Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware Technical Program Manager (Information Technology and Applications)

Description

Lead end-to-end hardware development programs by coordinating engineering teams and external contract manufacturers to set schedules, align priorities, manage risks, and deliver milestones from concept through Engineering Validation Testing (EVT), Design Validation Testing (DVT), Production Validation Testing (PVT), and into production ramp. Translate corporate strategies into detailed program roadmaps and execution plans, and keep stakeholders informed with standardized reporting. Drive cross-functional decisions and resolve bottlenecks across hardware, software, firmware, functional safety, systems engineering, procurement, and vehicle development teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead hardware programs from concept and architecture through EVT/DVT/PVT and production ramp
• Create program roadmaps, schedules, deliverables, and execution plans from corporate milestones
• Coordinate hardware, software, firmware, functional safety, systems engineering, procurement, and vehicle development teams
• Plan and execute prototype and engineering builds with contract manufacturers; incorporate DFM/DFT feedback and prepare for production ramp
• Track progress, identify risks/dependencies, and drive mitigation and issue resolution
• Produce standardized reports and communicate status, milestones, risks, and accomplishments to leadership and cross-functional teams
• Facilitate program decisions, set meeting priorities, and remove blockers to maintain timelines
