Technical Program Manager

ABOUT OLIX
AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
THE ROLE
We are hiring a Technical Program Manager to deliver end-to-end technical program execution across hardware, software, optics and manufacturing - setting the structure, aligning teams, and driving critical programs from R&D through to on-time mass manufactured product delivery.
As Technical Program Manager, you will run a number of programs critical to OLIX’s delivery. You’ll partner closely with engineering to set direction, identify blockers, implement risk mitigations and report on status. You’ll take ownership of cross-functional delivery within your programs, ensuring reliable, high-quality execution in areas critical to OLIX's roadmap.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technical programs from initiation through to completion.
- Define and maintain program plans, milestones, dependencies, and critical path across multiple workstreams.
- Drive alignment between engineering, product, and business stakeholders on scope, priorities, and trade-offs.
- Run structured program cadences: planning sessions, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
- Identify, track, and mitigate risks and blockers before they impact delivery.
- Manage vendor and partner relationships through scope changes, timeline conflicts, and commercial negotiations
- Maintain clear program documentation: decisions logs, status reports, shared technical information.
- Hold work stream leads and engineers accountable to commitments without direct line authority.
- Escalate effectively and concisely when decisions need senior input.
- Continuously improve delivery processes, tooling, and ways of working across the program.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
- Broad engineering background with some technical experience across hardware, software and manufacturing.
- 3+ years in a TPM, program management, or senior project management role in a technical environment.
- Proven track record delivering multi-disciplinary programs at scale with multiple interdependent teams.
- Strong engineering literacy: able to engage credibly on technical trade-offs without being the domain expert.
- Strong stakeholder management up to VP; comfortable holding people to account
- Fluent in program management best practices.
- Structured thinker with high attention to detail and an ability to bring clarity to an otherwise high-ambiguity development environment.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments.
COMPENSATION & EQUITY
- Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location
- Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options. You’re not just joining the mission; you’re owning a piece of it
- Proximity Bonus: We value your time. To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office
- Retirement Benefits: Employer-contributed retirement plans to help you build long-term financial security
