Program Manager, Product Development & Launch

Propel human productivity through the world's most accessible robots.

People don't work at Standard Bots to make robots. They work here to make tomorrow easier. It’s fascinating, rewarding, and most of all, incredibly difficult to do. That’s why we’re searching for people who are up for the challenge. Who are optimistic about the future. Who are hell-bent on accelerating human progress through the integration of hardware, software, firmware, and electronics.

If you’re as motivated by the possibilities as we are, join us.

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the program management infrastructure to get there without breaking things along the way. This role is central to that.

We're looking for a Program Manager to own the full lifecycle of our hardware products -- from early concept through manufacturing ramp, launch, and field stabilization. You'll be the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and go-to-market, holding every function accountable to schedule, scope, and quality while keeping leadership oriented on what matters.

This is not a coordination role. You'll own the integrated program plan, run structured cross-functional reviews, manage a live risk register, and make hard calls when work streams fall out of alignment. The complexity is real -- hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing moving in parallel -- and so is the accountability.

You’ll report directly to the VP of Operations and work closely with the executive team on program health and key decisions.

• 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 work streams
• Hold all functions accountable to schedule, scope, and quality milestones -- and elevate 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 work streams 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 elevate -- 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…
