We make it easy for anyone to turn an idea into a smart product and ship it to anywhere in the world. Our mission is to enable our customers to create smart and sustainable products on behalf of humanity.

We're looking for a seasoned technical program manager (TPM) who has defined and led the development of complex mobile or IoT devices, going from ideation to production through sustaining and sunset.  This position is critical for our next phase of growth and will work with the leadership team, product managers, and external partners on a daily basis.

What you’ll do:

You’ll help deliver our next generation of foundational hardware products that are core components of Mason’s enterprise solutions.  You’ll accomplish this by coordinating with numerous functions and external partners to plan, execute, and deliver these programs from start to finish.

  • Plan, execute, and deliver programs from start to finish.  Using a well-structured product development process, you will help the teams plan and deliver complex hardware programs from inception to production.

  • Create and refine our development processes.  Program management at Mason is all about efficiency.  As a TPM you will be looking for ways to run programs more smoothly and efficiently in the future, by conducting project retrospectives and refining our product development process accordingly.
  • Support external partnerships.  Work with key partners, vendors, and ODM/JDM/CMs to build, track and deliver our hardware programs.  Ensure communication is clear and rapid, and that key relationships stay healthy.
  • Communicate program status clearly.  Provide rolling updates on a program’s status in clear, concise language suitable for broad audiences.   Use well-summarized data to underline your statements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
