- Job Title:
- Location:
- Required:
- ● Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- ● 7+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years managing programs that involve hardware development, physical systems, or robotics.
- ● Strong technical foundation — enough depth to understand hardware build processes, test and validation workflows, and engineering dependencies without needing every concept explained.
- ● Demonstrable track record of managing complex, multi-workstream programs in ambiguous or greenfield environments — not just running established processes.
- ● Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to write a sharp status update, a clean risk register, and a clear decision memo without much editing.
- ● Experience building program management infrastructure (processes, tools, cadences) from scratch. Preferred
- ● Experience in a physical AI, robotics, autonomous systems, or advanced hardware R&D organization.
- ● Exposure to hardware development lifecycles — NPI, prototype builds, DVT/EVT/PVT, or equivalent — and the specific dependencies and failure modes that come with them.
- ● Familiarity with agile methodologies adapted for hardware development environments.
- ● Prior experience at a hyperscaler, frontier AI lab, or high-growth technology company where ambiguity and speed are the norm, not the exception.
