination. Tailor your resume to show experience managing hardware or energy technology programs, not just software or general operations, before you apply.
Search Form Energy's sponsored openings on Migrate Mate
Filter Program Manager roles at Form Energy by your visa type on Migrate Mate to see only positions where sponsorship aligns with your status, saving time you'd otherwise spend vetting individual listings manually.
Start OPT timing conversations early with HR
If you're on F-1 OPT with a STEM extension, raise your authorization end date in the offer stage, not after signing. Form Energy's hardware programs have multi-year timelines, so confirming an H-1B cap-subject petition is on the table before your OPT expires matters.
Verify your LCA covers your actual work location
Program Managers at hardware companies often split time between offices and manufacturing sites. DOL requires a Labor Condition Application that reflects where you'll physically work. Confirm with your hiring contact whether your role involves any site-based work outside the primary listed location.
Build a specialty occupation paper trail early
USCIS scrutinizes H-1B petitions for program management roles closely. Collect documentation showing your degree field directly relates to the technical scope of the role, such as engineering, systems management, or materials science, before your employer files Form I-129.

Find Program Manager at Form Energy JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Form Energy sponsor H-1B visas for Program Managers?
Yes, Form Energy sponsors H-1B visas for Program Manager roles. Because these positions typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in a technical field related to the work, they generally meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard. Your employer will need to file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL and submit Form I-129 to USCIS on your behalf.
How do I apply for Program Manager jobs at Form Energy?
Applications go through Form Energy's careers page, where you can filter open Program Manager listings by location and team. You can also find Form Energy's sponsored Program Manager roles filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate, which helps you confirm upfront that a role supports your specific sponsorship situation before you invest time applying.
Which visa types does Form Energy commonly use for Program Manager roles?
Form Energy sponsors H-1B and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-term hires, along with F-1 OPT and CPT for early-career candidates and TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional categories. The right visa type depends on your nationality, degree field, and where you are in your career.
What qualifications does Form Energy expect for Program Manager roles?
Form Energy's Program Manager roles typically require a technical bachelor's degree, with engineering, materials science, or manufacturing backgrounds commonly aligned to the work. Experience managing cross-functional hardware programs, coordinating with supply chain teams, or overseeing manufacturing scale-up is more relevant here than general business program management experience.
How do I think about timing when pursuing H-1B sponsorship at Form Energy?
USCIS opens H-1B cap registration each March for an October 1 start date, so an offer made in winter or spring aligns most cleanly with that cycle. If you're on F-1 OPT when you receive an offer, confirm your authorization covers the gap between your start date and October 1, and discuss whether Form Energy will file for cap-gap protection if needed.
