Job Description

We are seeking a Sr Software TPM who combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership skills to drive complex programs across embedded systems, hardware, and cloud infrastructure. This position requires a balance of organizational skills and technical understanding—the ability to keep multi-disciplinary teams aligned while actively engaging in technical discussions with engineers. You will use your program management skills to help the team problem-solve, track deliverables, and execute reliably.

Role Responsibilities

The Sr Software TPM is a leadership role responsible for driving the planning, coordination, and execution of complex software and systems programs across embedded devices, cloud infrastructure, and custom hardware. This position requires a unique balance of project management oversight and technical knowledge—the ability to lead software teams, along with cross-functional teams, while also engaging in technical discussions and planning with engineers.

Drive execution for cross-functional software programs across embedded firmware (e.g., Rust), data pipelines (e.g., Python), and cloud platforms.
Track development timelines for safety-critical and patient-facing Class III medical device systems.
Develop and manage sprint plans, support backlog prioritization, and facilitate daily stand-ups and retrospectives.
Coordinate workstreams across embedded, cloud, and systems integration teams.
Collaborate closely with engineering leads to ensure technical alignment and on-time delivery.
Serve as a key point of contact for program status, communicating progress, risks, and mitigations to core teams and stakeholders.
Track velocity, monitor risks, identify interdependencies, and surface issues across multidisciplinary teams.
Maintain project plans, including schedules, risk logs, and resource tracking aligned with program objectives.
Use Jira, Smartsheet, Confluence and related project tools to manage tasks, sprints, and progress tracking for team visibility.
Identify program challenges and resource bottlenecks, working with teams to resolve issues and meet key milestones.
Support alignment of architecture and integration decisions across embedded, cloud, and data systems with program goals.
Promote best practices in code quality, documentation, and regulatory traceability across GitHub workflows and Jira.
Leverage background in software engineering to engage in technical discussions with the engineering team.
Foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement within project teams.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field).
7+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record of driving software sprints and keeping engineering teams on track.
Self-starter mindset with proven ability to run multi-track, cross-functional projects across software, cloud, and hardware integrations.
Hands-on experience running Agile/Hybrid workflows, leading sprint planning, managing backlogs, and maintaining daily momentum.
Proficiency with project management tools (Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet) to build trackers, dashboards, and maintain execution visibility.
Familiarity with GitHub workflows and DevOps/CI-CD pipelines to align with software development cycles.
