About the Role
Screen Innovations is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead cross-functional execution across hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams. This role requires driving engineering-driven product development with structure, managing new product introductions from concept to manufacturing, and partnering with various departments to ensure successful product launches.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end program planning and execution for major product initiatives, spanning mechanical/industrial design, electrical/firmware engineering, embedded software, and manufacturing readiness.
- Build and maintain program roadmaps, schedules, and dependency maps across hardware and software workstreams, and keep leadership informed with clear, honest status reporting.
- Identify risks early — supply chain, tooling, design, integration — and drive mitigation plans before they become fire drills.
- Facilitate cross-functional rituals (planning, standups, design reviews, gate reviews) that keep engineering, product, and operations aligned without adding unnecessary process overhead.
- Coordinate new product introduction (NPI) from concept through pilot production and full manufacturing ramp on the factory floor.
- Work directly with suppliers and internal manufacturing/operations teams to align component availability, tooling, and production timelines with program milestones.
- Manage scope and trade-off decisions in partnership with product management and engineering leads, keeping programs on schedule and within budget.
- Champion continuous improvement of program management practices, tooling, and documentation as SI's product portfolio grows.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in technical program or project management, with a track record of shipping physical/hardware products that include embedded electronics or connected-home/IoT components.
- Demonstrated ability to manage programs that span mechanical engineering, electrical/firmware engineering, and manufacturing — not just software.
- Strong working knowledge of NPI processes, from prototype through pilot to volume production.
- Comfortable reading and reasoning about schedules, BOMs, and technical trade-offs well enough to challenge engineers and hold teams accountable.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical complexity into clear updates for both engineers and executives.
- Experience working directly with manufacturing operations and/or suppliers, ideally in a facility that designs and builds its own hardware.
- A bias toward action and pragmatic problem-solving — comfortable in a company where things move quickly and priorities can shift.
