About the Role

~1 min read

We build the hardware behind frontier AI, and getting it into volume production reliably is a team sport. We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive our manufacturing test programs - the hardware and software used to test our products at the board, sub-module, and system level - from new product introduction (NPI) through to full production. You'll be the connective tissue between engineering and the factory, turning new test capabilities into qualified, repeatable, high-volume production flows and keeping them on schedule as we ramp.

  • Working knowledge of manufacturing test and/or the NPI-to-production lifecycle.

  • Enough technical fluency across test hardware and software to earn engineers' trust and make sound trade-offs.

  • Clear, data-driven communication with both technical and leadership audiences.

  • Experience with contract manufacturers or across multiple sites.

  • Exposure to test development, automation, or manufacturing execution systems (MES).
