Original job description

Ottawa, ON | Hybrid (Open to relocation within Canada)

Compensation: $140,000-$180,000 CAD + benefits

I'm currently partnering with an innovative technology company developing next generation optical networking and connectivity products used across telecommunications, networking infrastructure, and data communications environments.

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead complex cross-functional product development programs spanning hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams.

This is a highly visible role where you'll help drive new products from PoC through production, working closely with engineering leadership while coordinating globally distributed teams and ensuring products are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned to business objectives.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead complex technology and hardware development programs from concept through commercial release
Develop and manage integrated project plans, schedules, milestones, dependencies, and resource requirements
Coordinate activities across electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, quality, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams
Drive execution against scope, schedule, cost, and quality objectives
Identify project risks early, develop mitigation plans, and proactively manage issues throughout the product lifecycle
Facilitate design reviews, technical reviews, roadmap discussions, and project governance activities
Partner closely with Product Management and Engineering Leadership on prioritization and delivery planning
Support New Product Introduction (NPI), manufacturing readiness, and production ramp activities
Communicate project status, risks, dependencies, and key metrics to senior leadership and executive stakeholders
Drive collaboration and alignment across geographically dispersed engineering teams

What They're Looking For

5+ years of Project Management experience leading cross-functional product development programs
Experience managing hardware, telecommunications, networking, embedded systems, photonics, or technology focused engineering projects
Strong understanding of the product development lifecycle from concept through production
Experience working with tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or similar
Strong leadership, communication, stakeholder management, and problem solving skills
Ability to influence teams and drive outcomes without direct authority

Nice To Have

Optical networking, optical communications, optical transceivers, coherent optics, photonics, or telecommunications infrastructure experience
Experience supporting NPI and manufacturing transitions
Exposure to embedded systems, hardware validation, qualification, or verification activities
PMP certification or equivalent project management credentials
Experience managing globally distributed engineering teams
Understanding of hardware development processes and product qualification activities

If you're an experienced Project Manager with a background in hardware development, telecommunications, optical networking, photonics, or embedded systems, I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
