Job Summary:
BRINC Drones is redefining public safety with innovative tools, including drones and ruggedized throw phones. They are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead execution across their device software and autonomy stack for drones and public safety products, ensuring software delivery aligns with hardware introductions and maintaining cross-team collaboration.
Responsibilities:
• Own end-to-end execution of device software and autonomy programs spanning embedded/firmware, on-device services, perception, navigation, controls, mission logic, test, and release engineering.
• Drive the week-to-week release cadence for deployed devices, including planning, readiness, rollout coordination, and post-release follow-up for OTA updates.
• Coordinate cross-team release scope and sequencing across device software and autonomy (including perception, SLAM/VIO, guidance, and control subsystems), ensuring clear dependencies, interfaces, and integration timelines.
• Partner closely with hardware engineering and product teams to align device software deliverables with new hardware releases (EVT/DVT/PVT milestones as needed).
• Lead release readiness reviews: quality gates, test coverage, performance/regression expectations, rollback plans, and operational comms.
• Ensure tight collaboration with QA, flight test, and field stakeholders to validate software and autonomy features across simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL),and real-world flight conditions.
• Establish and continuously improve program management processes across both device software and autonomy: release planning, change control, simulation and validation workflows, incident learnings, and metrics.
• Provide clear, concise status reporting to engineering leadership, surfacing risks early and driving tradeoffs across quality, schedule, and scope.
• Drive planning and delivery of autonomy features and capabilities, including localization, mapping, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and intelligent mission behaviors.
• Manage cross-cutting technical dependencies between autonomy subsystems (perception, navigation, controls) and the device software platform, proactively identifying integration risks and resolving blockers.
• Track and communicate program health across multiple parallel development threads, balancing new capability development, safety and reliability improvements, and integration into production releases.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (CS, EE, CE, Robotics, Aerospace, Systems, or related) or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of technical program management experience delivering embedded/device software or autonomy/robotics software for hardware products (robotics/UAVs/aerospace/safety-critical strongly preferred).
• Proven track record coordinating release trains and shipping updates to real-world deployed devices (e.g., OTA, staged rollouts).
• Strong technical fluency across embedded systems and autonomy: firmware/software boundaries, hardware-software interfaces, perception/navigation/controls pipelines, performance constraints, logging/telemetry, and validation strategies.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills with ability to align engineering, autonomy, QA, hardware, and operations around a single release plan.
Preferred:
• Experience with complex hardware/software mission-critical systems.
• Familiarity with embedded Linux, RTOS, and common device update mechanisms.
• Experience managing hardware/software co-development schedules across EVT/DVT/PVT and production ramp.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD for embedded software and autonomy, including automated test infrastructure, simulation pipelines, and fleet health metrics.
• Familiarity with autonomy or robotics concepts such as SLAM/VIO, GNSS/INS fusion, path planning, obstacle avoidance, or flight controls.
• Experience managing programs involving simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, or field validation of autonomous systems.
• Understanding of fault-tolerant or safety-critical system design, redundancy strategies, and UAV flight safety requirements.
• Startup experience: high ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and bias for action.
Company:
BRINC Drones develops technology that enhances public safety, focusing on hardware, software, and services for emergency responders. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in Seattle, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
