StaffTechnicalProgramManager,RoboticsSystems

THE ROLE We're looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to serve as the operational and strategic backbone of Mind Robotics' core platform development. This is a founding program management role — the connective tissue between our hardware, software, and data collection teams as we scale from prototype to fleet deployment. You will own the integrated master plan for our robotics platform: the full-stack convergence of dexterous hardware, real-time control systems, and the data flywheel that trains our models. You are not a timeline tracker. You are a systems thinker who can hold the big picture, identify dependencies before they become blockers, and push every team to deliver against a shared roadmap. This role is the difference between hardware and software operating in parallel — and operating as one. You will work directly with our founder and functional leads. You will make this company move faster. WHAT YOU'LL DO Cross-Functional Program Leadership - Own the integrated master program plan across hardware, software, and data collection — maintaining a single source of truth for milestones, dependencies, and critical path items. - Identify and surface cross-functional risks before they become schedule-critical blockers; drive resolution with urgency and clarity. - Serve as the primary connective layer between the hardware engineering, software/ML, and data operations teams — ensuring no workstream operates in isolation. - Lead structured program reviews that keep leadership and teams aligned on priorities, trade-offs, and resource requirements. Hardware Program Management - Manage the complexity of our electromechanical system: part-level ownership, supplier lead times, sourcing strategies, and DVT/EVT iteration cycles. - Build and maintain a rigorous parts and supplier tracking system — ensuring every component on the critical path has an owner, a plan, and a fallback. - Partner closely with the hardware lead to translate design decisions into program-level
