About the role,

Our early stage team is seeking a Hardware Engineering Program Manager to lead the development and execution of our first publicly available headset. This role will be responsible for managing cross-functional technical teams, overseeing project timelines, and ensuring successful delivery of our hardware devices. The Hardware Engineering Program Manager will work closely with the product team, engineering team, and other stakeholders to define and execute project goals and deliverables.

Your responsibilities:

• Ensure the delivery of high-quality hardware products on time and within budget.

• Continuously improve project management processes and methodologies.

• Push back: you like to challenge the status quo and drive things.

• 5+ years of experience in hardware, at least 2 of which are in a technical program manager role.

• Experience in an early stage startup environment is preferred.

• Strong technical background with experience in hardware development and manufacturing.
