Seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to lead the development and integration of a wearable medical device platform combining embedded hardware (sensors, PCBs, mechanical/electrical subsystems) with a cloud-native software platform. This role owns the program schedule end-to-end across hardware and software work streams, with particular emphasis on sequencing software delivery against hardware development milestones — since hardware lead times (PCB fabrication, component procurement, mechanical tooling, bring-up, and safety verification) typically drive the critical path and dictate the overall program timeline.

• Own the integrated hardware/software program schedule, ensuring software delivery milestones are sequenced against hardware readiness (PCB fab, component lead times, mechanical builds, bring-up, and compliance testing) rather than planned independently.
• Coordinate across mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineering teams (internal and partner/vendor) alongside software and cloud engineering teams.
• Track hardware long-lead procurement (components, transducers, PCB fabrication, backup sourcing) and proactively flag schedule risk to downstream software and integration work streams.
• Manage the hardware-software interface: sensor specifications, communication protocols/APIs (e.g., BLE, USB-C), firmware-to-cloud data pipelines, and version-locking between hardware spec releases and software builds.
• Lead end-to-end software platform delivery (cloud backend, real-time data pipeline, clinician dashboard) using Agile/Scrum methodologies, timed to hardware integration windows.
• Coordinate hardware bring-up, bench validation, and safety/compliance verification (e.g., acoustic output, electrode SNR, mechanical fit) alongside software integration testing.
• Manage project plans, risks, and dependencies across multiple hardware and software partner organizations;
  ** escalate
  * * cross-partner blockers early given the schedule sensitivity of hardware work streams.
• Facilitate technical reviews, milestone/compliance demonstrations, and executive status reporting spanning both hardware and software progress.
• Support healthcare interoperability initiatives, including HL7/FHIR-based integrations, for the software layer.
• Ensure hardware and software development follow security-by-design, safety, and regulatory compliance best practices (including support for FDA engagement where applicable).
• Manage vendor, partner, and stakeholder relationships across hardware suppliers, software delivery partners, and clinical/regulatory stakeholders.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline. (Computer Science/Information Systems background considered only with demonstrated hardware program management experience.)
• 5+ years of Technical Program Management or Systems Integration experience on programs combining hardware and software development.
• Demonstrated experience managing hardware development life cycles — component sourcing/lead times, PCB fabrication, mechanical builds, bring-up, and verification/validation — and understanding how they constrain downstream software and integration schedules.
• Strong knowledge of embedded systems, hardware-software interfaces (APIs, communication protocols), and cloud/software architecture.
• Experience leading Agile software delivery teams in coordination with hardware engineering teams.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and…
