Sr. Technical Program Manager (Sr. TPM)

Job DetailsJob Location: AUSTIN, TX 78758The Role Screen Innovations is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive cross-functional execution across our hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams. This is a hands-on role for someone who can bring structure to fast-moving, engineering-driven product development without slowing it down — someone equally comfortable in a factory walkthrough and a sprint planning meeting. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Product, Manufacturing/Operations, and executive leadership to plan, de-risk, and ship new products — from motorized shade systems and screen materials to the connected-home electronics (like Janus) that control them. QualificationsWhat You'll Do Own end-to-end program planning and execution for major product initiatives, spanning mechanical/industrial design, electrical/firmware engineering, embedded software, and manufacturing readiness Build and maintain program roadmaps, schedules, and dependency maps across hardware and software workstreams, and keep leadership informed with clear, honest status reporting Identify risks early — supply chain, tooling, design, integration — and drive mitigation plans before they become fire drills Facilitate cross-functional rituals (planning, standups, design reviews, gate reviews) that keep engineering, product, and operations aligned without adding unnecessary process overhead Coordinate new product introduction (NPI) from concept through pilot production and full manufacturing ramp on the factory floor Work directly with suppliers and internal manufacturing/operations teams to align component availability, tooling, and production timelines with program milestones Manage scope and trade-off decisions in partnership with product management and engineering leads, keeping programs on schedule and within budget Champion continuous improvement of program management practices, tooling, and documentation as SI's product portfolio grows   What We're Looking For 6+ years of experience in technical program or project management, with a track record of shipping physical/hardware products that include embedded electronics or connected-home/IoT components Demonstrated ability to manage programs that span mechanical engineering, electrical/firmware engineering, and manufacturing — not just software Strong working knowledge of NPI processes, from prototype through pilot to volume production Comfortable reading and reasoning about schedules, BOMs, and technical trade-offs well enough to challenge engineers and hold teams accountable Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical complexity into clear updates for both engineers and executives Experience working directly with manufacturing operations and/or suppliers, ideally in a facility that designs and builds its own hardware A bias toward action and pragmatic problem-solving — comfortable in a company where things move quickly and priorities can shift Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience) Nice to have: Experience with smart home, AV, or building automation products Familiarity with LEAN manufacturing principles PMP, PgMP, or similar program management certification Experience with PLM/PDM tools and program management software (e.g., Jira, Asana, Smartsheet)
