This role requires the ability to understand technical issues, translate customer requirements into clear engineering tasks, and drive projects to meet agreed-upon schedule, quality, and cost targets.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer Requirements and Change Management: Gather and clarify customer requirements, technical specifications, and acceptance criteria. Assess the impact of changes on cost, resources, and schedules, and coordinate approval.
• Project Planning and Delivery: Develop and maintain project schedules, milestones, and delivery plans. Track engineering progress, material readiness, equipment builds, validation, and acceptance.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain, and field-service teams. Establish owners and deadlines, and drive issues and action items to closure.
• Technical Reviews and Problem Solving: Participate in schematic, PCB/PCBA, and test-plan reviews. Coordinate circuit debugging, system integration, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action validation.
• Customer Communication and Risk Management: Lead customer and internal project meetings, communicate progress and risks, propose practical solutions, manage customer expectations, and escalate critical issues.
• On-Site Support and Acceptance: Support customer-site installation, commissioning, validation, and final delivery. Maintain project and technical documentation.

• At least two years of hands-on PM, TPM, EPM, or equivalent project-management experience, including independent ownership of project schedules, cross-functional coordination, risk management, and delivery.
• Ability to read electrical schematics, PCB/PCBA documentation, BOMs, and test reports; participate in technical reviews; and coordinate engineering issue resolution. Familiarity with common test tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese, with the ability to independently lead customer technical and project meetings and prepare clear written updates.
• Strong requirements-management, customer-communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and proactively drive problem resolution.
• Ability to work on-site five days per week in the Bay Area, California, and accommodate evening meetings with teams in China, customer-site travel, and training in China as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working directly with major technology companies, OEMs, or consumer-electronics customers.
• Project-management experience with electronic test equipment, factory automation, or custom automated equipment.
• Familiarity with the full NPI lifecycle, including design, prototype builds, validation, production readiness, and delivery.
• Familiarity with FCT, ICT, DAQ, PLCs, sensors, motion control, or automated test systems.
• Experience with equipment integration, commissioning, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), or Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).
