Job details

Senior Technical Program Manager, Robotics Research

Our Mission

Our mission is to solve the most important and fundamental challenges in AI and Robotics to enable future generations of intelligent machines that will help us all live better lives.


Technical Program Managers play a crucial part in ensuring the successful execution of ambitious robotics research programs. Your primary responsibility is to contribute to the end-to-end success of our technical integrated research milestones. As a TPM for a robotics research organization, we expect our TPMs to have a hands-on approach, working closely with robotics researchers and engineering teams, with an emphasis on spending the majority of their time unblocking research work.


What you'll do
  • Work with subject matter experts who come from a diverse set of backgrounds (robotics research, applied science, software / hardware engineering, etc.), and help align everyone’s work towards a unified goal.
  • Partner with engineering leads in translating ambitious research milestones and strategy into detailed technical roadmaps, timelines, and deliverables. Match program management methodology (Waterfall vs. Agile) to suit the needs of programs.
  • Facilitate and provide concise and effective communications to key stakeholders on program status, and accomplishments, and help manage risks.
  • Maintain a strong technical understanding of our robotics software stack and software engineering lifecycle, to enable cross-functional collaboration by coordinating requirements, functionalities, and interfaces.
  • Identifying risks, driving consensus and technical decision-making, bringing up metrics / performance / evaluation pipelines, and improving organizational processes.


What you'll need
  • BS or above in Robotics or Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of combined experience in robotics (such as autonomous driving), software engineering, and program management.
  • Proficient understanding of the main building blocks for a robotics stack, such as perception, motion planning & controls, and mapping & localization.
  • Success in driving complex software / hardware integration processes and leading complex cross-functional programs end to end.
  • Comfortable in an early-stage startup environment, working through ambiguity and enabling teams to perform in this environment.
  • Proficient in tools or processes required to manage complex projects, particularly Jira
  • Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with the research team.
  • Proficiency of Ubuntu Linux and version control systems such as Git


Bonus
  • Strong understanding of Agile methodologies
