  • Translate highlevel product goals into structured execution plans, defining timelines, dependencies, and milestones across distributed teams.
  • Operate with a high degree of ownership to manage ambiguity, independently driving program direction while aligning to broader organizational goals.
  • Partner closely with engineering teams to understand technical problem spaces, including system services, architectures, and algorithms that support feature development.
  • Develop a working knowledge of robotics software stacks, including motion planning, trajectory generation, navigation, and related services, to effectively manage program execution.
  • Support feature validation by working alongside engineers in lab environments, assisting with system bringup, running work cells, and validating feature performance against defined KPIs.
  • Build trust with software development teams by engaging directly in execution workflows and understanding system behavior beyond planning artifacts.
  • Oversee program execution using Agile methodologies, ensuring coordination across teams without focusing on individual team sprint or ticket management.
  • Track program progress through defined metrics, ensuring readiness for deployment and successful integration into operational environments.
  • Support both new product development and sustaining engineering efforts for deployed robotic systems.
  • Contribute to planning and execution across multiple product lines and future initiatives within the robotics portfolio.

  • Experience managing crossteam dependencies and delivering integrated systems composed of multiple features and components.
  • Familiarity with robotics concepts such as motion planning, navigation, and autonomous system behavior (or demonstrated ability to learn quickly).
  • Experience working in Agile development environments.
  • Ability to operate independently in highambiguity, fastpaced environments while driving outcomes.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across engineering and product teams.
  • Willingness to work handson in lab or development environments alongside engineering teams.
