Desirable

• 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
• A combination, not necessarily all-inclusive, of the following:
• 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
