The Opportunity 

Our Device Engineering organization requires technical project management to ensure our embedded software, hardware, and quality teams successfully deliver on business goals. This portfolio of initiatives includes products and technology needed to support our Drones as First Responder (DFR) program.

Your initial focus will be optimizing the current design of the ground station that enables our drones to dock and automatically swap batteries. In addition, you will be involved with establishing and executing the R&D plan for future revisions, and other related technologies for the DFR ecosystem.

The Skillset 

• Experience partnering with hardware engineers and embedded software developers to ensure the various functional teams have a detailed plan for the timely delivery of device deliverables

• Ability to develop plans that are properly aligned with key stakeholders, including product management, operations, and leadership to ensure dependencies are fleshed out and project goals are clear

• Capable of identifying gaps or risks and moving quickly to mitigate those issues. At Flock we take ownership and resolve problems, never assuming ‘someone else is going to take care of it’

• Ability to foster a great project environment with communication at its core - you will facilitate team meetings, keep the team on priority tasks, document assumptions and decisions, wrangle slack conversations, and anything else it takes to ensure consistent alignment and forward progress

• Have a technical background that provides the foundation for navigating our engineering environment with ease, including experience with electronics that leverage Qualcomm technology

• Have experience with project management software. Specific administrative experience with the Atlassian (Jira) portfolio is preferred

• Have proven experience as a member of a development team that has shipped consumer or IOT electronic devices

• Have familiarity with embedded software solutions, especially Android!

Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.
