Technical Program Manager, Sensors

We are looking for a TPM to drive development and integration of a range of sensor systems for robotics. This role will drive cross-functional alignment across requirements, engineering design, integration, validation, manufacturing, supply chain, and release processes, helping turn complex sensor-system needs into clear plans, decisions, and milestones.

Responsibilities

Drive requirements alignment across engineering design, integration, testing, and validation for camera modules, LiDAR, IMUs, RADAR, proximity sensors, audio components and the systems they interact with; Coordinate the integration of modules including electrical, mechanical, harnessing, and software interfaces with the full robotic system with deep understanding of timelines to drive the respective PCBAs, enclosures, build and test fixtures, connectors and cables; Establish effective cadences for technical reviews, BOM readiness, change management, production releases, approvals, and decision tracking; Align harnesses, fasteners, assembly fixtures, test fixtures, and documentation so cross-functional teams can execute against a clear plan; Lead validation planning around functional, reliability, NVH failure modes, including testing needs, schedules, and exit criteria; Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to manage handoffs, lead times, dependencies, and production readiness; Drive tradeoff decisions across cost, quality, performance, schedule, and lead time by collaborating cross-functionally and quantifying impact to meet program deliverables

Requirements

Experience in developing camera modules, microphones/speakers, radar, proximity sensing, etc. and their integration into mobile robots; Led complex electromechanical hardware programs from requirements through manufacturing; Understanding engineering development systems for version control, change management, technical reviews, approvals, and production releases; Ability to work effectively across engineering, test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams
