Sr. Engineering Project Manager at TSI
The Sr. Engineering Project Manager for Continuation will own and drive prioritization, planning, and execution of continuation projects (or, ‘sustaining engineering’ projects). Through close collaboration with engineers, product managers, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and other cross-functional team members, this person will manage many concurrent projects of all sizes – from small, single-day efforts to large projects requiring a full team’s focus for months.

This role will include leading a cross-functional team in regular review and prioritization of new requests, and coordinate with Engineering Management to ensure work is staffed and executed in a timely manner once prioritized.  The Sr. Engineering Project Manager will lead regular status reporting of all ongoing continuation work, and escalate if additional support is required. These continuation efforts support TSI products across multiple value streams, from indoor/outdoor monitoring of airborne dust/aerosols, to assessing the indoor air quality and ventilation efficiency of commercial/residential buildings, and more.

The ideal candidate will be a high-energy individual with experience in positively motivating engineering teams to deliver outstanding hardware and software projects on-time and on-budget. They will be a strong facilitator, skilled influencer, and outcome-focused individual with excellent communication skills.
