Senior Software Release Technical Program Manager

Who you are

• Deep Technical Program Management: Expert ability to manage the full, complex, end-to-end product development for hardware systems, spanning both Mechanical/Electrical Engineering and the integrated software/firmware stack
• NPI/Product Lifecycle Expertise: Proven track record of successfully guiding products through New Product Introduction (NPI) phases, specifically managing EVT, DVT, PVT, and MP in a high-tech/data center environment
• Executive Communication & Influence: Exceptional ability to synthesize and communicate complex program information and business strategy to executive leadership, effectively leading decision-making reviews
• Financial Acumen & Business Strategy: Demonstrated skill in program budget management, product cost analysis, and using financial data to influence strategic program direction and scope

What the job involves

• You will be the pivotal, end-to-end owner driving the product lifecycle for our cutting-edge data center storage solutions. Your mission is to translate product vision into Mass Production (MP) reality, managing all aspects of the hardware (Mechanical and Electrical Engineering) and the full software stack (firmware, OS)
• This highly visible role requires you to orchestrate global, cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams while leading executive-level phase gate reviews to ensure our products deliver optimal performance and compliance, on time and on budget
• End-to-End Release Ownership: Own the overall release plan, including scope, milestones, and dependencies. You’ll be the primary point of contact for release lines across Product, Engineering, QA, and Security
• Strategic Program Leadership: Manage multiple concurrent workstreams involving cross-functional stakeholders. You will own the "big picture," ensuring that high-level technical architecture aligns with execution
• Release Integrity: Own release branch health metrics. You’ll lead bug scrubs, triage critical issues, and define the criteria for merging new payloads (leveraging your experience with Git-based workflows)
• Operational Excellence: Drive the Product Lifecycle (PLC) phase exit reviews (Phases 0–3). You will define exit criteria, ensure they are met, and formally drive approvals
• Risk & Conflict Resolution: Identify critical paths, bottlenecks, and risks early. You’ll facilitate technical decision-making and resolve conflicts across team boundaries to keep the engine moving
• Financial & Resource Stewardship: Responsible for Capex planning. You will ensure spend is within bounds through accurate monthly, quarterly, and yearly accounting
• Continuous Improvement: Lead post-release retrospectives. You aren’t just looking for what went wrong; you’re a change agent identifying process optimizations to accelerate time-to-market
• We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave
