Summary:

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to own a program of concurrent customer engineering projects — typically 3-7 projects across test & measurement, embedded, software and AI engagements for global customers. You will be the single point of accountability for program health: delivery against commitments, margin, leading teams, risk, and customer satisfaction.

You will work through Project Leads and Architects, step in where a project needs it, and give leadership a clear, honest view of where every engagement stands. You bring strong engineering judgment and the discipline to run many moving parts at once — keeping every project healthy. If that sounds like you, we would love to meet you!

Position Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to manage 3–7 concurrent customer engineering projects across test & measurement, embedded, software and AI domains. The role involves end-to-end program delivery, governance, resource planning, risk management, financial performance and customer satisfaction. You will lead through Project Leads and Architects, manage senior customer relationships, ensure delivery excellence and drive continuous improvement across the program.

Key Responsibilities:

Program governance

- Own end-to-end delivery of a program of 3–7 concurrent projects (fixed-bid and T&M;), from kickoff to closure.

- Set up a governance cadence: weekly program reviews, RAG status, milestone and burn tracking, and monthly reviews with leadership.

- Track program-level metrics — schedule and effort variance, gross margin, utilization, quality, and customer satisfaction — and act on trends.

Planning, people and risk
- Build integrated plans across projects, including cross-project dependencies, shared components and shared lab/hardware resources.

- Partner with People Management on ramp-ups, ramp-downs and people movement across the program.

- Maintain a program risk and issue register; drive mitigations with Project Leads before they become escalations.

- Review estimates, SOWs and change requests with Architects to keep scope, cost and timelines realistic.

Customer and stakeholder management
- Act as the senior delivery contact for customer program managers and engineering leaders, often across US/EU time zones.





- Run steering-committee and QBR-style reviews; communicate status, risks and decisions clearly and honestly.

- Identify account growth opportunities (follow-on phases, new workstreams) and support Sales and Pre-sales with proposals.

Execution excellence and people
- Mentor Project Leads and Senior Engineers on planning, estimation, customer communication and Agile/hybrid delivery.

- Ensure engineering practices are followed — code reviews, CI/CD, test strategy, documentation, and compliance where applicable.

- Standardise tools, templates and reporting across the program, and drive retrospectives and continuous improvement.

- Handle project recovery: step into troubled projects, diagnose root causes and put them back on track.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (CS, ECE, EEE, Instrumentation or related).

- 7–12 years of experience, starting in hands-on engineering, with 3+ years managing multiple projects or a program at the same time.

- Proven delivery of customer-facing projects in a services or product-engineering setting, with ownership of both schedule and financials (budget, margin, billing).

- Strong technical depth in at least one area — software (C#/.NET, Python, full stack), embedded/FPGA, or test & measurement automation — enough to challenge estimates and architecture decisions.

- Working knowledge of Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and hybrid delivery models, and when to use each.

- Hands-on with program tools such as Jira/Azure DevOps, MS Project or equivalent, and program dashboards.

- Excellent written and spoken communication; comfortable presenting to customer executives and internal leadership.

- Track record of growing and mentoring Project Leads.

Good to have Skills:

- Exposure to hardware-software projects — test systems, lab setups, data acquisition, or embedded products.

- Experience delivering GenAI, AI/ML or data projects for customers.





- Experience working with US/European customers, including on-site visits.
