The Job:
- Build and continuously improve the TPM framework within the team, with the primary goal of shipping the best product as quickly as possible.
- Define and drive strategy, master planning, execution, and delivery for technically complex products — from concept through production.
- Act as the interface between global headquarters, local China teams, and suppliers to drive progress and ensure timely cross-team communication.
- Own project budgets, including headcount planning, establish and continuously optimize product cost models for assigned projects, and take responsibility for meeting target costs.
- Serve as the critical link between project teams and decision-makers — frequently update company leadership on progress and drive cross-functional collaboration, especially through key milestones and critical project risks.
- Communicate and partner effectively with R&D and manufacturing leadership — continuously monitor project progress, assess status, and proactively resolve issues as they arise.
You:
- Deep understanding of the hardware product development lifecycle and problem-solving processes — with the ability to apply technical knowledge to drive decision-making, including trade-off discussions and project strategy.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of experience managing technical programs, with demonstrated experience in building and owning program management processes. R&D background is a strong plus.
- Fluent in English as a working language, with excellent verbal and written communication skills in English — non-negotiable.
- Business-minded — experienced in building and controlling project cost models, with the ability to break down and track project progress from a financial perspective.
- Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills — passionate about continuously improving project efficiency, proactive, self-driven, with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through.
- Able to work cross-functionally across product, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams — equally effective as a program manager and as an outstanding individual contributor.
- Proven experience creating and implementing program management tools and processes, including communications, scheduling, risk management, resource planning, cost tracking, and production planning.
