Job description

Hardware Development Project Manager — Electronics

Compensation: Up to approximately $150K base

Citizenship: U.S. citizenship required due to ITAR/customer requirements

I’m recruiting for a smaller, established engineering-driven manufacturer in Boca Raton that designs and builds high-performance electronic imaging and camera systems used in aerospace, defense, and other demanding applications.

This is not a traditional PMO role.

The company is looking for someone who can take ownership of 2–3 hardware development projects and drive execution across engineering, procurement, suppliers, testing, manufacturing, and leadership.

The priority order is straightforward:

• Strong project/program management capability
• Electronics hardware project experience
• Aerospace/defense experience is preferred, but not required

You do not need to be the electrical engineer designing the board yourself, but you should be comfortable working around electronics development and understand the realities of moving hardware from concept through prototype, testing, supplier execution, and production.

Relevant backgrounds may include:

• Hardware Project Manager
• Electronics Program Manager
• NPD/NPI Program Manager
• Technical Program Manager with hardware experience
• Electrical/Electronics Engineer who moved into project leadership

Strong candidates should have experience with areas such as:

• Electronics or embedded hardware development
• PCB/PCBA development and prototype builds
• BOMs and component availability
• NPD/NPI
• Contract manufacturers and suppliers
• Engineering schedules, milestones, dependencies, and critical path
• Manufacturing readiness and production launch
• Cross-functional leadership across engineering and operations

This company is approximately 50 employees, so the environment requires someone who can operate independently, make reasonable decisions, and keep projects moving without a large support organization around them.

Important: This position is onsite in Boca Raton five days per week. U.S. citizenship is required due to ITAR/customer requirements.
