Job Description:

Etched is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead board-level New Product Introduction (NPI), contract manufacturer (CM) execution, and manufacturing coordination for our ASIC-based accelerator hardware. This role is responsible for driving PCBAs and board assemblies from late design through EVT/DVT/PVT, ramp, and volume production, in close partnership with internal hardware engineering teams and external CMs. You will own execution across board-level programs, including accelerator boards, power delivery boards, and associated subassemblies, ensuring designs are manufacturable, testable, and scalable. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain, with a strong focus on CM alignment, build readiness, and disciplined NPI execution.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead board-level NPI programs from design freeze through EVT, DVT, PVT, and volume ramp, with clear ownership of schedules, risks, and deliverables
  • Serve as the primary interface to contract manufacturers for PCBA and board assembly, driving build planning, execution, and issue resolution
  • Drive manufacturing readiness reviews with engineering and CMs, including DFM/DFA, test strategy, and factory bring-up
  • Coordinate CM activities across PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, test, and final board integration
  • Manage BOM readiness, AVL qualification, and component sourcing in partnership with supply chain and CMs
  • Own change management during NPI, including ECO tracking, revision control, and communication of changes to manufacturing partners
  • Plan and execute prototype, pilot, and production builds, tracking yield, defects, and corrective actions through ramp
  • Identify manufacturing risks related to design, process, or supply chain
  • develop mitigation plans and drive closure
  • Establish and track KPIs for board-level manufacturing, including yield, first-pass success, cycle time, and quality escapes
  • Coordinate closely with system, thermal, and mechanical teams to ensure board-level requirements are aligned with system integration and deployment
  • Provide clear, regular program updates to engineering leadership and executives, highlighting risks, tradeoffs, and decisions
  • Continuously improve board-level NPI and CM engagement processes to support faster iteration and scalable production

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in technical program management, hardware NPI, or manufacturing program leadership for PCBAs or complex electronic assemblies
  • Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers for board-level builds, including EVT/DVT/PVT and volume production
  • Strong understanding of PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, board-level test, and manufacturing quality systems
  • Experience managing cross-functional hardware programs involving EE, PD, SI, test, supply chain, and operations
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high technical and executional complexity
  • Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to align internal teams and external manufacturing partners
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
  • $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
  • Housing subsidy of $2k per month for those living within walking distance of the office
  • Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
