We’re looking for a Program Manager to join our team and become the strategic partner for our top customers, owning their production journey from prototype to scale. You’ll translate complex technical requirements into production reality, navigate supply chain challenges, and ensure our customers’ most critical projects succeed. If you love manufacturing, solving hard problems, and making a real impact on hardware companies - this is the place for you.
Jiga is building the future of custom manufacturing. We’re a fast growing startup creating unprecedented transparency in mechanical parts production. We enable direct communication between buyers and manufacturers, fundamentally changing how companies scale their hardware. Hardware teams at leading companies like NASA and Siemens use our platform to get high-quality custom parts, faster. We’re changing the game in manufacturing by empowering engineers with better tools and direct access to vetted suppliers, while delivering radical transparency and incredible service.
Own customer production outcomes - Be the single point of accountability for our top accounts’ manufacturing success
Manage complex production projects - Navigate DFM issues, supplier selection, quality requirements, and scale-up challenges across CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, and other processes
Scale products to production - Guide customers through the transition from prototyping to volume manufacturing, anticipating roadblocks before they hit
