Role Description
As a Technical Program Manager at Gridware, you’ll drive complex, multi-disciplinary projects across firmware, hardware, and supporting software systems. You’ll partner with engineers and stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage schedules, and deliver critical programs on time. You should be equally comfortable discussing system trade-offs with engineers as you are presenting recommendations to executives. This role sits at the intersection of firmware, hardware, and embedded systems with visibility into mobile, web, backend, and data platforms that integrate with our devices.

What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end program execution across firmware and hardware development, ensuring alignment from concept through deployment.
  • Define project scope, milestones, resources, and success criteria for highly cross-functional initiatives.
  • Partner closely with engineering leads to manage risks, unblock dependencies, and balance technical trade-offs.
  • Build and maintain tools, processes, and dashboards that improve program visibility and engineering productivity.
  • Communicate schedules, priorities, and status updates clearly to engineers, leadership, and cross-functional partners.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or related infrastructure/embedded systems roles (firmware/hardware emphasis strongly preferred).
  • Proven ability to deliver in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and multiple stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with the hardware development lifecycles (EVT/DVT/etc), phase gates and working with CMs
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical complexity into clear, actionable plans.
  • Bonus Skills

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience scaling engineering organizations and building cross-functional alignment.
  • Background in product development for IoT, embedded systems, or large-scale hardware/software deployments.
  • Experience leading projects that improved application performance, scalability, or fleet-wide reliability.

  • This describes the ideal candidate; many of us have picked up this expertise along the way. Even if you meet only part of this list, we encourage you to apply!
