Pinetics is a product design and development company in Pune. We build electronics hardware, firmware, embedded systems and IoT products for clients, mostly startups and product companies in Europe and the US.
We are looking for a Technical Delivery Manager who takes complete ownership of client projects and delivers them.
This is a customer facing role. You will be the person the client calls, and the person accountable when a date is at risk. You will run 2 to 4 concurrent product development projects and lead a team of roughly 10 to 20 engineers across hardware, firmware, embedded and application layers, working through Tech Leads.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- End to end delivery of your projects: scope, schedule, effort, quality and final handover.
- The client relationship on all delivery matters: requirements, reviews, milestone demos, change requests and escalations.
- The daily rhythm: stand-ups and review calls with transparent outcomes, owners and dates.
- Unblocking your team. Pull in the right expert, break the problem down, take the decision, or escalate fast. No engineer sits blocked for days.
- Resource allocation across projects, and a forward view of capacity.
- A live risk register, and early escalation with a recommendation rather than just a problem.
- The weekly status report that both the client and management can trust.
WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT
You will not review schematics or PCB layouts. Our Tech Leads own design correctness. You do need to be technically literate enough to follow the engineering discussion, challenge an estimate that does not add up, recognise a risk before it becomes a slip, and explain any of it to a client in plain language.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- 8 to 12 years total experience,
with at least 3 years owning delivery of technical projects and managing teams.
- An engineering background, ideally as a former engineer or tech lead, in electronics, embedded or software.
- Working understanding of the electronics product development lifecycle: requirements, architecture, schematic and PCB design, prototype build, bring-up, firmware, integration, testing and certification.
- Excellent verbal and written communication in English. This is non-negotiable for a customer facing role.
- Comfort working with clients across European and US timezones, including occasional early or late calls.
- Experience with Jira, Azure DevOps, MS Project or similar.
- B.E. / B.Tech / M.E. / M.Tech in Electronics, Electronics and Telecommunication, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
ADDED ADVANTAGE
- Experience in a product design services or outsourced product development environment.
- Experience delivering to European or US clients, particularly startups.
- Exposure to IoT or IoMT projects, or regulated development such as ISO 13485.
- PMP, Prince2, Agile or Scrum certification. A proven delivery record matters more than a certificate.
- Working knowledge of German or another European language.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Clients contact you first and trust what you tell them about status and dates.
- No milestone slips without the client and management having known well in advance, with a plan already in motion.
- Engineers are rarely blocked for more than a day.
- Management can ask about any project at any time and get an accurate answer immediately.
- Delivery does not depend on any single individual, including you.
Location: Pune, Wakad. On-site.
CTC: As per industry standard for relevant experience.
