POSITION OVERVIEW

The Technical Program Manager, Lab & Hardware Tracking is the R&D-side point of coordination for DDN's lab consolidation initiative and for hardware build support across engineering programs — keeping consolidation moving without disrupting active R&D work, and making sure engineering has the builds, systems, and lab capacity it needs, when it needs them.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Coordinate the lab consolidation initiative end to end — sequencing site moves, equipment migration, and decommissioning across teams

Partner with facilities, IT, and hardware engineering on the consolidated lab layout (power, rack space, network) and migration timeline

Track milestones, dependencies, and risks; elevate blockers that threaten program timelines or R&D continuity

R&D Build Support

Serve as the R&D-side point of coordination for hardware build requests, ensuring engineering has the systems, prototypes, and test equipment it needs

Track build status and dependencies, proactively flagging risks to program milestones

Prioritize and sequence competing build and lab requests against program urgency and lab capacity

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

8–12 years of experience in technical program management, hardware program management, or lab/data center operations — including a lab move, consolidation, or facility transition

Demonstrated experience coordinating hardware build schedules and dependencies with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams

Strong cross-functional coordination skills; comfortable running a multi-workstream plan with competing priorities and hard deadlines

Experience tracking physical hardware assets/inventory at scale, including through relocation or reconciliation efforts

Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize status for engineering leadership

Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Direct experience leading or supporting a lab consolidation, relocation, or data center/facility migration

Background in enterprise storage, networking, servers, or HPC/AI infrastructure hardware

PMP or equivalent program/project management certification

We pride ourselves on our commitment to delivering tangible and consistent results.
