Job Description
Hardware Project Manager
📍 Boston, MA (In-Office)
🕓 Full-time
About Pinned
We’re building one of the fastest-growing brands in golf tech by focusing on products that help people play better and have more fun.
Our products blend precision, design, innovation, and durability.
We move fast, sweat details, and hold ourselves to a higher standard: in how we create, how we treat customers, and how we show up every day.
The Role:
This isn’t a task-checking job, it’s full ownership. We make decisions quickly, and expect whoever joins to love that pace.
We’re seeking a Hardware Project Manager to own the entire process of bringing new products to life: from concept through production and launch. You’ll work directly with the founders to turn ideas into finished products that golfers actually love. This role is equal parts execution, creativity, and ownership. You’ll coordinate design and development, manage overseas suppliers, oversee certifications, and keep every project on time, on budget, and up to our standards.
You’ll also help us refine how we build, creating structure where it’s needed and improving the process with every launch. You’ll be expected to think critically, communicate clearly, and operate with complete accountability. When something breaks, you’ll fix it. When something slips, you’ll get it back on track.
We’re looking for someone who’s hands-on, detail-obsessed, and thrives in motion. If you take pride in building things the right way and can balance urgency with craftsmanship, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
- Lead product development from concept → prototype → certification → production → launch.
- Manage design partners, engineering vendors, and manufacturing partners.
- Own and drive project schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
- Coordinate all product testing and certifications required for modern connected hardware, from safety and emissions to wireless communication standards.
- Dig in technically: understand what’s required for compliance, firmware integration, and component choices so nothing slips through the cracks.
- Identify opportunities to improve cost, speed, and quality at every step.
- Build and maintain clear communication across teams and stakeholders.
Who You Are
- 4+ years of experience in consumer hardware, manufacturing, or connected devices.
- Comfortable working directly with overseas suppliers and design teams.
- Have taken at least one product from prototype to mass production.
- Exceptionally organized, proactive, and calm under pressure.
- Strong communicator: written, verbal, and visual.
- Competitive by nature and proud of your work.
- You love golf.
Why Pinned
Pinned is growing fast and shaping the future of golf tech. We’ve already built products that outperform brands many times our size… and the next phase is even bigger.
You’ll work directly with the founders to build what comes next: owning projects end-to-end, making real decisions, and seeing your work used by golfers everywhere.
You’ll be joining a team stacked with proven operators; people who’ve scaled companies from startup to breakout, launched products used by the masses, and know what winning looks like. It’s a group that debates hard, sweats the details, and takes pride in doing things the right way. We work with urgency, expect a lot, and make each other better every day.
Location: In-office role based in Boston, MA.
Equal Opportunity: Pinned Golf values talent, attitude, and integrity—period. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
