My client is building a general-purpose humanoid robot designed for physical labour across real-world environments — spanning AI, software, mechanical, electrical, and controls, all converging into one production-ready product. They are looking for a Technical Program Manager to own that convergence end-to-end, from concept through production readiness.
What you’ll own:
- The full NPI stage-gate process (APQP/VDA or EVT/DVT/PVT) — gate criteria, design reviews (PDR/CDR/ID/CMF), prototype build stages, go/no-go decisions
- Cross-functional delivery across AI, software, controls, hardware and industrial design — keeping parallel workstreams converging into one coherent system
- Risk, safety and regulatory compliance (CE, FCC, Machinery Directive, ISO) as critical-path items
- Supply chain and production readiness — DFM/DFA, tooling (T0→T1→T2), component qualification, pilot runs and ramp
- Budget, BOM cost tracking, and engineering change control (ECO/ECN) across hardware, software and firmware baselines
What you’ll bring:
- 7+ years in Technical/Engineering Program Management delivering complex physical products through a full NPI cycle — robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or deep-tech. You’ve shipped hardware, not just software.
- Real mechanical, hardware and electrical experience — enough to go toe-to-toe with technical leads on architecture, trade-offs and constraints, not just track their timelines.
- Start‑up experience — you know how to build scalable delivery process from scratch in a fast‑moving, resource‑constrained environment, and you thrive in ambiguity rather than waiting for structure to be handed to you.
- Hands‑on fluency with stage‑gated development (APQP/VDA or EVT/DVT/PVT), BOM management, requirements traceability
- Supplier/CM experience — DFM/DFA, tooling, production ramp
- Engineering, physics or related technical degree; PMP/PRINCE2/IPMA a plus
