Technical Program Manager II

Responsibilities

• Define and execute end-to-end validation milestones, including algorithm model development, hardware testing, prototype software validation, production software readiness, and human factors evaluations.
• Drive alignment and execution across multiple interdependent workstreams—display hardware, testing, software, and architecture—ensuring dependencies are tracked and gaps are closed.
• Proactively manage hardware allocation and device availability to ensure validation timelines are met.
• Continuously assess program risks and implement mitigation plans. Maintain a living risk register with clear owners, impacts, and resolution paths.
• Coincide with engineering teams to communicate program status, including milestone readouts, validation results, risk summaries, and decision requests, to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders through regular reviews and executive summaries.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a technical program manager in hardware/software co-development programs.
• 3+ years of experience in display technology, image processing, algorithm validation, or related electro-optical systems engineering.
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-workstream programs across hardware, firmware, and software teams, with demonstrated ability to anticipate roadblocks and create a path forward.
• Experience managing programs with significant hardware dependencies, including device allocation, prototype build schedules, and test infrastructure coordination.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using data to drive decisions and assess validation readiness.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with experience presenting technical status and risk assessments to senior engineering leadership.
• Ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, fast-paced development environments with evolving requirements and tight launch timelines.
