This is a unique opportunity to apply your technical breadth and program leadership skills to a mission‑driven company with world‑changing technology.

What You’ll Do

• Own the entire product delivery and validation cycle, driving the program from initial concept through to successful launch and commercialization.
• Define, manage, and execute highly technical workstreams across systems architecture, electrical engineering, firmware, and software, ensuring seamless integration and alignment.
• Develop and enforce the Product Development Process (PDP), establishing best practices for product validation and documentation across the organization.
• Proactively identify and strategically mitigate program risks and dependencies, anticipating challenges and defining solutions that impact both technical and business outcomes.
• Facilitate key technical and strategic decisions, bringing together engineering and executive stakeholders to drive alignment and maintain program momentum.
• Serve as a key technical resource and mentor for other program managers and engineers, sharing best practices and elevating the entire team’s capabilities.

What You’ll Bring

• 12+ years of experience in a technical program management role with a focus on hardware product development.
• Extensive experience managing complex programs with a combination of systems architecture, electrical engineering, and firmware/software components.
• Deep expertise in the Product Development Process (PDP), with a proven track record of successful product validation and delivery.
• A systems‑level generalist mindset and the ability to quickly establish credibility and influence with technical leaders across different disciplines.
• Exceptional communication and executive presence, with the ability to articulate complex technical information and strategic recommendations to all levels of the organization.
• Proven ability to lead autonomously in an ambiguous environment, defining a clear path forward and driving results without direct supervision.
