## About the Role

* 6+ years of experience in technical program or project management, with a track record of shipping physical/hardware products that include embedded electronics or connected-home/IoT components
 * Demonstrated ability to manage programs that span mechanical engineering, electrical/firmware engineering, and manufacturing - not just software
 * Strong working knowledge of NPI processes, from prototype through pilot to volume production
 * Comfortable reading and reasoning about schedules, BOMs, and technical trade-offs well enough to challenge engineers and hold teams accountable
 * Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical complexity into clear updates for both engineers and executives
 * Experience working directly with manufacturing operations and/or suppliers, ideally in a facility that designs and builds its own hardware
 * A bias toward action and pragmatic problem-solving - comfortable in a company where things move quickly and priorities can shift
 * Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)

Nice to have:

 * Experience with smart home, AV, or building automation products
 * Familiarity with LEAN manufacturing principles

 * Experience with PLM/PDM tools and program management software (e.g., Jira, Asana, Smartsheet)

## Description

Screen Innovations is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive cross-functional execution across our hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams. This is a hands-on role for someone who can bring structure to fast-moving, engineering-driven product development without slowing it down - someone equally comfortable in a factory walkthrough and a sprint planning meeting.

You'll partner closely with Engineering, Product, Manufacturing/Operations, and executive leadership to plan, de-risk, and ship new products - from motorized shade systems and screen materials to the connected-home electronics (like Janus) that control them.

What You'll Do

 * Own end-to-end program planning and execution for major product initiatives, spanning mechanical/industrial design, electrical/firmware engineering, embedded software, and manufacturing readiness
 * Build and maintain program roadmaps, schedules, and dependency maps across hardware and software workstreams, and keep leadership informed with clear, honest status reporting
 * Identify risks early - supply chain, tooling, design, integration - and drive mitigation plans before they become fire drills
 * Facilitate cross-functional rituals (planning, standups, design reviews, gate reviews) that keep engineering, product, and operations aligned without adding unnecessary process overhead
 * Coordinate new product introduction (NPI) from concept through pilot production and full manufacturing ramp on the factory floor
 * Work directly with suppliers and internal manufacturing/operations teams to align component availability, tooling, and production timelines with program milestones
 * Manage scope and trade-off decisions in partnership with product management and engineering leads, keeping programs on schedule and within budget
 * Champion continuous improvement of program management practices, tooling, and documentation as SI's product portfolio grows
