IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL: Join a cross-functional team of software, robotics, hardware, and process engineers to drive the planning, coordination, and execution of complex technical programs across Molg's robotic microfactory systems and software platforms. As a Technical Program Manager, you will: Own the end-to-end program lifecycle for Molg's most complex cross-functional initiatives — from scoping and planning through execution, risk management, and delivery. Partner closely with engineering leads across software, robotics, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to define roadmaps, surface dependencies, and drive alignment on shared milestones. Build and maintain program tracking systems — timelines, OKRs, sprint dashboards, and status reports — that give the team and leadership clear visibility into progress and blockers. Facilitate structured communication across teams: lead standups, cross-functional syncs, and program reviews, and ensure decisions and action items are documented and followed through. Identify, escalate, and help resolve technical and operational risks before they become blockers — working with engineers to understand root causes and evaluate tradeoffs. Drive continuous improvement in how Molg plans and ships work — developing scalable processes for sprint planning, design reviews, and cross-team coordination as the company grows. Translate ambiguous customer or business requirements into structured engineering scopes, milestones, and delivery plans. Support hardware and software release coordination — helping sequence test validation gates, manufacturing milestones, and deployment readiness across Molg's systems. Serve as the connective tissue between technical teams and leadership — synthesizing complex program status into crisp, accurate summaries. You'll have the opportunity to build alongside an incredible team, develop innovative solutions, and grow in a fast-paced environment that values autonomy and impact. WHO YOU ARE: 5+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, or a closely related role — ideally in hardware, robotics, or deep-tech environments. Strong enough technical fluency to engage substantively with software and hardware engineers — you don't need to write the code, but you need to understand what makes it hard. Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent programs with competing priorities, keeping teams focused and unblocked without creating unnecessary overhead. Excellent communicator — comfortable in a room with engineers debugging a problem, and equally comfortable presenting program status to company leadership. Experience working across both software and hardware development cycles — you understand how the two interact and how to align timelines across very different disciplines. Sharp judgment about when to escalate, when to push, and when to let a team work — you build trust by adding clarity, not bureaucracy. Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the challenge of building process in a fast-moving startup environment where the playbook is still being written. Strong command of modern program and project management tooling (Jira, Linear, Notion, or similar). Ability to work in-person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA. THINGS TO KNOW: We're a hands-on collaborative team with big ambitions, and there's a good amount of context-switching. We expect people to be autonomous and drive their own work to completion. We are scrappy and looking to build a great sustainable company for years to come. As a growing company and startup, priorities may shift as customer or business requirements change. We strive to empower individuals with context and decision-making power to meet this need.
