About this role
Role Description
We are seeking a highly technical, collaborative Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to guide the evolution of our core technology platforms. This team is responsible for building the robotics engineering foundations that enable our autonomy and automation programs to build, train, and operate intelligent machines at scale. In this role, you will connect advanced machine learning with scalable infrastructure. We value thoughtful program ownership and trajectory facilitation over passive administration or information brokerage. The ideal candidate is energetic and ready to learn quickly, thrives in highly collaborative spaces, and is ready to operate as a deep owner of high-impact program outcomes.
Job Responsibilities
Serve as the outcome and domain owner for a portfolio of technical programs; be prepared to bootstrap ambitious, ambiguous, large-scale strategic initiatives into clear, structured execution paths. Weave complex, cross-organizational interdependencies into a singular, harmonious program strategy that unifies diverse engineering groups. Evangelize the program's strategy across the core platform engineering teams and the robotics programs that use our foundational tooling. Replace administrative status updates with an authoritative, bottom-up framework that clearly articulates milestones, sequences, and critical paths to executive leadership. Act as a high-velocity roadblock smasher, using your program tooling to identify engineering bottlenecks and re-chart course as necessary to guarantee high-quality, on-time program delivery. Build the connective tissue between cross-functional groups, ensuring deep understanding, operational symmetry, and goal alignment across teams. Shape and contribute deeply to strategic roadmaps for developing our robotics platform. Work cross-functionally to develop best practices and development processes in a dynamic environment, driving impact through the deployment of key initiatives and garnering adoption of those processes.
Qualifications
At least 7+ years of experience driving complex, cross-functional technical programs. Strong track record of building alignment across diverse technical teams without formal authority. Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex architectural concepts into clear, actionable program milestones. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering or related technical discipline; or equivalent practical experience. Proficiency with agile project management tools such as Jira and Confluence. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with large-scale systems. Excellent communication, time management, and prioritization skills. Systems design or technical architecture experience, with the ability to understand and contribute to high-level system design discussions.
Preferred Experience and Skills
Background in machine learning, computer vision, and/or robotics. Experience managing data science, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, or autonomy programs. Experience with cloud-based full-stack engineering development, including frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
Benefits
Base pay range: $133,000 - $238,000/year, depending on experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. Eligible for an annual performance bonus and a competitive benefits package.
