In Cognition, people—not devices—are at the center of everything we do. Our tech moves beyond sensors, screens and pixels to create new realities and new insights aimed at bringing us closer together. To get there, we're incorporating a diverse set of groundbreaking Mixed Reality technologies, leveraging computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and more. We fuse these technologies across a portfolio of first and third-party products ranging from HoloLens to Virtual Reality headsets and Azure-connected sensing devices. We're a growing team of talented engineers and artists putting technology on a human path. We believe there has to be a better way. If you do too, we need you! We're looking for a talented program manager who's also a highly-capable engineer. In this role, you'll help guide the design and evolution of core HoloLens technologies, including the operating system (OS), developer platform, core input model, AI capabilities and user experiences.
• Engage directly with engineering teams to understand the state-of-the-art in hardware, computer vision, AI and experiences technologies for Mixed Reality. • Engage directly with customers to understand problems which can be addressed by Mixed Reality technologies and the solution(s) that help them drive meaningful business value. • Drive cross-functional engineering teams to build technology roadmaps and select appropriate implementation solutions balancing customer needs, engineering cost and complexity. • Communicate with precision and clarity to drive alignment in small and broad teams. •
• 10+ years of Program Management and/or Project Management experience. • Experience working through multiple complete product cycles (from initial design through post-release maintenance). • Experience with hardware products from concept through support phase(s). • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. • A high tolerance for ambiguity and change. • Excellent design and problem-solving skills. There are plenty of other skills that aren't required, but you'll find useful in this role. Let us know if you have experience with Windows operating systems, device firmware, device drivers,
