Job Description
What You’ll Do
Drive cross-functional programs at the frontier of AI and robotics — from foundation model training to hardware–software integration — with relentless pace and accountability
Turn ambitious goals into lean, unambiguous roadmaps: clear deliverables, clear owners, clear timelines
Dive into robotics hardware, software, graphics, and large-scale AI to understand trade-offs, surface uncertainties, and ask the questions others miss
Keep Bay Area and Europe teams tightly aligned, dependencies unblocked, and risks visible early
Build lightweight systems (roadmaps, metrics, dashboards) that keep execution brutally focused
What You’ll Bring
8+ years leading complex technical programs end-to-end in high-intensity environments
Strong technical depth and curiosity across disciplines — you learn fast and go deep where it matters
Crisp, direct communication that aligns researchers, engineers, and leadership
Bias for action and ownership — you don’t just track, you drive to completion at breakneck speed
Bonus: experience in robotics, hardware/software integration, or research workflows
