The Sensing, Power, and Haptics Engineering Program Manager joins a team dedicated to developing next-generation sensing technologies including Health, Optical, Touch, Force, wireless power, and haptics. This role involves orchestrating the full lifecycle of sensing systems from concept and specification through characterization, integration, and validation at both module and system levels. You will serve as the primary bridge for cross-functional communication between electrical, mechanical, process, reliability, software, and firmware engineering teams while managing program plans, schedules, and inter-dependencies. Key responsibilities include leading failure analysis, performance validation testing, and design release cadences for hardware components. The role requires a STEM degree and experience in hardware development environments involving semiconductor or sensing technologies. You will also leverage AI tools to improve workflows while navigating complex technical challenges to deliver differentiated user experiences across the product portfolio.

What you'll do

  • Orchestrate the development and integration of sensing, wireless power, and haptics technologies across product lines.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of sensing systems from initial concept and specification to final validation.
  • Drive alignment and communication between multi-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, software, and firmware engineering.
  • Define program plans and schedules while managing inter-dependencies and adapting to emerging technical challenges.
  • Deliver executive presentations and communications to drive the decision-making process for key programs.
  • Lead failure analysis activities and define performance validation requirements for electrical and mechanical components.
  • Manage development builds by coordinating with manufacturing partners, operations teams, and external suppliers.
  • Identify and resolve technical and interpersonal conflicts to ensure project milestones are met.

What we're looking for

  • BS in a STEM field and over 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in hardware development, including product development or program management for semiconductor, sensing technologies, or hardware systems.
  • Familiarity with AI tools and interest in applying them to improve engineering and program workflows.
  • Ability and willingness to travel internationally.
  • Advanced engineering degree (preferred).
  • Experience in consumer electronics (preferred).
  • Proven ability to lead and inspire multi-functional teams to deliver pioneering sensing solutions (preferred).
  • Strong communication skills to distill complex technical data for various audiences and drive decision-making (preferred).
