Software Project Manager

About TITAN Haptics

TITAN Haptics is a venture-backed startup based in Toronto, dedicated to bringing advanced touch (haptic) experiences to consumer electronics—ranging from smartphones and gaming consoles to AR/VR headsets and automotive interfaces. Our small, cross-functional teams tackle tough engineering challenges. We value thoughtful problem solving, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in how users interact with touch feedback.

Role Overview

As Software Project Manager, you will own the end-to-end delivery of software interfaces for our haptic products. You’ll sit at the intersection of embedded systems, operating systems, device drivers, platform SDKs, and high-level APIs, ensuring that code shipped by internal and external teams aligns with both technical and user-experience goals. This role offers direct product ownership and the chance to shape the roadmaps of emerging haptic solutions in gaming, AR/VR, mobile, touchscreens, and automotive.

You will:

  • Define and Own Product Scope 
    • Partner with engineering, design, and product teams to refine requirements.
    • Draft software architecture outlines and set milestones for each feature.
    • Maintain the product backlog and make trade-off decisions when needed. 
  • Coordinate Across Teams 
    • Manage relationships with external software engineering partners, ensuring they have clear specifications and schedules.
    • Communicate progress, challenges, and releases to internal stakeholders (hardware, firmware, QA, marketing).
    • Facilitate regular stand-ups, design reviews, and code walkthroughs. 
  • Lead Implementation and Quality 
    • Review and contribute to core production code (Node.js, Embedded C/C++).
    • Oversee integration efforts: connecting our haptic API to platforms like Unity, custom console SDKs, or mobile OS drivers.
    • Ensure thorough testing, debugging, and timely releases across multiple hardware variants. 
  • Maintain and Evolve Codebases 
    • Keep documentation up to date: API specs, integration guides, release notes.
    • Mentor junior engineers and conduct code reviews to uphold coding standards.
    • Monitor technical debt and drive refactoring initiatives where it matters. 

What You’ll Bring

  • Hands-On Software Background (5+ years) 
    • Experience writing production code in Node.js and Embedded C/C++.
    • Comfort with end-to-end full-stack integration: from low-level drivers to front-end SDKs.
    • Proven track record of designing and leading API and software architecture. 
  • Project & Product Sense 
    • Demonstrated ability to break complex features into achievable milestones.
    • Portfolio or examples showing how you’ve owned features or products from design through release.
    • Aptitude for balancing technical details with user experience goals. 
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration 
    • Experience liaising with hardware engineers, QA teams, UX designers, and external partners.
    • Clear, concise communication in English (written and verbal). 
  • Formal Education 
    • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. 
  • Tool Proficiency 
    • Comfortable in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
    • Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines. 

Nice to Have

  • Personal or hobby experience in web development, electronics, or firmware.
  • Side projects demonstrating competence in embedded software or full-stack systems.
  • Passion for gaming, AR/VR, consumer electronics, or emerging tech trends.
  • Fluency in additional languages (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) to collaborate with Asia-based partners. 

Skills & Competencies

  • Strong problem-solving instincts and a knack for troubleshooting.
  • Resourcefulness: able to find creative solutions when standard approaches fall short.
  • Self-starter: comfortable driving tasks independently and following through.
  • Collaborative mindset: thrives in small teams and values open exchange of ideas. 

Location & Work Model

  • Location: Mississauga, Ontario (hybrid model with flexible on-site days)
  • TITAN operates with a flexible schedule—focus is on deliverables rather than clocking hours. 

Compensation & Benefits

  • Full-Time: CAD 120,000 – 150,000 per year, plus Employee Stock Options
  • Contract / Part-Time: CAD 65 – 85 per hour
  • Flexible hours and vacation policy (we trust you to manage your time)
  • Opportunity to own high-impact features in a fast-moving startup
  • Budget for professional development (conferences, training, books) 

Why This Role Matters

By joining TITAN Haptics as Software Project Manager, you will:

  • Play an essential part in bringing new haptic experiences to millions of users.
  • Partner closely with hardware and firmware engineers to build unique products that stand out in consumer electronics.
  • Have direct influence over feature prioritization, architectural direction, and user experience.
  • Grow alongside a small, nimble team—your voice and ideas will shape our product strategy.
