HR Tech • SaaS • Enterprise

Dayforce is a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) platform (developed by Ceridian) that provides payroll, HR, workforce management, time & attendance, benefits administration, and talent management in a unified SaaS application for employers. It’s designed as an enterprise-focused, B2B solution for managing employee lifecycle and payroll compliance.

📋 Description

• Own end-to-end program execution for next-generation hardware and device programs—from early concept and architecture through EVT/DVT/PVT, software integration, regulatory certification, and mass production ramp. • Collaborate deeply with cross-functional teams within HW Engineering across all domains and partner teams like Software, Operations, Product and Supply Chain to plan, execute and deliver critical programs. • Determine program milestones, define requirements and benchmarks for each team at each milestone, and build realistic, integrated master schedules with input from core program team members. • Manage external partner and vendor relationships, driving alignment with strategic partners, contract manufacturers (CMs/EMSs), component suppliers, and technology licensors to hold them to high standards of quality and timeline execution. • Create regular status checks and maintain clear, real-time dashboards (e.g., JIRA, Confluence) showing program status, critical path, dependency maps, and risk registers. • Drive execution and facilitate high-speed, data-driven trade-off decisions when schedule, cost, quality, and feature scope collide. • Identify, manage, and mitigate technical risks before they become crises, leading problem-solving and root-cause analysis sessions with engineering teams. • Rapidly build and maintain deep technical knowledge of hardware components and their system-level interactions to guide technical discussions and drive progress. • Actively and consistently support all efforts to simplify and enhance the customer experience. • Raise the bar on program management craft by establishing frameworks, mechanisms, and operating rhythms that scale across multiple concurrent programs.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelors Degree (4 years) - Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent required (Master’s degree preferred). • 8+ years in a technology field, with 3+ years of practical hardware engineering experience (EE/ME) and 5+ years in technical program management. • Demonstrable track record of delivering at least one complex cross-functional project involving tight integration of hardware, firmware, and software. • Comprehensive understanding of systems integration, new platform launch processes (EVT, DVT, PVT), and critical path management. • Strong technical abilities with the capacity to work closely and credibly with highly technical teams across various domains (Integration, electrical, thermal, mechanical, firmware, OS, and cloud services). • Proficient in tools required to manage complex projects, specifically using JIRA and Confluence to capture, track, and manage engineering development tasks. • Expert in external partner management, with experience coordinating with vendors and contract manufacturers across multiple geographies and time zones. • Exceptional ability to articulate complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into clear technical specifications. • Comfortable with ambiguity, with a demonstrated ability to bring order, drive accountability, and influence without authority in highly dynamic, fast-paced environments. • Practical experience with root cause analysis in high-pressure situations. • Experience in robotics, larger consumer equipment, automotive or autonomous vehicle (SDS) systems integration is highly preferred. • Experience in leveraging AI tools to accelerate Engineering workflow. • Program management certification (PMP or equivalent) is preferred. • Ability to read, write, speak and understand English.
