We are incredibly excited about the progress of the movement, the tremendous growth of the industry, and inspired every day by our opportunity to help change lives through cannabis. Our culture is focused on putting people at the center of everything we do, making an impact together, and having fun along the way. Our team has an unparalleled passion for the plant and has helped build business at the forefront of consumer experience and well-being, including Apple, Google, Uber, Fitbit, Constellation, Honest Company, Beauty Counter, Eaze, Curaleaf, Wyld and more. PAX has raised over $430MM in capital from leading consumer and technology investors and is available for sale in some capacity in more than 40 countries around the world.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Reporting directly to the Director of Product Development, PAX is looking for an Engineering Program Manager (EPM) responsible for design, development, and support of PAX hardware products.

PAX EPMs are responsible for managing and communicating project definition, development milestones, project schedules, validation / FA / CA, and project status in the development of new products. This role will immediately manage a high volume hardware program and be responsible for driving and establishing processes and best practices for engineering product development. This role will be a key gap-filler in the organization to ensure every aspect of our hardware team is running smoothly with great program management hygiene.

As a PAX EPM, you will :

  • Drive process development, improvements, and best practices consistent with a world class hardware product development organization.
  • Own and oversee program schedules and NPI build phase gates, while ensuring high risk areas have mitigation strategies and actions in place.
  • Mediate between hardware and the rest of the PAX organization. Collaborate closely with Engineering, PLM, Operations and Product to execute on HW programs through DVT and ensure a smooth transition to Operations at PVT.
  • Drive strong program management hygiene including project meeting cadence, bug / action item tracking, and engagement with external design and manufacturing partners.
  • Create clear and consistent presentations to executive leadership on project status and schedules.
  • Travel to support manufacturing builds and ensure factory engagement best practices are established.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 7+ years of proven experience in hardware-focused engineering program management.
  • Broad technical background. Direct experience as a hardware engineer (electrical, mechanical, or embedded / firmware) is desired.
  • Strong track record of shipping products and managing them through their entire life cycle.
  • Experience working with Asian design and manufacturing partners and supply chains, including travel to manufacturing sites to run NPI builds.
  • Ability to focus on details and a resourcefulness to drive issues until they are resolved.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, presentation, and data analytics skills.
  • Experience with project management software and communication tools (we use Confluence / JIRA, Google Workspace, and others).
  • Previous experience with medical devices or other regulated products is desired.
  • Ability to work on-site preferred, remote opportunities available for outstanding candidates.
  • Domestic and International travel is expected — up to 25%.
  • THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL

  • Have seen multiple product cycles from start to finish and have experience shipping consumer hardware at high volume.
  • Be technical enough to easily understand a wide variety of issues — from firmware to UX, electrical to mechanical, reliability, manufacturing, and logistics.
  • Be a creative problem solver and make data-driven decisions.
  • Be hyper organized — you won’t hesitate to fix something that’s disorganized or broken.
  • Have a natural tendency to identify inefficiencies and take action to resolve them.
  • Effectively lead and influence others, driving decisions cross-functionally across the org.
  • Have an interest in cannabis.
  • Mandarin fluency is a plus, but not a requirement.
  • EDUCATION

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, related discipline, or demonstrated experience.
  • PAX PERKS & BENEFITS

  • Competitive compensation, equity & bi-annual performance reviews
  • Fully funded comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401K plan
  • Generous PTO policy
  • Monthly wellness reimbursement
  • Cell Phone reimbursement
  • Employee Purchase Program for discounted PAX devices
  • Weekly catered lunch, endless snacks and beverages
  • Dog Friendly HQ in the Mission District of San Francisco
  • Employee Assistance Program including access to online legal support
  • COMPENSATION

    In addition to the benefits above, this role has a pay range between $150,000-190,000 + equity. This pay range represents what we believe, in good faith, this role will pay. The final pay will depend on many factors, including years and depth of experience, level, and location of the employee. We only expect to pay the top of the range in rare and exceptional circumstances, for candidates that far exceed the requirements and expectations of the position.
