Technical Project Manager

You

We’re looking for a technically savvy and strategically minded Technical Project Manager to take the lead on complex, multidisciplinary projects. In this role you’ll be a key connector – bridging technical depth with high-level project direction. You will lead cross-functional engineering teams (systems, electronics, mechanical, firmware, and software) and manage external stakeholders (clients and manufacturing partners) from concept through to production and ongoing support.

This role is for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys working at the intersection of technology and people and has the capacity to manage multiple concurrent projects. You will be a key technical leader, providing guidance during design phases, driving product outcomes, continuous improvement, and supporting the business in adopting tools like AI to enhance both innovation and efficiency.
