A bit about us:
The Program Manager – Product Development will drive cross-functional programs that bring together hardware, embedded systems, and consumer-facing software applications. This is a high-visibility role where you’ll align global teams, manage New Product Introduction (NPI) processes, and ensure on-time, on-budget delivery of next-generation connected products.
This is not a traditional IT or software project management role — we need someone who understands end-to-end product development, from concept through launch, where physical devices and software come together.
Why join us?
Opportunity to play a key role in the launch of globally recognized, innovative products. Work in a collaborative, creative, and customer-first culture that values curiosity and transparency. Hybrid (mostly reote) Nashville HQ environment with flexibility to collaborate across global teams.
Job Details
Key Responsibilities
Lead new product introduction (NPI) programs from early design through launch, integrating hardware, firmware, and companion applications. Develop project charters, timelines, and risk mitigation plans; oversee execution across global teams. Drive cross-functional alignment among engineering, product, UX, supply chain, and marketing. Coordinate with teams in other countries, ensuring smooth global collaboration and accountability. Prepare program dashboards and reports, providing regular updates to senior leadership. Manage compliance with regulatory standards (UL, CE, FCC, etc.) where relevant. Adapt between stage-gate and Agile/hybrid methodologies depending on program needs. Collaborate with external suppliers and vendors for key program deliverables.
Looking for:
5+ years of program or product development management experience in consumer products, appliances, electronics, or connected devices. Proven background delivering hardware + software + connectivity programs (IoT, mobile apps, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, embedded systems) - You don't have to have experience with all of this, but the more the better! Strong NPI/product development knowledge, including design freezes, prototyping, and production readiness. Experience managing and aligning globally distributed teams across multiple time zones. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to report to executive stakeholders and gain consensus across diverse teams. Familiarity with Agile/Scrum or SAFe; PMP, PMI-ACP, or similar certifications preferred. Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline; advanced degree a plus.
