What You Bring

  • Experience: 5+ years managing technical R&D projects/programs in embedded systems/consumer electronics or similar multi-disciplinary environments.
  • Core Background: Software engineering foundation (required); electrical/electronic knowledge (nice to have).
  • Systems Mindset: Comfortable spanning SW/FW, HW, Mech, QA, App - with a track record of delivering integrated products.
  • Execution Skills: Mastery of scheduling, critical path, dependency/risk management, and change control.
  • Tools: Jira/Confluence, MS Project/Smartsheet, PLM (Arena or similar), Git-based workflows; familiarity with requirements tools (Jama/DOORS) a plus.
  • Domain Plus: Experience with Bluetooth, audio/DSP, RF, batteries, environmental reliability, and NPI with EMS/CMs is advantageous.
  • Communication: Clear, data-driven communicator; stakeholder and vendor management across time zones.
  • Education: B.Sc. in Software/Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics, or related. Advanced degrees are a plus.
  • Certifications (Preferred): PMP, PMI-ACP, or Scrum Master.

Why join Cardo?

  • Build products riders love - where embedded software meets premium audio and rugged industrial design.
  • Work end-to-end: concept → validation → mass production → continuous improvement.
  • Great people, practical processes, and a culture that ships.
