System Engineering Program Manager (EPM)

Quick Facts

• Role: System Engineering Program Manager (EPM)

• Focus: Product definition, system engineering, and integration/validation for advanced consumer hardware

Description

You will lead cross-functional system engineering program work for a new product category, defining requirements and validation strategy from product through module level. You will drive identification of critical questions, translate system-level technical decisions into customer experience impacts, and resolve architectural/integration gaps feeding later engineering builds. You will coordinate hardware teams across electrical, mechanical, algorithm, and software to develop optimized hardware products.

Responsibilities

• Drive cross-functional development of requirements and validation plans at product, system, and module levels based on experience targets and technology constraints

• Identify critical technical questions and organize teams to answer them efficiently

• Communicate how system technical decisions affect customer experience

• Drive resolution of architectural and integration gaps to inform subsequent engineering builds

Requirements

• BS/MS in EE/CE/CS/ME (or equivalent experience)

• 3+ years hardware engineering experience in consumer electronics

• 3+ years project management experience managing cross-functional teams across program stages (architecture, integration, validation)

• Understanding of consumer electronics system architectures

• Demonstrated ability to work through system-level development tradeoffs

• Developed planning and execution skills for advanced consumer electronics products (prototype build events and product planning)

• Strong technical background in Electrical, Mechanical, or Software Engineering

• Proactive, self-motivated, strong critical thinking, and strong attention to detail

• Ability to operate well in rapid development cycles with constant change

• Willingness to travel internationally to support development builds

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with camera systems, display and optics technologies, and/or wearable consumer electronics

• Experience leading diverse cross-functional teams and achieving the best possible product solution

• Experience as primary point of contact with vendors and CM partners to establish daily build plans and provide direction to meet program/build objectives

Benefits

The role supports development of a new product category, combining system engineering and program management to shape highly optimized hardware outcomes.
