About the Role

We are a growing consumer electronics SME delivering wearables, smart home devices, and networking products. We are looking for a hands-on and resourceful Hardware Development Project Manager to guide products from concept to mass production in a lean environment, without relying on a large PMOstructure.

The right person will be comfortable with schedules, cost models, technical details, supplier discussions, and senior stakeholder updates. They should be a strong active listener who can take complex technical input and turn it into clear actions, decisions, and practical business updates.

This role suits someone with calm confidence: able to make decisions, challenge assumptions, and hold people accountable, while remaining self-aware, collaborative, and respectful of technical expertise.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

Project ownership and delivery:

·  Own end-to-end hardware development schedules across multiple product lines, from concept through EVT,DVT, PVT, and MP.

·  Drive stage-gate discipline with clear actions, owners, due dates, decision logs, and current master trackers accessible to the full team.

·  Make timely, data-grounded decisions based on available information, while being willing to revisit decisions when new information justifies a change.

·  Coordinate mechanical, PCB, firmware, mobile app, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality workstreams across geographies and time zones.

·  Design and manage a practical communication cadence covering weekly cross-functional meetings, milestone reviews, supplier calls, leadership updates, and structured asynchronous follow-ups.

·  Run purposeful meetings with clear agendas, preparation expectations, time control, focused discussion, explicit decisions, owners, deadlines, and concise notes issued within 24hours.

·  Know when not to meet: resolve straightforward issues asynchronously, reduce unnecessary recurring meetings, and protect the team's focus time.

·  Translate technical complexity into plain language for non-technical founders and senior stakeholders, including concise PowerPoint updates showing key risks, decisions, and recommendations.

Listening, alignment, and stakeholder management:

·  Actively listen in cross-functional discussions, identify misalignment early, ensure the right voices are heard, and distil engineering, supply chain, factory, and leadership inputs into clear next steps.

·  Represent the project with quiet confidence to founders, senior leadership, suppliers, ODM/OEM partners, contract manufacturers, certification labs, and other external stakeholders.

·  Follow up with suppliers and partners firmly and professionally when commitments, deadlines, or deliverables are missed, while preserving working relationships.

Documentation, cost, quality, and risk control:

·  Own the SharePoint project environment, including schedules, BOMs, ECO logs, risk registers, certification trackers, decision records, naming conventions, and version control.

·  Build and maintain cost models covering BOM, tooling, NRE, landed cost per unit, tooling amortisation, assembly, freight, duties, and warranty reserves.

·  Track and report metrics such as schedule variance, defect rates, yield rates, ECO frequency, DPPM, first-pass yield, AQL sampling, cost-to-complete, and quantified cost/schedule impacts.

·  Manage regulatory certification timelines proactively, including FCC, CE, RoHS, SRRC, MIC, and related RF certification schedule risks.

·  Lead factory readiness reviews, oversee initial production ramp, own yield and quality data during PVT an dearly MP, and maintain a living risk register with impact and probability scoring.

Organisation and structured working:

·  Exceptionally organised by default, with a personal task management system that captures commitments, open items, follow-ups, and priorities.

·  Applies repeatable structure to schedules, trackers, logs, reports, version control, naming conventions, and file hygiene, so there is no ambiguity about the current source of truth.

·  Proactive rather than reactive: anticipates information needs, prepares in advance, manages time rigorously, brings order to ambiguity, and balances detail with the big picture.

Dispersed team and cross-time zone management:

·  Proven ability to manage geographically dispersed teams and external partners across multiple time zones, with strong asynchronous communication and decision-log discipline.

·  Designs time zone-conscious meeting schedules, rotates inconvenient slots where needed, minimises unnecessary live meetings, and is comfortable with routine early-morning or late-evening calls.

·  Culturally aware and experienced with Asian ODM/CM partners, including factory communication cadences, relationship dynamics, and regional working-style differences.

Confidence and interpersonal style:

·  Quietly self-confident: grounded, prepared, assured, and able to hold a room without needing to dominate it.

·  Decisive without being dogmatic; assertive without being aggressive; able to challenge assumptions, deliver difficult messages, escalate risks, and preserve professional relationships.

·  Self-aware and collaborative: comfortable with pushback, does not become defensive, says "I do not know- let me find out" when appropriate, and knows when to lean on others' expertise.

·  Earns trust through consistency, reliable follow-through, clear communication, sound judgement, autonomy, entrepreneurial problem solving, and outcomes rather than personal visibility.

·  Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities; highly autonomous in a lean SME environment without needing a large team or formal PMO structure.

·  ODM/CM, supplier, certification-lab, and internal relationships are managed with clear accountability, professional follow-through, and difficult conversations handled with clarity and composure.

·  Distributed team members feel informed, included, unblocked, and comfortable raising issues early; the PM's confidence is stabilising rather than intimidating.

·  Meetings are fewer, better, and more useful: each has a purpose, agenda, decision record, action owners, deadlines, and prompt notes.

·  The master tracker, action log, decision log, risk register, SharePoint library, cost model, and metrics dashboard are current, governed, and trusted as the source of truth.
