The work is reaching major museums, high-level collectors, and global public spaces — and we are just getting started. Now we are looking for the person who can build the next phase of this rise: grow BREAKFAST into a globally known creative figure — using storytelling, modern media, and strategic brand building.

Apply for this role Studio Senior Technical Program Manager The operational heart of the studio — holding every project together as it moves from idea to install. The role You'll work across our mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, software developers, and industrial designers, holding every project together as it moves from idea to install. The closest analogue is the project manager inside a company like Tesla who sits across a vehicle program: fluent enough in mechanical, electrical, firmware, and industrial design to talk every engineer's language, and good enough at holding a complex build together that nothing slips between the disciplines. You will be the eye in the sky on every active project — seeing where it really stands, asking the right questions, and making sure no one gets lost in the trees. The work itself is genuinely novel. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind machine — custom PCBs, motion-control systems with stepper motors, injection-molded parts, custom software and firmware, overseas manufacturing — that has to converge into something that runs flawlessly for a decade. You'll own the development process for each piece end to end: ideation, prototyping, tooling, production, test, install. You don't do the engineering, but you've been close enough to it to stand toe-to-toe with engineers in a review, challenge an approach when the cost or risk doesn't add up, and recognise when a decision needs the Head of Engineering or the Artist pulled back in. Day to day, you'll work most closely with the Head of Engineering (who lives in the design weeds with the team) and the Artist (whose vision the team is realising). When a brainstorm or design review produces a decision, you're the one who carries it forward — making sure the engineers apply it, that the build stays on track, that the Artist gets pulled back in for the constant design reviews that keep the aesthetics, motion, feel, and sound on point, and that the Head of Engineering is back in the room the moment a chosen approach stops making sense. This role is also the QA conscience of the studio. These sculptures use thousands of motors, bearings, and custom parts; a single missed defect can cost millions to remediate after install.
