Technical Program Manager, Sensors
Leads cross-functional development and integration of robotic sensor systems from requirements through manufacturing and release. The role requires experience with complex electromechanical hardware programs, sensor technologies, validation, production readiness, and engineering change processes.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Drive requirements alignment across engineering design, integration, testing, and validation for camera modules, LiDAR, IMUs, RADAR, proximity sensors, audio components, and related robotic systems.
- Coordinate electrical, mechanical, harnessing, and software interface integration across the full robotic system, including PCBAs, enclosures, build and test fixtures, connectors, and cables.
- Establish 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 for functional, reliability, and NVH failure modes, including testing needs, schedules, and exit criteria.
- Partner with manufacturing and supply chain on handoffs, lead times, dependencies, and production readiness.
- Drive cost, quality, performance, schedule, and lead-time tradeoff decisions through cross-functional collaboration and quantified impact analysis.
Requirements
- Experience developing camera modules, microphones/speakers, radar, proximity sensing, or similar sensor systems and integrating them into mobile robots.
- Experience leading complex electromechanical hardware programs from requirements through manufacturing.
- Understanding of engineering development systems for version control, change management, technical reviews, approvals, and production releases.
- Ability to work effectively across engineering, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
