Technical Project Lead

About O-HIVE

O-HIVE is an AI and semiconductor technology company developing next-generation spatial intelligence solutions for robotics, industrial automation, and autonomous systems.

Our core technologies include Vision-Language Models (VLMs), AI-powered robotic systems, FPGA acceleration, and custom semiconductor (ASIC) design. We aim to bring intelligent visual perception, real-time decision-making, and autonomous functionality directly to edge devices.

We are seeking a highly organized and technically capable Project Lead to coordinate engineering projects across robotics, AI software, embedded systems, and semiconductor development.

Key Responsibilities1. Engineering Project Management

• Lead end-to-end project execution from initial requirements and technical planning through prototyping, validation, and deployment.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, milestones, technical deliverables, and resource allocation plans.
• Coordinate multiple engineering workstreams, ensuring projects remain aligned with business objectives, budgets, and deadlines.
• Monitor engineering progress, identify technical risks, and implement corrective actions to prevent delays.
• Establish clear project documentation, reporting procedures, and accountability across engineering teams.

2. Robotics & Automation Projects

• Coordinate the development and integration of robotic systems involving computer vision, AI inference, motion control, and industrial automation.
• Manage integration activities across mechanical, electrical, embedded software, and robotics engineering teams.
• Oversee robotic prototyping, hardware integration, testing, and customer demonstrations.
• Support engineering teams in validating system performance, operational reliability, and deployment readiness.
• Coordinate customer requirements and acceptance testing for industrial robotics applications.

3. Semiconductor & Chip Design Projects

• Coordinate ASIC, FPGA, and embedded hardware development activities, including design, simulation, verification, and prototyping.
• Track key semiconductor development milestones, including architecture definition, RTL development, design verification, physical design, tape-out preparation, and silicon validation.
• Facilitate collaboration between chip designers, AI engineers, firmware developers, and hardware integration teams.
• Coordinate technical dependencies involving semiconductor fabrication partners, component suppliers, and external engineering vendors.
• Maintain schedules and risk assessments for chip development, prototype manufacturing, and hardware validation.

4. Cross-Functional Engineering Coordination

• Serve as the primary coordination point between robotics, AI/VLM, ASIC/FPGA, embedded systems, and product engineering teams.
• Facilitate engineering meetings, technical reviews, sprint planning, and milestone assessments.
• Translate technical objectives into actionable assignments with clearly defined owners, deliverables, and deadlines.
• Coordinate engineering activities across O-HIVE's international teams and external technology partners.
• Identify resource constraints, technical dependencies, and opportunities to improve engineering productivity.

5. Reporting & Stakeholder Communication

• Prepare weekly project updates, development roadmaps, milestone reports, and risk assessments for executive leadership.
• Communicate project progress, technical challenges, and resource requirements to internal and external stakeholders.
• Coordinate customer-facing engineering meetings and technical demonstrations.
• Maintain engineering documentation, project specifications, test results, and delivery records.
• Support project budgeting, procurement coordination, and engineering resource planning.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in technical project management, engineering program management, or multidisciplinary engineering development.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating hardware and software engineering teams.
• Familiarity with robotics, embedded systems, semiconductor development, FPGA technologies, or AI-based systems.
• Strong understanding of engineering development lifecycles, from concept and prototype development through validation and deployment.
• Proficiency with project management and engineering collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Microsoft Project, or equivalent platforms.
• Ability to interpret technical documentation, engineering requirements, system architectures, and development schedules.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple complex engineering projects simultaneously.
