Technical Program Manager

We are looking for an individual who wants to work on a business that is growing at a rapid pace. We are a team that brings out consumer electronics from the concept stage to final delivery to end customers. We are critical part of product management and hardware development process and are accountable for successful product launches and ongoing support.

The Technical Program Manager (Sr. TPM) will collaborate with internal and external engineering teams to conceive and design innovative consumer products. Throughout this process TPM will need to work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Industrial Design, Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Reliability and Operations.

The individual must demonstrate technical leadership to:

Lead mechanical and manufacturing engineering workstreams team through product investigation, architecture, concept development, design, and validation.

Ensure engineering best practices and internal development processes are followed for all aspects of the end-product, including mechanical design and analysis, component evaluation and selection, design reviews, prototyping, characterization, testing, and productization.

Work with the team to define and execute component, sub-system and full product test plans as needed to ensure robust engineering design.

Partner with cross-functional teams including industrial design, mechanical engineering, software, test, integration, reliability, compliance/regulatory, verification, qualification, manufacturing, program management, etc.

You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and get the job done.
