Hardware Technical Program Manager

About the Opportunity: A fast-growing leader in consumer electronics sensory technologies (acoustics, haptics, vibration motors, micro actuators, and precision components) is rapidly expanding its motors and robotics team in the Bay Area. This high-impact role supports major global smartphone, wearable, and laptop OEMs, driving next-generation small motor systems and related modules from concept through high-volume mass production. Green card or Citizenship required Key Responsibilities: Own and lead cross-functional program execution for micro-motors, vibration/haptics actuators, gearboxes, small robotics modules, and cooling systems (fans/blowers) from early design through NPI, prototyping, qualification, and ramp to full production. Serve as the primary voice of the customer: collaborate closely with high-level clients (decision-makers at top-tier OEMs), manage build schedules/milestones, mitigate risks, resolve interdependencies, and handle commercial topics (quotes, POs, invoices, pricing/delivery). Coordinate global cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain) and work directly with engineering/factory teams to ensure on-time delivery and quality targets. Identify and drive program priorities, even when not fully defined; take full ownership of project success without requiring direct authority. Support customer visits to manufacturing sites and be available outside regular hours as needed. Required Qualifications: Bachelors degree (Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field) or equivalent experience. 35+ years of program/project management experience (510 years preferred for senior fits). Proven track record driving hardware/product development lifecycles in high-volume consumer electronics or related industries (smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets, robotics/small actuators). Strong understanding of NPI cycles, supply chain operations, and cross-functional team leadership. Experience with Hardware, not software
