Technical Project Lead

SUMMARY:   

As a Technical Project Lead (TPL) at Seek Thermal you will own the technical critical path of one or more new-product programsthe chain of design decisions integrations and verifications that determines whether the product works and ships. You will be accountable for design outputs design reviews and technical trade-offsworking alongside program management while coordinating engineering across electrical mechanical software/firmware optics and systems to bring LWIR thermal imaging products from concept through production. The Technical Project Lead will report directly to the SVP of Engineering.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own the technical critical path of new product development (NPD) programs through phase gates (concept through DV PV and production release)know at all times which technical task gates the program and keep the multidisciplinary team focused on it.
• Ensure design outputs and design-review materials are complete and defensible at every gate and provide the technical readiness signal for gate sign-off.
• Make and document technical trade-offs (e.g. image quality runtime cost architecture) with cross-functional approval for scope and design changes.
• Identify technical risks early assess their critical-path impact and drive mitigation of technical exposure across the program.
• Assign engineering tasks drive technical status at program meetings in step with program management and own design documentation and approvals per Seeks design-control process.
• Drive root-cause and corrective action (8D) when sensor manufacturing or integration failures threaten a milestone
• Ensure PRD requirements are testable and verification is defined before design gates; pull hardware/software integration risks off the critical path early.
• Provide technical deliverables (SOWs specifications) for supplier engagements and represent engineering with customers change control boards and leadership.

SKILLS KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES:

• Hands-on embedded systems depth (e.g. RTOS debugging multicore SoC/MPSoC platforms I2C/SPI MIPI CSI hardware/software co-design) with independent technical judgment.
• Experience developing products under structured quality and development processes (e.g. functional safety ASPICE ISO 9001 or similar) within formal design controls.
• Fluency with phase-gate development PRD/requirements management DV/PV verification 8D RASIC and planning tools (Jira SmartSheets).
• Proven technical coordinator of distributed cross-functional teams and a clear communicatorholds a technical position escalates cleanly and commits once decided.

Preferred: thermal/IR imaging (FPA/ROIC NUC/AGC LWIR optics) automotive qualification semiconductor packaging/yield analysis Agile/Scrum leadership

Qualifications :

    Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Software Engineering Mechatronics Physics Optical Engineering or related field.
    5 years of engineering experience including 2 years owning the technical critical path of embedded hardware/software programs with at least one shipped sensing or electro-optical product taken through production.
    Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen lawful permanent resident or protected individual) as required by ITAR/EAR export control regulations.
