Job Description

As a Technical Program Manager for Hardware NPI you’ll drive execution across cross-functional teams spanning mechanical design, embedded systems, controls, and manufacturing operations. This is a high-ownership, mission-critical role with visibility across the entire hardware product lifecycle—from prototype through scaled deployment. You will manage the introduction of complex robotic systems into production, define and enforce rigorous development and manufacturing milestones, and ensure seamless coordination across internal engineering and external supply chain partners. This role is ideal for a TPM with deep technical fluency, comfort in ambiguity, and a proven track record delivering high-stakes, multidisciplinary hardware programs.

Job Responsibility

  • Own and drive complex hardware and autonomy programs from concept to production, with cross-functional scope across mechanical, electrical, GNC, and firmware systems
  • Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts, managing build plans, integration milestones, and transfer to contract manufacturing
  • Serve as the central node for coordinating design, manufacturing, validation, and supplier execution across multiple internal and external teams
  • Define and track program timelines, critical paths, and risk mitigation strategies across all technical disciplines
  • Partner with engineering leads to ensure technical decisions align with schedule and manufacturing constraints
  • Communicate program status, risks, and decisions to stakeholders at both engineering and executive levels
  • Help build robust manufacturing plans, including DFM/DFA alignment, pilot builds, and supply chain readiness

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in hardware program management, with a track record of delivering complex electromechanical or robotics systems into production
  • Deep understanding of hardware product development processes, including PLM, PDP, and NPI methodologies
  • Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers, from early development builds through to high-volume production
  • Familiarity with a range of manufacturing processes including PCBA (SMT), injection molding, die casting, and complex system integration
  • Excellent technical fluency, capable of facilitating trade-offs and understanding implications across ME, EE, firmware, and controls domains
  • Strong organizational skills with an ability to manage multiple workstreams, dependencies, and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Exceptional communication and reporting skills
  • able to deliver clarity and alignment in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
  • A Bachelor’s or higher degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

Nice to have

  • Background in robotics, aerospace, or autonomy-focused product development
  • Familiarity with embedded software lifecycles and firmware-hardware integration
  • Experience coordinating high-reliability or safety-critical system manufacturing and validation

What we offer

  • 401(k) plan with employer matching
  • 16 weeks of paid parental leave
  • wellness benefits
  • commuter benefits match
  • paid time off
  • paid sick leave
  • medical, dental, and vision benefits
