Program Manager

Fieldpiece is looking for a Program Manager to lead cross-functional programs that bring innovative hardware, firmware, and software products from concept through commercialization. This is a high visibility position where you'll own end-to-end program execution, ensuring projects meet aggressive timelines, quality standards, cost targets, and business objectives while managing risk, resources, and stakeholder alignment across engineering, marketing, operations, supply chain, regulatory, finance and external partners.

We’re a thriving tribe of innovators - committed to pushing boundaries and celebrating curiosity.  We’ve been providing HVACR professionals with rugged, feature-rich tools like meters, manifolds, leak detectors, and more since 1990.  Fieldpiece leads the industry in the way we think, work, collaborate, and remain laser-focused on creating products that empower HVACR professionals – today and tomorrow.  If you thrive in an environment where challenges are embraced, ambiguity fuels innovation, and relationships are built on trust and transparency—this is your opportunity.
