About

Responsibilities
End-to-End Ownership:
Lead the hardware development schedule from initial architecture and prototyping through validation, industrialization, and production ramp.
Program Planning:
Create and maintain comprehensive program plans, Gantt charts, and action trackers across all active hardware subsystems (actuators, electronics, structures, and sensors).
Metric Tracking:
Monitor and report on key program metrics—including cost, mass, reliability, and performance—against the schedule, while communicating status, blockers, and risks to leadership.
Risk Mitigation:
Identify and elevate technical and supply chain risks early, leading rapid reaction plans to keep programs on track.
Cross-Functional Alignment:
Coordinate across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software teams to align design milestones, integration timelines, and test readiness.
Supply Chain Collaboration:
Partner with supply chain, supplier industrialization, and contract manufacturers to ensure parts and assemblies are delivered on time and to specification.
Configuration Management:
Drive rigorous design reviews, change control processes, and BOM accuracy across all subsystems to ensure documentation is efficient and precise.
Validation & Testing:
Support the planning and execution of Design Validation Testing (DVT) and Production Validation Testing (PVT) across all hardware subsystems.
Qualifications
Educational Background:
Bachelor’s degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, or a related field) or equivalent practical experience.
Industry Experience:
5+ years of experience in technical program management for complex hardware products (e.g., robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace).
Proven Track Record:
Demonstrated success in shipping physical products from initial concept through mass production.
Technical Depth:
Strong technical fundamentals with the ability to engage meaningfully in mechanical, electrical, and firmware design discussions without requiring translation.
System Complexity:
Experience managing programs involving electromechanical systems with multiple interdependent subsystems (motors, PCBAs, sensors, structural assemblies).
NPI Mastery:
Familiarity with New Product Introduction (NPI) processes, including tooling qualification, PPAP, DVT/PVT, and first-article inspections.
Manufacturing Engagement:
Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and global suppliers on industrialization and production readiness.
Execution & Ownership:
High sense of urgency, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven by an "engineering curiosity" to understand how the entire system works.
