Technical Program Manager, Manufacturing Test

About The Role

We build the hardware behind frontier AI, and getting it into volume production reliably is a team sport. We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive our manufacturing test programs - the hardware and software used to test our products at the board, sub-module, and system level - from new product introduction (NPI) through to full production. You'll be the connective tissue between engineering and the factory, turning new test capabilities into qualified, repeatable, high-volume production flows and keeping them on schedule as we ramp.

What You'll Do

• Own manufacturing test programs end-to-end - from NPI through qualification, production ramp, and sustaining - for test hardware and software across board, sub-module, and system-level testing.
• Build and drive the plan - milestones, dependencies, critical path, and clear entry/exit gates - and keep it on track as priorities shift.
• Coordinate across teams - test, hardware, and software engineering, manufacturing operations, quality, and external manufacturing partners.
• Work hand-in-hand with program-level TPMs rolling up test readiness, risks, and dependencies into the broader product programs.
• Manage risk proactively - maintain a living risk register, surface issues early, and drive them to closure with clear owners and dates.
• Own the qualification-to-production handoff - ensure test changes are validated, controlled, and cleanly promoted before they reach the line.
• Run the operating cadence - reviews, status reporting, and metrics (yield, test time, throughput, capacity) that drive decisions.
• Plan for scale - keep test capacity and readiness ahead of the production ramp.

What You Have

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of technical program or project management experience in a hardware, electronics, or semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated success driving cross-functional programs to a schedule, including with teams that don't report to you.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing test and/or the NPI-to-production lifecycle.
• Enough technical fluency across test hardware and software to earn engineers' trust and make sound trade-offs.
• Clear, data-driven communication with both technical and leadership audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with contract manufacturers or across multiple sites.
• Exposure to test development, automation, or manufacturing execution systems (MES).
• Familiarity with quality and change-control practices in a high-reliability environment.
• PMP, Six Sigma, or equivalent.

Why Join

You'll have real ownership of programs that put first-of-their-kind hardware into production, working alongside a deeply technical team on problems that don't have a playbook yet.

Pay

The base salary range for this position is $150,000 to $220,000 annually. Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.
