WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re seeking a Technical Project Manager, Software and Firmware to bring clarity, structure, and momentum to fast-moving software and firmware development. This role exists to help teams stay focused, aligned, and moving forward as priorities evolve.

WHO YOU WILL WORK ON

  • Organize and drive execution for software and firmware development efforts across teams
  • Own sprint planning, backlog hygiene, and prioritization in JIRA, with particular focus on bug triage, quality, and delivery readiness
  • Establish and evolve execution processes where needed, not just operate existing ones
  • Drive clear priorities, action items, owners, and follow-ups to ensure progress and convergence
  • Facilitate agile ceremonies and working sessions that produce decisions and forward motion
  • Act as a strong intermediary between engineers, product, design, and QA to resolve ambiguity and surface risks early
  • Maintain documentation to support alignment, accountability, and execution

WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

You’ll work at the center of cross-functional software, firmware, QA, product, and design teams building complex, highly integrated mechatronic products. This role partners closely with engineering leadership to bring structure, focus, and momentum to day-to-day execution.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Senior-level experience managing software and firmware projects in an agile environment
  • Strong background as a project manager, Scrum Master, or agile delivery lead for technical teams
  • Experience working on hardware-integrated or mechatronics products
  • Deep comfort using JIRA to organize work, prioritize issues, and adapt workflows to team needs
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Builder mindset: you see gaps, lean in, and create structure to help teams move faster
  • Highly self-motivated, action-oriented, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments
  • Service-oriented leader who naturally enables teams, removes friction, and drives outcomes

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

  • Embedded systems, robotics, wearables, or other firmware-driven products
  • Familiarity with firmware development lifecycles and validation workflows
  • Experience coordinating across internal teams and external partners
  • RCD, incubation, or fast-moving product development environments
