Technical Project Manager

Salvo Software builds innovative, high-impact engineering solutions that power real-world applications across manufacturing, automotive diagnostics, IoT, and enterprise operations. Our culture prioritizes clean, maintainable code, technical excellence, collaboration, and practical engineering over abstract theory. We operate in a low-stress, outcome-driven environment where creativity, autonomy, and problem-solving are valued.

Role Overview & Responsibilities

As the Project Manager, you will coordinate planning, execution, and delivery across multiple engineering initiatives. You will ensure clarity, alignment, and accountability while keeping projects on schedule, within scope, and grounded in measurable outcomes. This role focuses heavily on cross-team collaboration, risk management, communication, and operational efficiency—enabling engineering teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions.

AI-Powered Internal Tools

• Coordinate timelines, milestones, and resourcing for the AI engineering team.
• Support the development of AI-powered internal tools that enhance engineering productivity and operational efficiency.
• Oversee project planning for generative systems that convert complex technical documentation into standardized, machine-readable formats.
• Track progress, mitigate risks, and ensure smooth integration across teams.

Automation of Production Line

• Manage project execution for factory production software development.
• Oversee scheduling, roadmapping, and cross-functional coordination related to the modernization of the factory's network infrastructure.
• Ensure timely deployment and testing of new software in alignment with production requirements.
• Coordinate with interns, engineers, and production staff to support automation initiatives involving robotic arms, automated box-folding systems, and sensor-based testing tools.

DevOps & Infrastructure Delivery

• Work closely with DevOps Engineers to plan and track CI/CD, deployment workflows, and infrastructure reliability initiatives.
• Ensure deliverables align with best practices in versioning, rollback strategies, observability, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Facilitate communication between DevOps and engineering leads to support continuous improvement in build systems, automation, and environment scalability.
• Monitor progress across environments and ensure blockers are escalated and resolved quickly.

IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity

• Support IT and security teams with project planning, prioritization, and execution oversight.
• Ensure successful rollout of secure infrastructure components such as device provisioning, domain management, and VPN systems.
• Coordinate cybersecurity projects including internal testing, employee training, and process standardization.
• Track and report progress to leadership, highlighting risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans.

Vendor & Contractor Management

• Manage timelines, deliverables, and communications with external engineering contractors.
• Coordinate onboarding, SOW alignment, and performance tracking of third-party vendors.
• Support evaluation and selection of new contractors for specialized or ongoing initiatives.
• Ensure seamless collaboration between external resources and internal engineering teams.

Must-Have

• 7+ years of experience in Project Management, Technical Program Management, Engineering Management, or similar roles.
• Proven experience leading complex projects involving cross-functional engineering teams (AI/ML, automation, DevOps, security).
• Strong ability to manage scope, timelines, risks, and stakeholder communication across technical initiatives.
• Experience delivering software or systems that integrate hardware, automation processes, or enterprise infrastructure.
• Ability to understand technical architectures well enough to coordinate effectively with engineering leads.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convert technical details into clear plans, updates, and documentation.
• Experience managing external vendors or contractors.
