Requirements

• 7-10 years of technical program management or related experience supporting complex hardware or connected-device programs.

• Experience helping deliver at least two hardware programs through development, validation, manufacturing readiness, and launch.

• Strong technical aptitude across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, validation, manufacturing, and supply-chain dependencies.

• Experience managing schedules, critical paths, RAID and decision logs, action trackers, change control, and multiple workstreams.

• Experience coordinating prototype or production builds, supplier deliverables, material readiness, testing, defect resolution, and manufacturing handoffs.

• Persistent follow-through, strong documentation, and the confidence to challenge unclear status, drive closure, and escalate risks early.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including concise program updates, decision documents, and executive escalations.

• Demonstrated use of AI tools to improve productivity, analysis, documentation, or communication.

• Experience with contract manufacturers, ODMs, or international suppliers is preferred, not required

• Bachelors Degree required - engineering or other technical degree is preferred
