<p>BREAKFAST Studio | Senior Technical Program Manager | Brooklyn, NYC (ONSITE) | Full-time | $180k–$210k base + bonus | theartistbreakfast.com<p>We're BREAKFAST Studio, a kinetic-art studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We build one-of-a-kind electro-mechanical sculptures, pieces with thousands of individually controlled moving parts, for museums,  exhibitions, and collectors. We built The Pearl, the largest computer controlled kinetic sculpture on the planet (<a href="https://theartistbreakfast.com/works/the-pearl" rel="nofollow">https://theartistbreakfast.com/works/the-pearl</a>). Every piece is a custom machine: custom PCBs, stepper motion-control, molded parts, firmware, software, overseas manufacturing, all converging into something that has to run flawlessly for a decade.<p>We're hiring a Senior TPM to own delivery across all of it: fluent enough in mechanical, electrical, firmware, and industrial design to hold your own with every engineer, and good enough to keep a complex build from slipping between disciplines. You'll own each piece from prototype through tooling, production, test, and install — including deciding what "properly tested" means for a machine no one has built before.<p>You: 8–12 yrs shipping complex hardware (motors, electronics, firmware, overseas manufacturing), real factory/vendor experience, calm under install deadlines, and an eye for aesthetics — the tech serves the art.<p>On-site daily in Brooklyn. ~15% travel. Health/dental/vision, open vacation, summer Fridays.<p>Email lipton@breakfaststudio.com with "HN — Senior TPM" in the subject. I'm the MD and co-founder — I read every email and reply. OR, go here for more info and to apply: <a href="https://theartistbreakfast.com/jobs#senior-technical-program-manager" rel="nofollow">https://theartistbreakfast.com/jobs#senior-technical-program...</a></p>
