Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), 5G/6G Wireless
$161,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 9 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Manage program execution for customer collaborations with wireless chipset and device makers, ensuring commitments arrive on customer ready-to-use dates. The portfolio spans research testbeds, pre-standard test systems, protocol and physical-layer enablement, and demonstration milestones.
What you'll do
- Own the daily program record and plan of record for each engagement, tracking shipment, installation, configuration, acceptance, and first measurements.
- Facilitate internal and customer-facing program meetings, assigning action items with due dates and driving follow-up to closure.
- Track commitments and risks across R&D, firmware, planning, services, and support, escalating schedule risks to Wireless leadership.
- Perform readiness sign-offs by verifying the evidence behind schedule dates and readiness claims before customer submission.
- Deliver weekly written status updates, monthly program readouts, quality reports, and written root cause and recovery plans for missed customer milestones.
What you'll need
- 8 or more years of technical, customer, or engineering program management in wireless, semiconductor, or test and measurement.
- Experience delivering complex, cross-functional programs in a customer-facing environment through teams outside direct reporting lines.
- Working knowledge of cellular systems, including 4G, 5G, the standards path to 6G, the modem and device development cycle, and test equipment deployment and acceptance.
- Fluency in program mechanics such as plans of record, critical path, schedule trend against baseline, risk registers, and recovery actions.
- Experience working directly with Director-level and above stakeholders within confidential development programs.
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Ability to travel to customer sites as required by program engagements.
