The 20 open staff operations jobs that publish US pay start at $185K on average, so this job starts about 9% higher.Similar open jobs: We Love AI Jobs lists 26 open staff operations jobs at 14 companies.Remote work: This job is hybrid. 2 of the 26 staff operations jobs (8%) are remote.AI in this role: Low. The company works with AI, but AI is a small part of this role's daily work. This role coordinates hardware development and cross-functional program execution rather than building or operating AI systems. The posting does not mention regular work with AI models or tools.## Full descriptionAgility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.About the RoleWe are seeking a Staff Hardware Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive cross-functional execution and alignment for our next-generation hardware platforms. This role manages the complete hardware product development lifecycle from early concept and product definition to detailed design, build execution (EVT/DVT/PVT), validation, commercialization, and General Availability (GA).As the connective tissue of the hardware development organization, the Staff Hardware TPM coordinates multidisciplinary teams spanning core engineering, operations, go-to-market, and service organizations. You will establish scalable execution frameworks, manage the critical path, mitigate risks, and build structures that ensure predictable, high-quality delivery of complex hardware systems.About the WorkEnd-to-End Hardware Lifecycle Ownership• Full-Lifecycle Leadership: Own integrated execution planning and delivery tracking across all stages of hardware development (Concept → Architecture Definition → Detailed Design → Proto/EVT/DVT/PVT Builds → Mass Production & GA).• Critical Path Management: Define, track, and manage the integrated master schedule, dependencies, hardware build readiness, and critical path milestones across hardware, firmware, and release streams.• Risk & Mitigation: Proactively identify program risks, long-lead component bottlenecks, resourcing gaps, and technical trade-offs; drive mitigation strategies to keep programs on track.Cross-Functional Engineering Integration• Cross-Domain Alignment: Serve as the central coordination point across Product, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), Firmware (FW) and SW teams• Design & Architecture Alignment: Facilitate interface alignment, system-level trade-off discussions, and structured technical review cycles across hardware and software disciplines.• Build Execution & Validation: Coordinate prototype build bring-up, joint HW/FW integration, and system validation (EVT/DVT) testing cycles to ensure functional and quality gates are met.Operations, Supply Chain & Manufacturing Bridge• NPI & Operations Integration: Partner closely with New Product Introduction (NPI), Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to track component readiness, tooling leads, vendor deliverables, and factory build execution.• Design for Excellence (DFX): Ensure DFM/DFA/DFT requirements are integrated into early mechanical and electrical detailed design phases.• Cost & BOM Tracking: Manage program level tracking for BOM health, unit economics, tooling capital expenditure, and vendor execution dependencies.Commercialization & Go-to-Market (GTM)• Business & Service Alignment: Partner with Commercial, Marketing, Services, and Field Operations teams to align delivery schedules with launch readiness, field support structures, and commercial milestones.• Executive Transparency: Drive regular operational reviews, maintain program dashboards, and communicate status, trade-offs, and critical escalations to executive leadership.Execution Rigor & Process Scalability• Greenfield & Scalable Systems: Build and refine scalable hardware governance, gate-review processes, and execution frameworks tailored for rapid scaling.• Continuous Improvement: Post-build retrospectives to elevate predictable execution across development cycles.About You• Experience: 10+ years of technical program management experience leading complex hardware products through full lifecycle development (Concept to Volume Production / GA).• Domain Expertise: Strong deep-dive familiarity with Systems Engineering, Architecture development, HW, SW and test. Demonstrated track record working with product requirements and managing early development.• Cross-Functional Reach: Proven success collaborating across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing ops, and GTM teams.
