Technical Program Manager, Operations & Manufacturing
About Tacit
We are an early-stage, deep tech startup based in San Francisco, developing innovative hardware that rethinks human-computer interaction. We are backed by General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Greylock Partners, with a founding team from Stanford, BrainGate, Oculus, and Tesla. While we can’t reveal too much just yet, our team is tackling cutting-edge engineering challenges to bring revolutionary products to life.
About the role
We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM), Operations & Manufacturing to lead the hardware scaling transition from late-stage engineering design into high-volume manufacturing. In this role, you will serve as the primary operational bridge between internal engineering teams, global contract manufacturers (CMs), joint development manufacturers (JDMs), and component suppliers.
You will take ownership of manufacturing readiness, assembly process definition, factory test deployments, supply chain alignment, and unit economics. This is an end-to-end, hands-on program management position ideal for someone who thrives on translating engineering blueprints into scalable, repeatable, and cost-effective production systems across EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production ramps.
