Role
Who you are
- Proven experience as a Technical Program Manager delivering complex hardware or safety-critical systems
- Familiarity with functional safety standards and certification processes in AV/Robotics
- Experience managing multi-vendor engineering programs with significant cross-functional dependencies
- Strong ability to operate in ambiguous or greenfield environments and build structures where none exists
- Excellent communication, stakeholder alignment, and execution leadership skills
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Functional Safety Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive cross-functional execution and alignment for functional safety across a complex robotics platform
- This role coordinates internal teams and external partners to support safety-critical milestones, maintain program clarity, and advance certification goals
- The TPM establishes scalable execution frameworks and serves as a central integration point to enable predictable delivery while allowing engineering teams to focus on technical development
- This role will own end-to-end execution of the functional safety program across a complex, multi-vendor ecosystem
- Drive integrated planning, delivery tracking, and alignment across internal teams and external partners
- Establish execution frameworks spanning safety requirements, V&V activities, interface definitions, safety analyses, and certification milestones
- Define and manage the critical path toward system safety goals and certification
- Act as the central coordination point across hardware, software, systems engineering, compliance, validation, vendors, and certification bodies
- Enable structured collaboration, decision-making, and cross-functional program alignment
- Identify risks, resourcing gaps, and dependencies; drive mitigation strategies
- Introduce scalable processes, governance, and operational rigor to improve predictability and execution maturity
Our take
Agility Robotics was founded with the aim of empowering the blended workforce, where humans and human-movement-enabled robots work side by side. Though there’s still plenty of wariness about what workplace robots might mean for the future of the workforce, the amount of R&D and Venture Capital funding into the space – coupled with an acute labour shortage – suggests that there’s no holding it back.
The company, founded by a team of Robotics and Bioengineering academics, has hit the headlines a number of times in the last few years for the mobility and dexterity of its robots which can walk around, move packages, and unload trailers (as well as climb stairs and run a 5K). This ability to run could have a huge impact, as it opens up the potential not just to work in warehouses and factories, but to complete last-mile deliveries – an ambition that Agility Robotics has made public.
It's advancing humanoid robotics with its robot, Digit, already working in logistics and delivery. With partnerships like Schaeffler AG and a new production facility, Agility is scaling up operations. Digit's tasks, including package handling, and future plans for self-replication, position the company to address labor shortages. As it enhanced Digit's AI and safety features, Agility is preparing for a future where robots and humans work together, shaping the digital workforce.
