About the Role

Are you passionate about mobile technology and interested in working at the intersection of engineering, product development, testing, and certification?

We are looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager – Mobile Device Certification to join our Global Test organization and help drive the certification and compliance activities required to bring mobile products to market.

Every device sold through a carrier must meet industry certification requirements. Our team plays a key role in making that happen by planning certification activities, coordinating testing with internal teams and external laboratories, managing issues and product changes, and guiding products through certification and ongoing maintenance.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong technical foundation who enjoys coordinating complex projects, solving problems, and working across global teams. You do not need to be an expert in every certification standard from day one. Mobile certification is a specialized field, and our experienced team will support your development in areas such as GCF, PTCRB, certification processes, and regression planning.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will own and coordinate certification activities throughout the product lifecycle, from development and initial certification through product changes, maintenance, and end of life.

You will:

- Develop certification plans, schedules, milestones, laboratory plans, resource needs, estimates, and deliverables for assigned mobile products.
- Coordinate GCF and PTCRB certification activities, from initial planning and testing through submission and approval.
- Define certification requirements and test scope based on product features, hardware and software configurations, industry standards, and market requirements.
- Partner with engineering teams, program teams, laboratories, certification bodies, and other stakeholders around the world.
- Coordinate test-house activities, including schedules, devices, software, documentation, equipment dependencies, results, and deliverables.
- Review hardware and software changes and determine their impact on certification and regression testing.
- Support failure analysis and issue resolution, coordinating technical investigations through tools such as JIRA.
- Analyze RF and protocol test results involving technologies such as 5G NR, LTE, IMS, and other applicable cellular technologies.
- Monitor timelines, milestones, risks, costs, dependencies, and deliverables, providing clear updates to stakeholders.
- Review certification reports and documentation to ensure completeness and accuracy before submission.
- Manage certification submissions and follow them through final approval.
- Help improve certification processes, tools, automation, data analysis, and overall testing efficiency.

The environment is dynamic and timelines can be short. Priorities and product requirements may change quickly, so being able to adapt, prioritize, and drive issues forward without losing sight of critical milestones will be essential.

What We're Looking For

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, Information Systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Approximately 3–5 years of relevant experience in technical project management, wireless/mobile device development, testing, certification, engineering, or a related technical environment.
- Experience creating and managing technical project plans, schedules, milestones, dependencies, and risks.
- Solid understanding of mobile device architecture, embedded systems, modem-based communication systems, or similar technologies.
- Exposure to 3GPP wireless technologies, cellular device testing, carrier requirements, or telecommunications standards.
- Ability to interpret technical requirements, specifications, test results, and product changes and translate them into actionable project plans.
- Experience coordinating multiple technical teams and driving issues through investigation and resolution.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, as the role works with global stakeholders and partners.
- Ability to independently manage assigned projects while collaborating effectively across global teams.
