What the job involves
- Teleo is poised for rapid growth. This presents a unique opportunity to be part of a team that is creating a product with a profound impact on our customers, working on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots, engineering intricate systems at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI, and joining the early stages of an exciting startup journey
- As a robotics Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Teleo, your role will be to coordinate across multiple teams the design, validation, manufacturing, and deployment of Teleo Supervised Autonomy Tech on multiple different types of heavy machinery
- You will work with internal teams, 3rd party installation groups, and customers to build, communicate, maintain, and execute complex schedules from hardware ordering to final handover with the customer
- You project manage independently and support all project team members with appropriate drive and urgency to deliver to Teleo's commitments

- You may be required to occasionally stand for extended periods, operate tools and controls, and occasionally lift and move up to 50 lbs
Our take
Operating a massive piece of heavy equipment like a bullddozer for 8-10 hours a day is a challenging job. It's tiring, unsafe and requires a great deal of synchronisation with other workers and vehicles on the job. Teleo is lightening this burden for construction teams with remote and autonomous control of heavy equipment.
The startup has pursued a pragmatic “crawl-walk-run” approach to deliver the benefits of supervised autonomy now. Instead of having each machine in a fleet operated by a driver in a cab, they’re all being controlled remotely by a single human operator miles away from the job site.
The hope is that the technology matures toward fully autonomous heavy equipment operation. Like any new technology, it can take some getting used to. However construction workers are simply adapting to robots on site as a another tool to get the job done, putting Teleo in a strong position as it sets out to disrupt the construction industry.
