Headquartered in Montreal and Berlin, Vention helps manufacturers automate their operations in record time with the only hardware and software AI-powered platform built for the factory floor. Our technology powers over 25,000 machines across 4,000 factories across 5 continents and we have the privilege to work with a significant proportion of Fortune 500 manufacturers, from space rockets, to electrical cars, to robotics. At Vention, you’ll work alongside driven and talented people who care deeply about their craft and the impact they create. We’re a team of high achievers who grow through meaningful work, solving complex challenges, learning fast, and seeing the results of our efforts every day. We move quickly and aim high, but we do it together with care, collaboration, and respect. Our culture celebrates diverse perspectives and supports your growth through intentional development, strong leadership, and opportunities to make a real difference. Vention's Physical AI team is building next-generation machine intelligence for industrial automation. As Program Manager, you own the integration of those capabilities into hardware products — bridging Physical AI and Hardware Product Managers, validating that technology under development meets product requirements, and keeping both Agile software sprints and hardware stage-gate milestones in sync. Responsibilities * Own the integration roadmap from Physical AI capabilities to hardware products; validate technology readiness before hardware commit points * Align Physical AI PMs and Hardware PMs on shared vision, scope, and sequencing — actively resolving competing priorities * Challenge whether Physical AI technology under development meets the functional, performance, and reliability requirements of hardware products; escalate gaps early * Build and maintain integrated timelines spanning Agile (sprint-based) software cycles and Waterfall (stage-gate) hardware programs; surface critical path risks continuously * Translate
