About the role

Program Manager responsible for end-to-end hardware product development, manufacturing ramp, launch, and field stabilization at Standard Bots. Acts as the cross-functional integrator across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, sales, and marketing to ensure schedule, scope, and quality.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full lifecycle of a hardware product from concept through development, manufacturing ramp, launch, and field stabilization
  • Maintain a single integrated program plan spanning hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing, and go-to-market workstreams
  • Hold all functions accountable to schedule, scope, and quality milestones -- and escalate clearly when something is at risk
  • Serve as the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, sales, and marketing
  • Run structured cross-functional reviews that surface misalignment early and keep workstreams from creating downstream risk for the program
  • Build the relationships and operating rhythms that make fast, high-quality execution possible across a diverse set of stakeholders
  • Own the preparation and delivery of regular executive-level program reviews
  • Translate complex, multi-threaded program status into clear narratives around schedule health, risk, cost, and decisions needed from leadership
  • Keep stakeholders aligned and informed without burying them in detail
  • Proactively identify program risks across all functions before they become blockers
  • Maintain a live risk register and drive mitigation plans with clear owners and timelines
  • Make the call on when to escalate -- and do it early enough to matter
  • Lead manufacturing readiness milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP) in close partnership with manufacturing engineering and supply chain
  • Ensure design releases, tooling, test fixtures, work instructions, and supplier readiness are aligned to hit ramp targets on time and at quality
  • Design and manage structured beta programs to surface product issues before broad launch
  • Coordinate feedback loops between field teams and engineering, and own the post-launch stabilization plan
  • Track field performance metrics, drive corrective actions, and define the bar for what "stable" looks like
  • Partner with Finance to track program budgets, capital expenditures, and resource allocation across functions
  • Flag variances early and ensure financial milestones align with program phase gates

Qualifications

  • 6-10 years in technical program management, with direct experience owning hardware product lifecycles end-to-end
  • Deep familiarity with hardware development cycles -- EVT, DVT, PVT, MP -- and what it takes to hit manufacturing readiness milestones on time and at quality
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional programs across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and go-to-market without direct authority
  • Strong executive communication skills -- distill a complex, multi-threaded program into a crisp status narrative and know what leadership actually needs to hear
  • Experience managing program budgets and tracking resource allocation across functions
  • A proactive risk mindset -- identify issues before they become blockers and own the mitigation plan, not just the flag
