Lead end-to-end program execution for complex multidisciplinary products, including defining scope, milestones, and success metrics, and managing cross-functional planning and execution. | Requires 3+ years of hands-on engineering and technical leadership in hardware-software systems, with experience in mechanical systems, iterative development, and scaling manufacturing, along with a relevant engineering degree. | Why are We Hiring for this Role: Own end-to-end program execution Define scope, milestones, owners, success metrics, and delivery outcomes (time, cost, budget, change control). Lead cross-functional planning across ME, EE, Software, AI, Operations, and Leadership. Build and maintain integrated execution plans that connect strategy to daily work, dependencies, and measurable progress. Drive effective change control by framing technical tradeoffs as structured decisions with clear options, risks, and implications. Establish forecasts, measure execution against them, and improve the mechanisms that increase learning rate and reduce friction. Design and refine prototype build procedures to enable rapid design-test-learn cycles. Maintain dashboards, reviews, and reporting that provide real-time, data-driven visibility into program health. Build scalable processes to eliminate recurring challenges (integration, pilot-to-production scaling, cross-team synchronization). What Kind of person are we looking for 3 (minimum for Senior) to 10+ years spanning hands-on engineering and technical leadership (TPM, engineering management, or equivalent) on complex multidisciplinary products. Proven track record delivering integrated hardware-electronics-software systems from concept through manufacturing release. Strong technical fluency grounded in real build experience — able to recognize when a decision requires more rigor vs when to move fast. First-principles thinking with sound instincts for strategic tradeoffs (e.g., buy vs. build, specialization vs. generalization). Experience with mechanical systems involving motion, kinematics, sensing, and closed-loop control, and software for embedded or hardware-adjacent systems.Strong bias for ownership and clarity in ambiguous environments. Experience with iterative, incremental hardware development in fast-moving or startup contexts. Demonstrated ability to structure ambiguous programs — breaking them down into fundamental components, dependencies, and a fast cycle-time execution model. Strong executive presence and communication — trusted by both technical teams and leadership. High EQ and sound judgment navigating complex people dynamics across technical organizations. BS or higher in relevant engineering field, or equivalent experience Experience driving reliability growth, scaling readiness, and manufacturing release processes. Benefits We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits. Salary The annual compensation is expected to be between $150,000 - $280,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
