Responsibilities
Lead a major hardware program or program workstream from early prototype through PVT, aligning teams on scope, objectives, deliverables, milestones, and launch-critical outcomes.
Coordinate integrated execution across mechanical, electrical, firmware, science, and test teams; connect their plans, dependencies, decisions, and deliverables into one coherent program plan.
Build and maintain the integrated schedule, critical path, milestone plan, and action log. Identify cross-functional dependencies and keep owners accountable for commitments.
Plan and coordinate hardware builds from early prototypes through EVT, DVT, and PVT, including build objectives, readiness criteria, material and resource needs, issue triage, and follow-through on build learnings.
Run effective core team meetings: set clear agendas, focus discussion on decisions and trade-offs, document actions and owners, and drive closure between meetings.
Lead from the front when execution is at risk. Unblock teams, drive timely decisions, align stakeholders on recovery plans, and escalate issues with clear options and recommendations.
Identify, assess, and manage program risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies. Ensure mitigation plans have accountable owners, dates, and measurable closure criteria.
Own program budget management, including planning, tracking actuals and forecasts, identifying variances, and presenting trade-offs or corrective actions to the appropriate leaders.
Prepare and present concise, decision-oriented program updates to the executive team and other senior stakeholders, covering status, schedule, budget, key accomplishments, risks, decisions needed, and recovery plans.
Partner with Hardware Engineering and functional leaders to align resource needs, technical priorities, and program commitments; make cross-team impacts and trade-offs visible.
Coordinate with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and manufacturing partners to ensure build readiness, issue resolution, and a clear path through PVT.
Maintain accurate program documentation and reporting, including plans, decisions, risks, budgets, build readiness, and status.
