Job description
Join a fast-paced manufacturing operations team as a Technical Program Manager focused on bringing structure, clarity, and visibility to critical engineering work. This hands-on role blends on-the-floor collaboration, technical documentation, and program management to help keep builds, milestones, and cross-functional actions moving forward.
Responsibilities
Translate spreadsheet-based tracking into organized Jira workflows, dashboards, and issue structures that fit how the team operates. Connect data across tools and reporting sources to create a reliable view of program status, material readiness, build progress, and risks. Build and maintain leadership-ready dashboards that surface real-time updates on milestones, open actions, and operational blockers. Draft and update technical documentation such as SOPs, build procedures, process notes, decision logs, and status reports. Work closely with engineers and operators on the production floor to identify issues firsthand and help remove blockers in person. Lead meeting cadence, capture decisions and action items, and ensure follow-through on commitments. Track cross-functional tasks across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality, keeping priorities and risks visible. Look for opportunities to streamline repetitive reporting and automate recurring data collection where possible.
Skills
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Technical Communication, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience. At least 3 years of experience in technical program management, project coordination, or a similar role within hardware, manufacturing, or engineering environments. Strong Jira skills, including project setup, workflow configuration, custom fields, dashboards, and JQL. Experience moving tracking from spreadsheets into structured project management tools. Strong technical writing ability with the confidence to produce clear documentation from engineering direction. Comfort using Excel or Google Sheets for analysis, pivots, and reporting. Working familiarity with databases or tools such as Quickbase, including basic reporting and views. Comfort in a manufacturing setting and willingness to spend time on the floor with engineering and operations teams.
Preferred Skills
Experience supporting hardware NPI or manufacturing programs. Familiarity with build schedules, BOM tracking, material readiness, and engineering change processes. Experience with visualization or dashboard tools such as QuickSight, Tableau, or Power BI. Ability to support cross-functional work involving engineering, supply chain, quality, and manufacturing partners. Strong communication, organization, and follow-through in a dynamic environment.
