Embedded Software jobs in Hamilton, ON

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.

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.

• 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.
