We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead and mature our OEM and ODM engagement model within the engineering organization. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, operations, and partner management—someone who can bring structure, clarity, and strategic direction to a complex outsourced hardware ecosystem.

In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end relationship with our product development partners, drive operational rigor across our outsourced development model, and collaborate closely with product, engineering and operations teams to translate roadmap priorities into executable plans. Your work will directly influence product quality, time-to-market, and the scalability of our hardware portfolio.
