We operate at the cutting edge of embodied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better.

JOB SUMMARY

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead large cross-functional teams through a full product lifecycle. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will orchestrate the integration of various engineering disciplines to help develop and drive program plans.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Ownership: Own programs end-to-end. Identify resource requirements and be accountable for executing on company goals and roadmap. Challenge assumptions and foster a results-driven culture.
Orchestration: Partner directly with engineering teams to execute solutions and adapt quickly when priorities shift. Coordinate across multiple functions including engineering, operations, supply chain, and finance to keep all stakeholders aligned and informed.
Planning: Create and communicate clear paths to success. Develop schedules, define milestones, and maintain execution plans that keep programs on track.

Cross-Disciplinary System Integration – Proven experience coordinating mechanical, electrical, firmware, product, software, and AI/ML teams to deliver fully integrated, sophisticated systems.

Deployment & Commercialization Readiness – Experience supporting system integration and scaling hardware/software platforms.
Influence in Resource-Constrained Environments – Ability to align product and engineering teams, prioritize effectively, and execute successfully in fast-paced, limited-resource settings.

5+ years of experience in program management or engineering management, including leading cross-functional teams in both hardware and software
- Preferred: Experience in robotics
