Do you like to bring order to chaos by working with a team of talented, uplifting people? We are seeking a hardware technical program manager to help us organize, track, and prioritize our hardware efforts. This is an intensely collaborative position, and while it’s very remote-friendly, candidates must be able to work a US Pacific timezone schedule.
As a hardware technical program manager at Oxide, you will:

• Manage a portfolio of electrical and mechanical design programs from prototype to new product introduction to sustaining engineering.
• Work with teams across the company to ensure our hardware, software, and manufacturing are all designed together.
• Coordinate with key suppliers on component evaluation, qualification, and prototype/development hardware procurement.
• Refine and systematize our engineering change order (ECO) management process for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring proper implementation.
• Work with hardware design teams to identify dependencies, milestones, and risks to keep program schedules as close to reality as possible.
• Coordinate DFM/DFT reviews between key suppliers and our hardware design team.
• Design and implement an obsolescence risk and product change notification management program.
• Manage vendors and coordinate with the broader operations and engineering teams on test plans and documentation for product regulatory and safety testing.
• Partner with the Quality team to develop controlled documents and specifications for supplier management.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You

• Love the gritty details of part and system design, material selection, and different manufacturing processes such as sheet metal forming and printed circuit board fabrication. Excitement to explore new and different methods of fabrication is also a plus!
• Get energy from enabling great engineering in a rapidly growing company.
• Question assumptions and care deeply about not just making sure products are safe and compliant, but also that the end-user experience is awesome.
• Have experience with all stages of a product’s life cycle and enjoy developing systems that can be built and work reliably at scale!
• Build trust through understanding the details, organizing work, and empowering teams.
• Believe in fully documenting your ideas.
• Enjoy reading the documentation produced by others.
