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.
We are hiring a Director of Technical Program Management to own and scale OLIX's 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 Director of Technical Program Management, you will design and run the structure within which OLIX ships products. You’ll partner closely with engineering and product leadership to drive strategy, build world-class processes, and lead a growing team of Technical Program Managers. You’ll take ownership of cross-functional delivery at scale, ensuring flawless execution across multiple interdependent programs that are critical to OLIX's roadmap.
Proven track record of delivering highly complex, cross-functional engineering programs at scale.
10+ years of experience across hardware engineering and program management, including leadership roles within hardware, semiconductor, systems engineering, or AI-driven product environments.
Experience building and leading TPM teams in high-growth and fast-moving technology companies.
Deep understanding of engineering processes across hardware, software, and embedded systems.
Demonstrated ability to drive velocity, optimise processes, and reduce organisational friction without compromising quality.
Expert project and program management skills, with strong familiarity with Agile methodologies and tools (JIRA, Confluence, etc.).
Outstanding communication and leadership abilities, capable of influencing at all levels, including executives.
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 a £24k annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office.
Employer-contributed retirement plans; 401(k) in the US, pension in the UK, and RRSP in Canada, to help you build long term financial security.
Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at Olix depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
