Technical Program Manager / Systems Architect

We are seeking a rare hybrid: a Technical Program Manager who thinks like a Systems Engineer. This role goes well beyond tracking schedules and status updates—you will serve as the connective tissue between high level system architecture and the day to day execution of complex engineering work.

The ideal candidate brings a hands on engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or Mechatronics) and a deep understanding of how physical systems integrate with software, controls, and power. You will own the full lifecycle of technically demanding programs—defining the roadmap, managing requirements and risks, and ensuring milestones are met without compromising system integrity.

Key Responsibilities:

Program & Project Leadership

• Own and coordinate multiple interrelated projects to ensure alignment with broader program and organizational objectives.
• Define program scope, objectives, milestones, dependencies, and measurable success criteria.
• Develop, maintain, and execute detailed schedules, proactively identifying risks and bottlenecks before they become execution blocking issues.

Requirements & Deliverables Management

• Translate customer, regulatory, and market needs into clear, actionable technical requirements.
• Ensure sub system leads understand expectations, dependencies, and delivery milestones.
• Facilitate regular technical stand ups, syncs, and reviews to keep execution on track.

Resource & Cross Functional Coordination

• Advocate for appropriate staffing and resource levels to enable program success.
• Coordinate shared resources across mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing teams, and other internal and external stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact between engineering, procurement, operations, and external stakeholders.

Systems Architecture & Integration

• Lead high level system architecture and integration across mechanical, electrical, and control domains.
• Maintain clear visibility into interdependencies between sub systems to prevent integration issues downstream.

Risk Management & Trade Studies

• Identify, track, and mitigate program level technical, schedule, and cost risks.
• Perform trade off analyses (cost vs. performance vs. schedule) to inform decision making and keep programs on course.

Documentation & Information Architecture

• Establish and maintain a structured single source of truth for program documentation, ensuring technical artifacts (requirements, schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, test results) are easily discoverable.
• Organize information so both executives and engineers can access what they need within three clicks or fewer.

Execution Readiness & SOP Development

• Lead the creation of assembly documentation, work instructions, and test procedures that allow engineering intent to be executed repeatedly and reliably by production or service teams.
• Ensure designs transition smoothly from engineering to manufacturing, integration, and field deployment.

Information Accessibility & Clarity

• Deliberately separate high level program summaries from detailed technical documentation to reduce information overload.
• Optimize data organization to support rapid decision making and minimize friction across teams.
