Project Manager Software

Overview

Technical Program Manager to orchestrate the development of embedded products from silicon bring-up to software delivery, ensuring collaboration across hardware, firmware, and application teams.

What you'll do

• Manage project dependencies where code cannot be completed or tested until silicon, prototypes, or Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulators are ready.
• Mix Agile methodologies (for iterative driver features) with Waterfall milestones (aligned with rigid physical hardware tape-outs and manufacturing deadlines).
• Define alternative timelines if custom chips or silicon samples arrive late or display physical defects.
• Manage specialized engineers, e.g. separating the application layer team from the hardware abstraction layer team.
• Act as the translator between silicon vendors, hardware/board design engineers, and upper-level application software teams.

What you'll need

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 8+ years of total experience in embedded systems, including at least 8+ years in a technical leadership or project management role.
• Proven track record of designing, developing, and debugging device drivers.
• Hands-on experience with engineering tools such as Jira, Git, and CI/CD pipelines optimized for embedded testing.
• Depending on the sector, familiarity with functional safety mandates like ISO 26262 (Automotive), IEC 62304 (Medical), or MISRA C guidelines.

Nice to have

• Standard PM credentials such as PMP (Project Management Professional) or Certified ScrumMaster (CSM).
