The Program Manager will focus on coordinating and tracking engineering work across multiple teams to ensure initiatives move smoothly from early concept through release, change control, and ongoing support. The position emphasizes prioritization, execution visibility, and cross‑functional alignment to keep engineering efforts on schedule and risks surfaced early.
Client Details
The company is a growing manufacturing organization that designs and produces complex electronic and electromechanical products for demanding applications.

Description
The Program Manager will:
- Coordinate technical initiatives across their full lifecycle, from early-stage development through release, manufacturing readiness, and post-release support
- Define schedules, checkpoints, and ownership while maintaining ongoing visibility into progress and deliverables
- Monitor commitments, surface risks or constraints, and raise issues when timelines or outputs are at risk
- Balance workload and priorities across multiple technical functions to ensure resources are aligned to business needs
- Lead recurring team coordination sessions to track progress, address blockers, and maintain forward momentum
- Act as a central liaison between technical and non-technical groups to ensure alignment on timelines, deliverables, and requirements
- Support structured handoffs between development, production, and downstream support activities to minimize delays or rework
- Maintain systems and processes that track project status, incoming work, and changes, while highlighting inefficiencies and opportunities for improved execution
Profile
The successful applicant will have:
- Demonstrates strong capability in coordinating complex technical work across multiple teams in a manufacturing or product‑based environment
- Brings a structured, execution‑focused approach to managing priorities, timelines, and follow‑through across concurrent initiatives
- Comfortable operating in fast‑moving, evolving organizations where process and structure may need to be built or refined
- Communicates clearly and consistently with technical and non‑technical stakeholders to maintain alignment and momentum
- Maintains high visibility into work in progress, proactively identifying risks, dependencies, and capacity constraints
- Possesses sufficient technical curiosity and baseline understanding to engage effectively with hardware, electronics, and engineering teams
- Experienced with design changes, release coordination, and testing activities in support of production or customer delivery
- Adaptable, detail‑oriented, and accountable, with a bias toward action and early problem escalation
Job Offer
My client can offer:
- Competitive compensation with free healthcare
- Free, catered lunches
- High level of visibility and influence, with direct partnership alongside senior engineering leadership
- Hands-on involvement across a wide range of engineering and operational initiatives rather than ownership of a single narrow program
- Exposure to cross-functional decision-making spanning engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, and customer-facing teams
- Ability to build and refine execution processes as the organization scales, with real impact on delivery predictability and product quality
- Fast-moving, collaborative environment that values ownership, accountability, and practical problem-solving
- Role designed for someone who wants to improve how work gets done, not just track it
- Opportunity to grow alongside the business while contributing to meaningful, production-focused engineering outcomes
