What You'll Do
Join an engineering-driven manufacturer of thermal controls and circuit protection used in small motors, appliances, battery packs, and similar applications. As the Technical Product Manager, you'll be the internal subject-matter expert who ties engineering, quality, production, and sales together to deliver reliable, cost-effective products.

• Own the product portfolio as the in-house "guru" for capabilities and specifications
• Lead cross-functional projects spanning product design, materials conformance, quality improvement/assurance, and compliance
• Translate customer and sales requests into clear requirements and practical, manufacturable solutions
• Generate production documentation-work instructions, corrective actions, and reports-in MS Office and ERP (Syteline)
• Support regulatory and quality reporting (e.g., ISO, RoHS, NEC) and assist with audits and documentation readiness
• Troubleshoot product and production issues, collaborating closely with engineering and operations
• Advise sales/marketing on feasibility ("Can we do this?") and speak with customers as a technical resource
• Shepherd design changes across supply chain, production planning, and shop floor execution to protect quality and cost efficiency

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in mechanical/electrical design or testing within a manufacturing environment
• Proven success planning and managing design, quality, and production projects across multiple locations
• Demonstrated ability to write clear work instructions and related manufacturing documentation
• Proficiency with Word, Excel, Outlook, and ERP (Syteline)
• Working knowledge of ISO, RoHS, NEC or comparable quality/safety standards
• Strong communicator who can collaborate with leadership, production, engineering, and customers
• Backgrounds that tend to fit: Quality Engineer/Manager, Project Manager, or Product Manager

Preferred

• Associate's degree or higher in Engineering (experience is weighed most heavily)

A Day in This Role
You'll start your day aligning with production and engineering on priorities, then move into hands-on problem solving-reviewing test data, refining a work instruction with a supervisor, or closing a corrective action. In the afternoon, you might join a sales call to vet a custom request, translate it into specs, and map the path from prototype through production. Expect a mix of desk work, shop-floor collaboration, and conversations with leaders who value practical, data-driven decisions.

Culture & Environment
This is a high-accountability, team-first setting that values precision and follow-through. People who thrive here are organized, comfortable switching between the office and plant floor, and take pride in product reliability and customer responsiveness.
