Engineering Program Lead: Hardware & Software Delivery

Roboticsconnected; Pennsylvania; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Roboticsconnected is seeking an execution-focused leader to own the development program framework for multi-disciplinary programs. You will coordinate milestones, risks, dependencies, and release objectives across hardware and software domains, ensuring alignment with leadership decisions and funding.

You will partner with Product Owners and Engineering Leads to translate priorities into executable schedules, drive gates, and monitor progress against the plan.

Qualifications

• 7+ years running complex engineering development programs, including integrated hardware and software.
• Experience with integrated master schedules, critical path analysis, and formal risk management.
• Experience delivering a physical product through release, not just a software release train.
• Ability to hold a room of senior engineers to a commitment through credibility rather than reporting lines.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the integrated development plan for assigned programs: milestones, critical path, dependencies, and release objectives.
• Translate product priorities from Product Owners and Engineering Leads into an executable schedule the whole organization can work from.
• Run the risk and issue process. Surface risks early, drive mitigation, escalated the ones that need a leadership decision.
• Drive release readiness across engineering, manufacturing, software release management, technical documentation, training, and field support.
• Own development budget tracking against plan and flag cost, schedule, or resource impacts before they become surprises.
• Facilitate program reviews and readiness gates. Close action items.
• Deliver monthly program health reporting to executive leadership: progress, schedule, budget, risks, and decisions pending.
• Find and remove the things blocking engineering from shipping.
