We are looking for a highly driven Sr Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support complex robotics development programs within Prototype Operations. This role operates at the center of engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test, quality, and repair to drive execution across a fast-paced, high-mix hardware development environment.
In this highly cross-functional role, you'll be responsible for driving prototype and low-volume production builds from planning through integration, working side-by-side with build technicians, engineers, and leadership to identify risks, remove blockers, and maintain build velocity. You will serve as the connective tissue between technical execution and program-level deliverables, making real-time decisions and escalating when needed to keep the team moving.
We are looking for a highly technical, systems-oriented leader who thrives in ambiguity, can operate independently, and has a demonstrated ability to build and scale operations in rapidly evolving hardware environments.

How you will make an impact:
- Own complex, high-impact initiatives across multiple R&D programs, establishing strategies, execution plans, milestones, and cross-functional alignment.
- Partner with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality to ensure hardware, processes, resources, and infrastructure are ready to support evolving program needs.
- Identify operational gaps and develop integrated workflows, tools, and systems that improve execution, traceability, and efficiency.
- Translate evolving technical requirements into executable operational plans, balancing development speed, quality, and scalability.
- Identify systemic risks and dependencies, lead root-cause investigations, and implement sustainable solutions across organizational boundaries.
- Define meaningful KPIs and management mechanisms to monitor performance, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement.
- Evaluate tradeoffs, communicate risks, and drive alignment among engineering, operations, and senior leadership.
- Develop repeatable processes and operating models that support increasing hardware complexity, program volume, and organizational growth.
- Champion operational clarity and execution discipline while fostering a high-performance, team-first culture on the floor.
You bring:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, or related field.
- 10+ years of experience in technical program management, manufacturing operations, or related technical environments.
- Experience leading cross-functional programs in complex hardware environments such as robotics, aerospace, automotive, or consumer electronics.
- Strong understanding of end-to-end manufacturing operations, including demand planning, MRP, supply chain, inventory management, work orders, and production execution.
- Experience with ERP, MES, and PLM systems and understanding how processes, data, and transactions connect across the operational lifecycle.
- Proven ability to identify systemic gaps, develop scalable operational processes, and drive cross-functional improvements.
- Strong program management, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to independently drive execution in ambiguous environments.
- Hands-on mindset, comfortable working closely with engineers, technicians, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience implementing or improving ERP, MES, MRP, or PLM systems (e.g., Tulip, Arena, Rootstock, Oracle, SAP).
- Experience with prototype, NPI, and low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing.
- Experience developing integrated workflows across engineering changes, BOMs, material planning, inventory, and manufacturing execution.
- Experience scaling operations, improving build readiness, and driving operational process improvements.
- Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Asana, Microsoft Project).
