About the role
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager who thrives at the intersection of engineering and execution. You'll lead complex technical programs from concept through delivery, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, and Business teams to ensure we're building the right things—and delivering them with quality, speed, and predictability. This role requires deep expertise in software development programs, combined with a strong systems mindset. While your primary focus will be driving software execution, you'll also coordinate work spanning hardware, firmware, robotics, and manufacturing. You don't need to be an expert in every discipline, but you do need to understand how they come together to build world-class robotic systems.
What you'll bring
- You don't need to be an expert in every discipline, but you do need to understand how they come together to build world-class robotic systems.
- You have significant experience leading complex technical programs in fast-paced engineering organizations.
- You possess deep knowledge of modern software development lifecycles and are comfortable partnering closely with software engineering teams throughout planning, development, testing, and release.
- You have a strong systems perspective and understand how software interacts with hardware, firmware, robotics, and manufacturing to deliver integrated products.
- You've successfully managed multidisciplinary engineering programs involving hardware and software.
- You can quickly understand technical concepts and facilitate productive conversations across diverse engineering disciplines.
- You build credibility through technical curiosity, thoughtful communication, and strong execution—not formal authority.
- You're highly organized, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and energized by solving complex cross-functional challenges.
- Experience in robotics, embedded systems, autonomous systems, industrial automation, IoT, or other complex physical products is highly preferred.
