What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end program execution for assigned Nodes, Modules, or Platform initiatives.
- 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 deployment processes for our Hybrid Fab environment 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 You’ll Need
- 5 (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 Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
Nice to Have
- Experience with semiconductor tools, robotics hardware, factory automation, or aerospace systems.
- Experience driving reliability growth, scaling readiness, and manufacturing release processes.
Compensation: Salary Range $180,000—$250,000 USD, plus equity and benefits.
