Role Overview
We are seeking a technically strong Technical Project Manager (TPM) experienced in managing the development of embedded hardware and firmware-based products from samples to production. The ideal candidate will bridge engineering execution and project deliveryensuring complete handover to manufacturing and robust production readiness.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end project execution for hardware and firmware-based products, from requirement definition through design, validation, and production release.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware, mechanical, test, and production) to ensure timely and high-quality deliverables.
- Drive hardware design reviews, firmware integration milestones, and validation test planning.
- Establish and maintain comprehensive project schedules, risk registers, and progress status reports.
- Collaborate with supply chain and production teams to ensure manufacturability (DFM/DFT) and readiness for mass production.
- Ensure product documentation, BOMs, and firmware releases are version-controlled and properly handed over to production.
- Facilitate effective communication between engineering, quality, and manufacturing departments for smooth production transitions.
- Support issue resolution during pilot runs and production ramp-up.
- Track key project KPIs, budgets, and stakeholder expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
Qualifications And Skills
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related discipline.
- 24 years of experience, with at least 1+ years in a technical project management or program management role.
- Proven experience in embedded product development involving both hardware and firmware.
- Hands-on understanding of hardware design cycles (schematics, PCB, validation) and embedded software development processes.
- Demonstrated ability in product industrialization and production handover.
- Proficiency with project management tools (JIRA, MS Project, Confluence, or equivalents).
- Strong communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
Good-to-have Experience
- Worked with automotive, EV, or industrial embedded systems (e.g., BMS, controllers, sensors).
- Familiarity with quality standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or AIS standards.
- Experience in vendor coordination and contract manufacturing.
