Project Manager for Hardware Project & Product Management · Salt Lake

Do you enjoy transforming ambitious hardware concepts into products built for the real world? Help deliver the technology powering the world’s first autonomous buildings.

Passive Logic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We’ve reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world’s carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.

We are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives—backed by the world’s leading investors—working together to make the future a reality.

This is a career-defining opportunity to play a crucial role in a hyper-scale AI company that is transforming the future of autonomous systems, energy, and the built environment.

As a Hardware Project Manager at Passive Logic, you will lead complex hardware development projects from concept through design, validation, manufacturing, and product launch. You will coordinate multidisciplinary teams, translate technical objectives into executable plans, and ensure products are delivered on schedule while meeting performance, quality, cost, and customer requirements.

Lead hardware projects from concept through production: Create and maintain integrated project plans covering requirements, architecture, prototyping, design reviews, engineering builds, validation, certification, manufacturing readiness, and product launch.

Drive cross-functional engineering execution: Align electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, systems, test, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams around shared milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.

Help engineering teams move forward when complexity slows progress: Use your technical understanding to identify roadblocks, close gaps, facilitate decisions, and keep development moving. Approach problem-solving with a bias for action and a data-driven methodology, making sound decisions even when information is incomplete.

Manage technical and operational risk: Surface schedule, design, supply chain, cost, quality, certification, and manufacturing risks early. Establish mitigation plans, assign clear ownership, and drive issues through resolution.

Coordinate prototype and production builds: Partner with engineering, sourcing, suppliers, and manufacturing teams to plan builds, confirm readiness, manage material constraints, track issues, and apply lessons to subsequent development cycles.

Give teams the visibility they need to make good decisions: Clearly communicate plans, progress, goals, decisions, and roadblocks to stakeholders, producing reporting artifacts that enable sound decision-making.

We value curiosity as much as experience. We look for people who enjoy learning, challenge conventional thinking, and take pride in continuously improving their craft.

Proven experience:

• 5+ years of experience in hardware project, engineering program, or new product introduction management.
• Experience guiding multidisciplinary hardware teams through multiple stages of the product development lifecycle.
• Experience using multiple project and program management techniques and understanding when to apply each methodology, including waterfall, agile, Kanban, stage-gate, or hybrid approaches.

Hardware development knowledge: A strong working understanding of hardware development, including requirements, prototyping, design reviews, engineering changes, verification and validation, manufacturing…
