No BS summary
Senior technical program manager with 8–12 years in TPM, hardware program management, or lab/data center operations. Must have lab move/consolidation/facility transition experience and be able to coordinate hardware builds, lab capacity, inventory, and cross-functional engineering/manufacturing/supply-chain dependencies. Remote role hiring in North Carolina.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Technical Program Manager, Lab & Hardware Tracking is the R&D-side point of coordination for DDN's lab consolidation initiative and for hardware build support across engineering programs — keeping consolidation moving without disrupting active R&D work, and making sure engineering has the builds, systems, and lab capacity it needs, when it needs them.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Lab Consolidation Coordination
- Coordinate the lab consolidation initiative end to end — sequencing site moves, equipment migration, and decommissioning across teams
- Partner with facilities, IT, and hardware engineering on the consolidated lab layout (power, rack space, network) and migration timeline
- Track milestones, dependencies, and risks; escalate blockers that threaten program timelines or R&D continuity
R&D Build Support
- Serve as the R&D-side point of coordination for hardware build requests, ensuring engineering has the systems, prototypes, and test equipment it needs
- Track build status and dependencies, proactively flagging risks to program milestones
- Prioritize and sequence competing build and lab requests against program urgency and lab capacity
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 8–12 years of experience in technical program management, hardware program management, or lab/data center operations — including a lab move, consolidation, or facility transition
- Demonstrated experience coordinating hardware build schedules and dependencies with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams
- Strong cross-functional coordination skills; comfortable running a multi-workstream plan with competing priorities and hard deadlines
- Experience tracking physical hardware assets/inventory at scale, including through relocation or reconciliation efforts
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize status for engineering leadership
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Direct experience leading or supporting a lab consolidation, relocation, or data center/facility migration
- Background in enterprise storage, networking, servers, or HPC/AI infrastructure hardware
- PMP or equivalent program/project management certification
