We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead complex connected-device programs from concept and design through manufacturing and mass production.

You won't personally design every component, but you must understand the technology well enough to engage credibly with hardware and firmware engineers, identify technical risks, ask informed questions, and challenge assumptions.

You'll work across engineering teams in Carlsbad and British Columbia and with overseas ODM and manufacturing partners to drive programs from concept through EVT, DVT, PVT, NPI, manufacturing ramp, and launch.

Own schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, engineering actions, BOM readiness, build plans, and material planning.
Drive execution across hardware, firmware, RF, mechanical, industrial design, software, cloud, test, and manufacturing teams.
Participate in technical and design reviews, identify risks, challenge assumptions, and drive issues through resolution.
Manage ODMs, contract manufacturers, overseas engineering partners, and factory builds.
Coordinate engineering samples, testing, Alpha/Beta issues, build readiness, and regulatory certification.
Partner with PLM and other stakeholders on product roadmap and development planning.
5+ years of hardware technical program management, device program management, hardware engineering/program leadership, or related experience.
~ Strong technical understanding of hardware development, including PCBs/schematics, power/battery systems, firmware integration, RF, mechanical systems, and product testing.
~ Strong ownership of schedules, dependencies, technical risks, engineering builds, and issue resolution.
~ Experience working with ODMs, contract manufacturers, and overseas manufacturing partners.
~ Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Programming or scripting experience is a plus.
Mandarin language skills are a plus but not required.

This is a global hardware organization, so flexibility for occasional evening calls with teams in Asia and occasional travel is expected.
