Job summary

Neurophos Inc. in Austin, TX is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to own execution across our software organization. Software leads hardware; firmware, compilers, runtime, and tooling must be ready before silicon and optics arrive, built against virtual platforms and emulation.

You will run ceremonies, surface risks, and drive them to closure with data-driven forecasts that inform management and product decisions. This role is onsite.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience in technical program management.
• Experience with semiconductor, systems, or hardware companies where software ships alongside physical product.
• Familiarity with compiler, runtime, or firmware development programs. Experience with cloud software development/deployment is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience deploying SCRUM in a hybrid scrum-fall environment, where agile software delivery must align with waterfall hardware or program milestones.
• Proven track record running agile ceremonies and generating forward-looking forecasts of completion and risk.
• Hands-on proficiency with modern engineering planning and tracking tools (Jira, Linear, or equivalent), including configuring workflows and building reporting that engineers trust and actually use.

Responsibilities

• Operate SCRUM inside a hybrid scrum-fall program structure, keeping software delivery ahead of hardware availability rather than gated by it.
• Build and maintain forward-looking completion forecasts with explicit confidence levels and stated assumptions, rather than status snapshots of work already done.
• Run agile ceremonies for software teams and keep them useful rather than ritualistic.
• Track and report how far ahead software is running relative to hardware, and treat any erosion of that lead as a first-order program risk.
• Identify, quantify, and elevate schedule and technical risk early, and drive it to resolution with named owners and dates.
• Maintain program-level planning artifacts and reporting that engineers trust and leadership can act on.
• Manage cross-team dependencies across software, hardware, and cloud, and make the critical path visible to everyone on it.
