This individual will be responsible for driving large-scale technical programs from initial planning and discovery through development, testing, deployment, and delivery. The role will work across numerous engineering teams and workstreams, requiring someone who can bring structure to highly complex initiatives, proactively identify dependencies and risks, and keep teams aligned toward common delivery goals.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter and strong delivery driver who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced engineering environment with evolving priorities. This person must be technically savvy enough to understand complex software, networking, device, and connectivity initiatives while possessing the program leadership skills to coordinate delivery across a large number of teams.

Key Responsibilities:
* Lead complex technical programs and projects across WiFi, connectivity, CPE, software, and engineering organizations
* Own program delivery from inception and requirements through development, testing, deployment, and production delivery
* Create and drive detailed program and project plans involving potentially 20-30 teams and/or workstreams
* Coordinate dependencies across engineering, product, architecture, testing, operations, and other technical teams
* Establish program roadmaps, milestones, schedules, success metrics, and delivery expectations
* Track progress against program plans and proactively identify risks, issues, dependencies, and potential delivery impacts
* Drive issues to resolution and ensure appropriate ownership and accountability across workstreams
* Provide clear, concise program status and delivery reporting to working teams, management, directors, and senior leadership
* Facilitate communication and coordination across multiple projects and technical teams

* Strong stakeholder management, collaboration, facilitation, and organizational skills
* Strong technical aptitude and ability to understand complex engineering concepts, architectures, and dependencies
* Knowledge of or exposure to routers, modems, Wi-Fi extenders, or other connected-device technologies
* Exposure to streaming telemetry, network reliability, device performance, or connectivity optimization initiatives
* Ability to operate independently and proactively in a fast-paced, constantly evolving engineering environment
* Demonstrated ability to identify opportunities for process and delivery improvements rather than simply maintaining existing processes

This role will support current and emerging initiatives across the WiFi/CPE connectivity portfolio, which may include:
* Wi-Fi optimization
* Next-generation Wi-Fi technologies, including early-stage Wi-Fi 8 initiatives
* Wi-Fi extenders and related connectivity solutions
* Router and modem technology
