Job Description: Reporting to the Director of Customer Engineering, the Technical Program Manager (TPM) is the operational engine of our customer engagements. This is not a standard project management role; it requires a process-oriented leader who can create order out of the "chaos" of multiple simultaneous threads. You will navigate the internal development cycles of Hyperscalers and other Tier-1 customers to ensure our silicon and software are integrated at scale, from concept to production. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: • Operational Orchestration: Create order and clear processes out of complex, competing technical threads to ensure customer program success. • Hyperscale Alignment: Act as the internal expert on Hyperscaler development cycles, ensuring Xsight’s delivery aligns with customer-specific processes and milestones. • Program Lifecycle Leadership: Manage customer projects through the entire lifecycle—from initial concept and implementation to production and massivescale deployment. • Cross-Functional Advocacy: Balance the "Voice of the Customer" with Xsight's internal resource needs, collaborating with PLM, Sales, and R&D to resolve issues. • High-Velocity Execution: Drive technical progress at an extreme velocity, managing multiple customer projects with often conflicting priorities. • Executive Presence: Represent Xsight in high-stakes technical meetings, using strong influence and communication skills to drive alignment across global teams.
