About Team

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. We integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors.

About the Role

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive development and integration of a range of sensor systems for robotics. This role will drive cross-functional alignment across requirements, engineering design, integration, validation, manufacturing, supply chain, and release processes.

Responsibilities

• Drive requirements alignment across engineering design, integration, testing, and validation for camera modules, LiDAR, IMUs, RADAR, proximity sensors, audio components and the systems they interact with.
• Coordinate the integration of modules including electrical, mechanical, harnessing, and software interfaces with the full robotic system.
• Establish effective cadences for technical reviews, BOM readiness, change management, production releases, approvals, and decision tracking.
• Align harnesses, fasteners, assembly fixtures, test fixtures, and documentation so cross-functional teams can execute against a clear plan.
• Lead validation planning around functional, reliability, NVH failure modes, including testing needs, schedules, and exit criteria.
• Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to manage handoffs, lead times, dependencies, and production readiness.
• Drive tradeoff decisions across cost, quality, performance, schedule, and lead time by collaborating cross-functionally and quantifying impact to meet program deliverables.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Bring experience in developing camera modules, microphones/speakers, radar, proximity sensing, etc. and their integration into mobile robots.
• Have led complex electromechanical hardware programs from requirements through manufacturing.
• Understand engineering development systems for version control, change management, technical reviews, approvals, and production releases.
• Can work effectively across engineering, test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.

What success looks like:

• Requirements, interfaces, dependencies, and validation plans are aligned across engineering teams.
• Sensor subsystems move from design through integration and testing with clear milestones and exit criteria.
• Technical reviews, BOM readiness, change control, and production-release mechanisms are operating effectively.
• Functional, reliability, and NVH risks are surfaced early and driven to closure.
• Cost, quality, performance, schedule, and lead-time tradeoffs are quantified and resolved cross-functionally.
• Mitigation strategies are well communicated and aligned upon, acceleration of hardware development from design to trials on the floor is quantifiable.
• Tools and workflows built are well embedded in the daily routine of all the team members, thus do not seem an added overhead to get things done.
