Technical Program Manager, Fan Systems

About Infinitum

Infinitum is a pre-IPO climate-tech company reinventing the electric motor. We are backed by a distinguished group of strategic partners and some of the world's most influential climate funds, with strong traction in shipments and several major customer wins. The market now recognizes the value of our technology and the impact it will have on the future of the industry.

We have a world-class R&D organization, an extensive patent portfolio, and a strong leadership team scaling the company across all functions. We are headquartered in Austin, TX and operate a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico, with room for significant expansion. Increasingly, end customers are willing to pay a premium for solutions featuring "Infinitum Inside," and our OEM partners leverage that differentiation to win more deals at higher margins. In short, we've crossed the chasm — and we are now scaling our team substantially. We're looking for people who are passionate about rapid growth, eager to learn, and excited to tackle the challenges ahead.
