Mission statement

Join a high-impact, global R&D organization developing next-generation residential broadband solutions. As a Senior Hardware Project Manager, you will lead the end-to end hardware development of advanced routers and gateway products, working with cross-functional engineering teams across hardware, RF, software, and mechanical domains. In this role, you will drive the successful design, development, and industrialization of innovative broadband products. You will ensure technical excellence, cost efficiency, and timely delivery across the full product lifecycle—from concept to mass production.

Your responsibilities will include:

•Lead hardware development programs for residential broadband devices (routers, gateways, CPE). •Define and validate system architecture, ensuring optimal trade-offs between performance, cost, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance.

•Balance custom design vs. reference design strategies to optimize differentiation, risk, and time-to-market.

•Drive a Design-to-Cost strategy and optimize BOM and sourcing decisions throughout the product lifecycle.

•Plan, prioritize, and manage workload across multidisciplinary teams, tracking progress using KPIs and milestones.

•Review and approve hardware, RF, and mechanical designs (PCB, antennas, enclosure integration). •Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering to optimize PCB form factors, thermal design, and I/O layout.

•Oversee full product validation: internal testing, qualification, and customer acceptance phases. •Manage external suppliers and partners, including component vendors and design houses.

•Lead certification activities (FCC, UL, PTCRB, etc.), including lab selection, documentation, and coordination.

•Ensure seamless integration with software teams for optimal system-level performance. •Define and review manufacturing test strategies and specifications.

•Support manufacturing during prototyping, ramp-up, and high-volume production.

•Analyze field issues and customer feedback; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions. •Partner with Procurement to manage cost structures, sourcing risks, and component lifecycle.

• Identify and qualify second-source components to ensure supply continuity.

•Communicate program status, risks, and technical progress to senior management.
