It means different things in many groups. At a high level it will be owning a project for a piece of hardware that could go straight into a product, or be part of hardware that supports creation or testing of a product. Could possibly be more long term R&D work as well. It’s a lot of organizing meetings, figuring out who the right stakeholders are in your group to work on problems, reporting up to management the status of your project, working with vendors and contract manufacturers to build hardware, driving engineers to finish tasks, creating schedules and budgets, could be some light technical work supporting engineers depending on the group. EPM is a lot of people skills and politics and having familiarity with the technical tasks being done when working with technical engineers. You’re typically the face of the program, get copied on all the emails, and managers and execs hear from you and come to you when shit hits the fan.
