TL;DR · Sensing, Power, and Haptics Engineering Program Manager

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 systems. This role involves orchestrating the full lifecycle of these technologies from initial concept and specification through characterization, integration, and validation at both module and system levels. The manager serves as a primary bridge for cross-functional communication between electrical, mechanical, process, reliability, software, and firmware engineering teams while managing supplier relationships and development builds. Key responsibilities include defining program schedules, leading failure analysis, performing performance validation, and delivering executive presentations to drive decision-making. Candidates should possess a STEM degree and experience in hardware development for semiconductor or sensing technologies. The role requires navigating complex technical data and ambiguity 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 interdependencies and adapting to emerging technical challenges.
  • Deliver executive presentations and communications to drive critical decision-making processes.
  • Lead failure analysis activities and define performance validation requirements for electrical and mechanical components.
  • Manage development builds by coordinating with process teams, operations partners, and external suppliers.
  • Identify and resolve technical and interpersonal conflicts to ensure project momentum.

What we're looking for

  • BS in a STEM field and at least 3 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in hardware development, including product development or program management for semiconductor, sensing technologies, or hardware systems.
  • Curiosity about and familiarity with AI tools 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 multi-functional teams and distill complex technical data for clear decision-making (preferred).
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity and rapid development cycles with strong critical-thinking skills (preferred).
