Hark • San Jose, CA

About The Position

Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory. We are pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. Rather than focusing on a single layer of the AI stack, we are building foundation models, software systems, and native hardware together from the start.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, CS, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 8+ years in technical program management, carrier/regulatory certification, or wireless engineering.
• Proven track record of successfully launching connected consumer electronics, IoT devices, wearables, or other carrier-connected hardware globally.
• Deep understanding of wireless technologies (4G LTE, 5G NSA/SA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS) and network interoperability.
• Exceptional ability to distill complex technical risks for executive reporting, influence teams without formal authority, and hold external partners accountable in ambiguous environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead global carrier and regulatory certification programs (including FCC, ISED, CE RED, UKCA, PTCRB, and GCF) from early product definition through commercial launch.
• Manage launch readiness for wireless, safety, EMC, RF exposure, SAR/MPE, and country-specific type approvals.
• Build and manage technical relationships with global mobile carriers, test labs, certification bodies, and chipset vendors to understand test plans and drive lab/field testing.
• Partner closely with hardware, software, RF, modem, QA, and product teams to triage testing issues, close certification blockers, and ensure commercial launch readiness.
• Translate operator requirements (4G/5G, VoLTE, eSIM, carrier aggregation, roaming) into product roadmaps and engineering execution plans to support entry into new markets.
• Establish repeatable processes, compliance matrices, risk-tracking frameworks, and executive dashboards to manage complex certification schedules across multiple products simultaneously.
