Hardware Project Manager

Hardware Project Manager – VR Headset (Neurotech/Wearables)

We're working with a venture-backed, early-stage hardware-software startup building a next-generation VR headset platform with integrated biosensing (EEG, PPG, eye tracking, and related physiological sensors). We're hiring a Hardware Project Manager to drive execution across mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, validation, operations, and manufacturing as we move through EVT, DVT, PVT, and into production ramp.

What you'll do:

• Own integrated program execution across hardware, firmware, software, and supplier/CM partners
• Build and maintain schedules, dependency maps, risk registers, and issue trackers
• Lead build readiness across Proto → EVT → DVT → PVT phases
• Drive cross-functional resolution of integration issues (signal quality, EMI/EMC, connectors, thermal, comfort, manufacturability)
• Coordinate with suppliers and contract manufacturers on DFM/DFA/DFT, tooling, and yield
• Translate technical status into clear updates for leadership and cross-functional teams

What we're looking for:

• 5-10+ years in hardware/technical program or project management, product development, or a related engineering role
• Experience through at least one full product cycle (prototype → production)
• Comfort understanding technical tradeoffs well enough to challenge assumptions and drive closure — not just track a calendar
• Bonus: experience with VR/AR headsets, wearables, biosignal devices, or compact consumer electronics
