The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

Who We Are

We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.

This role will be focused on overseeing the planning, execution, and optimization of complex technical projects related to the company’s hardware, software, manufacturing test, and deployment efforts. The TPM will help coordinate efforts across mechanical, electrical, embedded, systems, manufacturing, and operations teams to ensure smooth hand-offs and efficient delivery of components, robots, and software.

  • Gather requirements, align priorities, and communicate project status updates effectively.

  • Develop and implement processes that streamline workflows and improve efficiency.

  • Help teams set up and execute sprints to effectively prioritize and track work.

  • Analyze and update existing processes and identify areas for optimization and improvement.

  • Coordinate broad communication efforts to keep all teams informed and aligned.

  • Create detailed project documentation, including technical specifications, roadmaps, project plans, and status reports to maintain transparency and accountability.

Qualifications

  • BS degree in Mechanical, electrical, mechatronics or another equivalent engineering discipline

  • 3-5 years of experience in engineering program management, or technical program management

  • 3-5 years experience with hardware, systems,, or autonomous systems development processes

  • Experience successfully articulating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical partners

  • Strong track record of managing complex cross-functional projects and shipping product features in a production environment

  • Experience building strong working relationships with senior leaders and engineers across functions and departments

  • Ability to keep the big picture in focus and to provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to each appropriate audience

What Makes You Stand Out 

  • MS degree in Mechanical, electrical or another equivalent engineering discipline

  • Experience in robotics and autonomous systems, especially ones running in public spaces

  • Experience with products that include policy or regulatory aspects

Compensation Range: $150K - $187K
