Regular Full-Time R & D Milpitas, CA, US

We know touch - it's our only business. In fact, we invented the touchscreen over 50 years ago and haven't stopped since. Every 21 seconds, a new Elo touch screen is installed somewhere in the world. We obsess over details to exceed the highest quality standards. We don’t just sell things. We offer solutions to tomorrow’s challenges.

Elo is seeking a dedicated Project Manager, Security to drive Elo Software Engineering's execution of Project Aegis, a 16-initiative enterprise security program running concurrently across five engineering teams, alongside Elo's regulatory and software assurance commitments. This role is the dedicated driver of that work: it exists so that security execution does not depend on the spare cycles of engineering leads already carrying the product roadmap.

Job Purpose & Responsibilities:

Program Management — Project Aegis

• Own end-to-end program management of Elo's execution against the various security initiatives and ensure Elo’s security posture is kept up to date.
• Maintain the master program plan: scope, milestones, dependencies, and critical path across all initiatives and the engineering teams they touch
• Own the two-week reporting cadence into the enterprise security dashboard, delivering accurate and on-time status without diverting engineering leads
• Track cross-initiative dependencies and sequencing — for example, CI/CD consolidation preceding zero-tolerance gate enforcement — and elevate slippage early
• Maintain the Aegis project in Jira as the single source of truth for initiative status, ownership, deliverables, and dependencies
• Drive each initiative to a named Elo point of contact, defined deliverables, and an agreed date
• Serve as Elo's primary program interface to the named enterprise initiative owners across Enterprise Security, Product Security, IT, and the Software Engineering Tools & Platform team
• Coordinate Elo points of contact and SMEs for each initiative's discovery effort, ensuring active partnership with initiative owners to define scope and resolve edge cases

• Translate enterprise requirements into Elo-specific deliverables, and surface gaps where enterprise scope does not yet cover Elo platforms or systems

Regulatory & Software Assurance Programs

• Manage the OWASP SAMM assessment program through to external audit, coordinating evidence collection and remediation across engineering functions
• Assist with PCI Secure Software Framework (PCI-SSF) assessment activities, including documentation delivery
• Support product certification programs (EU RED cybersecurity / EN 18031 and related), tracking findings to closure across engineering teams
• Maintain a consolidated compliance calendar of regulatory and audit deadlines across all programs
• Work with engineering leads to prioritize security work alongside existing product roadmaps
• Surface trade-offs, capacity constraints, and resource asks to leadership with clear options and impact — before they become schedule risk
• Maintain program-level risk and issue registers, and drive items to closure
• Track remediation and security debt reduction at program level, reporting trend and completion against target
• Facilitate working sessions between engineering leads and initiative owners to surface automation and AI-enabled approaches to security workload

Communication & Governance

• Produce executive-level program status for Elo and enterprise leadership
• Run recurring program governance meetings, ensuring decisions and actions are recorded and owned
• Translate technical and regulatory detail for business stakeholders, and business priorities for engineering teams
• Other reasonable directives, responsibilities, and activities may change or be assigned at any time with or without notice

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or a related field
• At least 5 years of project or program management experience in a technology organization, with a minimum of one year in the security space
• Demonstrated experience running multi-team programs against externally imposed deadlines (regulatory, audit, or customer commitments)
• Proficiency with Jira and standard project management tooling
• Strong written communication, with the ability to produce executive-level reporting independently

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience managing security, compliance, or audit programs
• Familiarity with one or more of: OWASP SAMM, EU CRA, PCI-SSF, ISO 27001, NIST, or IEC 62443
• PMP, PMI-ACP, Certified ScrumMaster, or equivalent certification
• Experience operating in a post-acquisition environment where a parent company sets enterprise guardrails and the business unit owns execution
• Experience with cloud platform and/or connected-device product organizations
• Proficiency in Agile and Scrum delivery methodologies
• Advanced degree

Specific Professional Skills/Competencies:

• Ability to drive accountability and deliverables across teams without direct authority
• Sufficient technical depth to hold credible conversations with security and platform engineers, and to challenge dates and dependencies
• Strong dependency management across concurrent workstreams and competing priorities
• Highly organized under multiple simultaneous deadlines, with disciplined follow-through on actions and evidence
• Clear, concise executive communication — able to reduce a complex program to the decisions leadership needs to make
• Proactive risk identification, with a bias toward early escalation over late surprise
• Demonstrated business ethics and a professional demeanor, leading by example

Physical Demands:

• Ability to lift up to OSHA single person lift requirements
• Ability to sit, stand, bend, or walk for prolonged periods of time
• Ability to use a computer
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally, if required
• Must be able to work a standard full-time schedule
