About the role

This is a hands-on project management role sitting between program management and project coordination.

Coordinate across disciplines - manage dependencies, requests, and support between ME, EE, OE, and production so cross-functional work stays aligned.
Own project tracking in Jira - break deliverables into tasks and sub-tasks, capture duration and effort estimates, enforce workflow best practices, and keep boards clean, current, and accurate.
Plan and manage resources - track resourcing needs and escalate risks early.

5-8 years of project management or project coordination experience in a hardware engineering, lab, scientific instrumentation, or manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional engineering work (mechanical, electrical, and/or optical) - comfortable in conversations about components, BOMs, integration, and installation logistics.
Drive delivery completeness - work with the HW Engineering team to ensure all the necessary equipment and planning is done for a successful deployment: all required modules, components, and facilities included in plan.
Audit project artifacts - ensure projects have the required documents in the correct formats/templates and track them down when they're missing.

Experience with hardware engineering development and production.
Experience supporting system deployments or installations at customer or facility sites.
PMP or Agile/Scrum certification.
Direct, visible impact: whether systems ship on time and deploy without surprises will be, in large part, your doing.
Growth path into program management as the hardware organization scales.
Working Environment

Persistent, diplomatic follow-up - comfortable driving accountability without authority.
Strong organizational and communication skills; able to translate loosely defined requests into concrete, scheduled work.

$150,000-$190,000.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly.
We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
