Technical Program Manager Supplier Quality/Supply Chain
We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) with a background in hardware programs, supplier quality, and supply chain operations. This role requires someone who has worked at a small to mid-sized hardware company, where wearing multiple hats was the norm. The ideal candidate will be resourceful, operations-savvy, and capable of owning supply chain and supplier coordination without relying on step-by-step direction.
Scope:
Act as the primary point of contact for hardware supply chain projects, from component sourcing through delivery
Own supplier engagement: travel to manufacturing sites, build relationships with contract manufacturers (CMs), and manage onsite production support when needed
Handle purchasing, PO tracking, and coordination of Bill of Materials (BOMs) and hardware readiness
Monitor and manage supplier performance across quality, cost, and delivery metrics; maintain supplier scorecards
Collaborate with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams to track hardware development schedules and resolve cross-functional blockers
Navigate ambiguity in fast-paced environments by taking high-level objectives and independently defining the steps to execute
Drive supplier selection, negotiate deliverables, and work closely with OEM and third-party vendors
Required:
5+ years of experience in technical program management, particularly in hardware or electronics-based environments
Ability to manage multiple suppliers and CMs, balancing timelines, logistics, and deliverables
Comfortable working without step-by-step direction; thrives in environments with unclear paths and evolving priorities
Experience with logistics or international supply chain workflows
Exposure to supplier evaluation, OEM selection, and contract manufacturing models
Direct involvement in hardware supply chain management, especially around PCB and PCBA builds
Strong understanding of PCBA manufacturing, component sourcing, BOM structure, and cost drivers
Technical curiosity or hands-on inclination (e.g., a tinkerer ) with basic knowledge of testing and manufacturing processes
Willingness to travel (~10%) to supplier and CM sites as needed
Pluses:
Familiarity with gerber files, basic PCB troubleshooting, or board-level diagnostics
Ability to drive hardware development without waiting for SCM or engineering to initiate decisions
Previous experience working in or with companies like Western Digital or similar hardware OEMs
Estimated Min Rate: $40.00
Estimated Max Rate: $65.00
