## Description (the employer's text)

### Company Overview

Echo Neurotechnologies is an exciting new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.

### Team Culture

Join a small, dedicated team of knowledgeable and motivated professionals. Our early-stage environment offers the opportunity to take ownership of broad decisions with significant and long-lasting impact. We emphasize continuous learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration where your contributions are vital to our success.

### SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager (Electronics) with a strong background in electrical engineering, firmware architecture, embedded electronics, medical devices, design verification and validation (V&V), and knowledge of medical device design controls. In this role, you will lead cross-functional engineering teams in the development, integration, and delivery of complex electromechanical devices, embedded firmware systems, and custom ASIC architectures.

### PRIMARY ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Senior Technical Program Manager (Electronics), you will be responsible for managing the end-to-end execution of a novel medical device program at the electronics system level, ensuring collaboration and communication across the core teams and leaders, as well as compliance with regulatory and quality requirements. This position requires a unique balance of strategic leadership and technical depth—the ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams while also engaging in detailed technical discussions with engineers. You will use your leadership skills to help the team problem-solve, drive decision-making, and deliver results.

- Program lead for cross-functional engineering teams; proactively drive planning and execution across Electrical Engineering (EE), Firmware (FW), Systems, Quality, and Manufacturing teams.
- Drive end-to-end alignment between EE and FW teams to ensure seamless hardware-software co-design, board bring-up, signal integrity, and system-level debugging.
- Oversee technical execution and lifecycle deliverables for custom ASIC components, embedded electronics, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces.
- Manage and influence relationships with internal and external partners, including ASIC designers, PCB fabricators, firmware contractors, external test labs, and manufacturing partners across all development phases (IDE, clinical trials, PMA).
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for program status, clearly communicating architecture trade-offs, technical risks, schedule dependencies, and mitigation strategies.
- Develop and execute detailed program roadmaps, including HW board spins, FW sprint milestones, risk management, and resource allocation.
- Lead project design control deliverables under FDA and ISO standards (including IEC 62304 and ISO14971), such as EE/FW Architecture specifications, Risk Analyses, DVT, MVP, and V&V execution.
- Use Jira, Smartsheet, Confluence, and Agile/Scrum tracking tools to manage firmware releases, hardware revision cycles, sprints, and project progress with clear team accountability.
- Provide technical leadership during design reviews, circuit/firmware root-cause problem solving, and risk assessments using deep engineering fundamentals.
- Proactively identify program bottlenecks, hardware lead-time risks, and firmware resource gaps, driving immediate technical solutions to ensure timely milestone delivery.
- Foster a culture of engineering innovation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and continuous process improvement.
### QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (e.g., Biomedical, Electrical, Computer or related field).
- 7-10+ years of program management or engineering leadership experience spanning hardware concept development to production release.
- Strong technical background in electrical engineering, embedded firmware, electronics architecture, and understanding of V&V activities for electromechanical systems.
