Job 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!

- Execution excellence and people: Mentor Project Leads and Senior Engineers on planning, estimation, customer communication and Agile/hybrid delivery.
- Execution excellence and people: Ensure engineering practices are followed - code reviews, CI/CD, test strategy, documentation, and compliance where applicable.

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