Associate Technical Project Manager- Table Games

Job Overview

AGS is a leading supplier of innovative games and systems for the global gaming industry. Our mission is to deliver superior casino gaming products that elevate the player’s experience while maximizing operational value for our customers.

The Associate Technical Project Manager supports the planning, execution, and delivery of engineering projects across the AGS Table Games portfolio. Working under the guidance of senior project management and engineering staff, this role helps keep programs on schedule by tracking dependencies, maintaining project plans, coordinating across functions, and driving action items to closure.

That work spans design reviews, supplier development and qualification, procurement readiness, test and validation, pilot builds, and formal engineering change management, and it requires close coordination between engineering, operations, supply chain, and external partners.

Beyond the shuffler programs, this role supports project management needs across the broader Table Games engineering portfolio, including hardware, firmware, software, and table progressive products. This is a growth position intended to build depth in technical project management within a regulated hardware environment.

The position is based in the Duluth, GA office and reports to the Vice President of Table Games Engineering. The role works daily alongside the Engineering Operations project management team in Duluth, embedding into established project management practice, and collaborates with remote teams in Las Vegas.
