Technical Program Manager, Hardware
Hark, San Jose +1
The role
As our first Hardware Technical Program Manager, based at our San Jose office, you'll be the technical leader who takes Hark's devices from engineering builds to mass production. You'll sit alongside our product design, electrical, and systems teams in San Jose, and partner closely with our in-region program manager in Asia to land every build at our contract manufacturers and suppliers. This role is part program leader, part hands-on engineer: you'll own schedules and escalations, and you'll also be on the factory floor driving root causes. You'll help shape how Hark builds hardware and grow the TPM team as we scale.
What you will do
- Serve as technical leader for manufacturing operations across final assembly and subassembly sites.
- Drive build preparation and execution with Hark engineering teams in San Jose and our contract manufacturers.
- Drive supplier, OEM, and CM selection and qualification: RFQs and SOWs, tooling and capex plans, capability studies, capacity and lead-time commitments, and recovery plans.
