JOB REQUIREMENTS: Senior Technical Program / Project Manager Multidisciplinary Product Development \| Engineering Delivery ROLE OVERVIEW Lead day-to-day execution and delivery across a complex engineering program spanning hardware, electrical engineering, embedded software, connectivity, application software, mobile dependencies, and distributed teams. Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program/Project Manager to support a next-generation architectural lighting platform. This large, multidisciplinary product-development program spans hardware, electrical engineering, firmware and embedded software, wireless connectivity, Linux-based application software, mobile application dependencies, and geographically distributed engineering teams. This leader will partner closely with engineering and project leadership to strengthen execution, coordination, visibility, and accountability. The role will connect work across technical teams, identify stalled deliverables and dependencies, maintain execution discipline in Jira, and ensure risks, decisions, ownership, and next steps are clear. The successful candidate will have the technical fluency to follow complex engineering discussions, ask informed questions, identify inconsistencies, and drive clarity without being the person responsible for solving every technical problem. Key Responsibilities * Drive day-to-day execution across a complex, multidisciplinary engineering program. * Partner with engineering leadership, project management, principal and senior engineers, internal teams, and external engineering partners to keep work moving. * Maintain clear visibility into current work, ownership, due dates, blockers, dependencies, and next steps. * Identify and manage dependencies across hardware, electrical engineering, firmware and embedded software, wireless connectivity, application software, mobile applications, and related engineering workstreams. * Maintain the Jira work environment so it accurately reflects priorities, ownership, commitments, dependencies, and status. * Engage directly with technical teams to validate progress rather than relying solely on high-level status reports. * Identify execution bottlenecks and distinguish among capacity constraints, technical dependencies, planning gaps, coordination issues, unclear ownership, and leadership or accountability concerns. * Surface schedule risks and execution issues early, providing leadership with a reliable view of program health. * Facilitate communication, alignment, and decision-making across geographically distributed engineering teams. * Drive accountability while respecting the roles of existing engineering and project leadership. * Collaborate closely with the existing project-management structure while providing dedicated attention to the program. * Provide frequent, direct updates to senior leadership on progress, obstacles, risks, decisions, and areas requiring intervention. Technical Experience The ideal candidate does not need to be a hands-on expert in every engineering discipline, but must have sufficient technical fluency to lead delivery within a multidisciplinary product-development environment. Experience should include exposure to several of the following: * Hardware and product development * Electrical engineering and electronics * Firmware and embedded software * Software engineering * Linux-based applications or platforms * Wireless and connectivity technologies * Hardware/software integration * Mobile application dependencies * Complex systems integration * Jira-based engineering execution Critical requirement: The candidate must be able to participate credibly in technical conversations, understand dependencies and risks, ask appropriate follow-up questions, and translate technical issues into clear To view the full job description please use the link below. https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid= mJnZW5lcmljLjYxMjgwLjg3NzBAYmVhY29uaGlsbGNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply Online: https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjYxMjgwLjg3NzBAYmVhY29uaGlsbGNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t
