This role focuses on planning, coordination, and delivery across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, in close partnership with product, operations, and leadership.\nThis is not a people-management role and not a manufacturing program role. It is an execution and coordination role focused on translating customer and business requirements into clear engineering plans, and ensuring commitments are reasonable, visible, and upheld across the organization.\nYou will work as part of a broader team, supporting delivery by creating clarity around priorities, dependencies, and risks so teams can execute effectively.\nThis role will be on-site in Somerville, MA 4-days per week.\nWhat you’ll do\nSupport execution of engineering programs for commercial and government customers, from requirements definition through validation and delivery\nTranslate customer and business requirements into structured engineering program plans with clear scope, milestones, dependencies, and ownership\nCoordinate work across internal engineering teams and external contract resources to meet program objectives\nTrack progress against engineering commitments and surface risks, tradeoffs, and constraints early\nEnsure commitments are realistic, clearly understood, and upheld as conditions evolve\nProvide clear visibility into program status, risks, and tradeoffs to support organizational prioritization and decision-making\nSupport validation and test activities to ensure test plans, execution, and results demonstrate compliance with design and customer requirements\nPartner with operations to align engineering execution with hardware delivery\nMaintain accurate, up-to-date program artifacts and records in Jira and related tools\nIdentify recurring execution issues and work with stakeholders to improve planning and coordination practices\nWhat success looks like\nCustomer requirements are translated into executable engineering plans with clear ownership and sequencing\nEngineering commitments are realistic, clearly communicated, and consistently met\nCommitments are verified through appropriate test and validation demonstrating compliance with design requirements\nChanges to plans or priorities are surfaced early with clear context and options\nLeadership has the visibility needed to make prioritization and resourcing decisions\nEngineering time is spent executing, not resolving coordination gaps or ambiguity\nProgram data is accurate, current, and trusted across the organization\nRequirements\n3+ years of experience as an Engineering Program Manager, Technical Program Manager, or similar execution-focused role.\nHardware industry experience with a focus in electrical and software engineering\nPrior experience at a B2B startup\nBachelors Degree within science, technology, engineering and/or math fields;
