About the role

Staff Hardware TPM to drive cross-functional execution for next-generation hardware platforms, owning the complete hardware product development lifecycle from concept to GA, coordinating multiple engineering and business functions to ensure scalable, high-quality delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Own integrated execution planning and delivery tracking across all stages of hardware development (Concept → Architecture Definition → Detailed Design → Proto/EVT/DVT/PVT Builds → Mass Production & GA)
  • Define, track, and manage the integrated master schedule, dependencies, hardware build readiness, and critical path milestones across hardware, firmware, and release streams
  • Proactively identify program risks, long-lead component bottlenecks, resourcing gaps, and technical trade-offs; drive mitigation strategies to keep programs on track
  • Serve as the central coordination point across Product, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), Firmware (FW) and SW teams
  • Facilitate interface alignment, system-level trade-off discussions, and structured technical review cycles across hardware and software disciplines
  • Coordinate prototype build bring-up, joint HW/FW integration, and system validation (EVT/DVT) testing cycles
  • Partner with New Product Introduction (NPI), Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to track component readiness, tooling leads, vendor deliverables, and factory build execution
  • Ensure DFM/DFA/DFT requirements are integrated into early mechanical and electrical detailed design phases
  • Manage program level tracking for BOM health, unit economics, tooling capital expenditure, and vendor execution dependencies
  • Partner with Commercial, Marketing, Services, and Field Operations teams to align delivery schedules with launch readiness, field support structures, and commercial milestones
  • Drive regular operational reviews, maintain program dashboards, and communicate status, trade-offs, and critical escalations to executive leadership
  • Build and refine scalable hardware governance, gate-review processes, and execution frameworks for rapid scaling
  • Conduct post-build retrospectives to elevate predictable execution across development cycles

Qualifications
