Project Manager - Embedded Software

Job description

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead delivery within a highly complex embedded software program involving multiple cross-functional engineering teams (Hardware, FPGA, Software, Database, and Systems).

This role goes beyond traditional project coordination. You will act as the delivery backbone, driving technical conversations, ensuring accountability across teams, and maintaining momentum in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating at the intersection of engineering and execution — someone who can translate complexity into clarity and ensure that commitments turn into results.

Location: On site in Markham

Responsibilities

• Drive and actively participate in cross-functional technical meetings across Hardware, FPGA, Software, Database, and Systems teams
• Translate technical discussions into clear action items, deliverables, and updates within project management tools
• Ensure end-to-end follow-up on all commitments, tracking them through to completion
• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early, and escalate proactively
• Challenge assumptions and validate technical estimates to ensure feasibility and alignment
• Maintain strong alignment with program leadership on delivery status, risks, and critical path
• Coordinate multiple concurrent workstreams while ensuring cross-team synchronization
• Enforce accountability and delivery discipline without compromising team collaboration
• Continuously monitor progress and ensure nothing falls through the cracks

Requirements

Technical Background

• Solid understanding of embedded software development environments
• Familiarity with hardware-software integration (FPGA, real-time systems, databases is a strong plus)
• Ability to understand and challenge technical discussions, even without hands-on coding

Project Management Experience

• 5+ years of experience in technical project management within engineering environments
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-team, fast-paced programs
• Strong knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies (Scrum Master experience is a plus)
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar

Behavioral Profile

• High level of ownership and accountability — you ensure closure, not just progress
• Ability to work in high-intensity, fast-moving environments
• Strong resilience and ability to perform under pressure
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical topics
• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills

Expected Compensation Range:
50K-100K. The final compensation offered will be determined based on the candidate’s level of experience, skills, and qualifications, in compliance with applicable pay transparency requirements.
