As a Technical Program Manager for Hardware NPI you’ll drive execution across cross-functional teams spanning mechanical design, embedded systems, controls, and manufacturing operations. This is a high-ownership, mission-critical role with visibility across the entire hardware product lifecycle—from prototype through scaled deployment. You will manage the introduction of complex robotic systems into production, define and enforce rigorous development and manufacturing milestones, and ensure seamless coordination across internal engineering and external supply chain partners. This role is ideal for a TPM with deep technical fluency, comfort in ambiguity, and a proven track record delivering high-stakes, multidisciplinary hardware programs.
Job Responsibility:
Own and drive complex hardware and autonomy programs from concept to production, with cross-functional scope across mechanical, electrical, GNC, and firmware systems
Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts, managing build plans, integration milestones, and transfer to contract manufacturing
Serve as the central node for coordinating design, manufacturing, validation, and supplier execution across multiple internal and external teams
Define and track program timelines, critical paths, and risk mitigation strategies across all technical disciplines
Partner with engineering leads to ensure technical decisions align with schedule and manufacturing constraints
Communicate program status, risks, and decisions to stakeholders at both engineering and executive levels
Help build robust manufacturing plans, including DFM/DFA alignment, pilot builds, and supply chain readiness
Requirements:
7+ years of experience in hardware program management, with a track record of delivering complex electromechanical or robotics systems into production
Deep understanding of hardware product development processes, including PLM, PDP, and NPI methodologies
Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers, from early development builds through to high-volume production
Familiarity with a range of manufacturing processes including PCBA (SMT), injection molding, die casting, and complex system integration
Excellent technical fluency, capable of facilitating trade-offs and understanding implications across ME, EE, firmware, and controls domains
Strong organizational skills with an ability to manage multiple workstreams, dependencies, and cross-functional stakeholders
Exceptional communication and reporting skills
able to deliver clarity and alignment in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
A Bachelor’s or higher degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
Nice to have:
Background in robotics, aerospace, or autonomy-focused product development
Familiarity with embedded software lifecycles and firmware-hardware integration
Experience coordinating high-reliability or safety-critical system manufacturing and validation
