Join our Hardware Engineering organization as a Lidar Technical Program Manager (TPM). In this role, you will drive the end-to-end product lifecycle, master the foundational pillars of schedule, scope, and budget, and serve as the central coordinator for engineering execution. You will also optimize workflows, create actionable clarity, and own the visual narrative of project tracking. The ideal candidate will have a bachelor's degree in a related technical field, 2-3 years of experience in a fast-paced hardware development environment, and strong communication skills.

• Drive the end-to-end product lifecycle across various levels within the Lidar organization, ensuring alignment between engineering execution and program schedules.
• Coordinate with cross-functional hardware and software teams to ensure system-level requirements are properly decomposed, mapped, and verified throughout the development lifecycle.
• Design and maintain intuitive dashboards, progress charts, and status metrics that make complex engineering data and project health clear at a glance.
• Detail-Oriented Mindset: An analytical approach to tracking technical data, ensuring that engineering plans, changes, and release statuses are meticulously documented
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
• Systematic Organization: Exceptional organizational skills with a proven ability to build structure out of ambiguity, prioritize tasks, and systematically track deliverables
• Engineering Foundation: 2-3 years of experience with core engineering principles, the Systems Engineering V-Model, and how a Bill of Materials (BOM) is structured
• Cross-Functional Communication: Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to confidently collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams and interface with engineering leaders to resolve discrepancies
• Task & Project Management (Jira): Experience using Jira (or equivalent ticketing systems) to manage engineering sprints, track program milestones, and deconstruct complex goals into actionable deliverables
• Requirements Management (Jama): Familiarity with Jama (or equivalent tools like DOORS) to coordinate requirements decomposition, baseline tracking, and cross-functional traceability
• Product Lifecycle Management (Arena): 2-3 years of exposure to PLM platforms such as Arena (or equivalent) to manage BOM architecture, track build readiness, and support the Engineering Change Order (ECO) workflow
• CAD & Data Management (3DEXPERIENCE): Experience navigating complex product assemblies and mapping product architecture in 3DEXPERIENCE / 3DX (or equivalent CAD platforms)
• Industry Exposure: 2-3 years in a fast-paced hardware development environment (e.g., automotive, robotics, aerospace, or sensor technologies)
