About AIM - AIM is a well-funded, mission-oriented startup focused on radically scaling our civilization’s capabilities to build planetary-scale infrastructure and reverse negative effects of climate change. AIM is growing the team with motivated individuals with a passion for landing great products built with a strong engineering culture. If you find massive robots making a positive impact in the real world tantalizing, get in touch!

AIM has been built by a team of engineers who landed cutting‑edge systems at Google, Waymo, Space

X, Tesla, Apple, Dropbox, Stripe, Google[x] and Microsoft, and are backed by General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Elad Gil, Human Capital, Ironspring Ventures, Mantis, DCVC, among other great allies.

About us

AIM builds autonomy for the real world - robots that move mountains. Our systems fuse hardware, robotics, autonomy, and mission‑critical software into ruggedized, safety‑critical machinery that operates on job sites across the world. We are replacing decades of manual, error‑prone, high‑risk work with intelligent, automated machines that transform how earthmoving is done.

You’ll drive programs that bring autonomy from development into the physical world. AIM machines operate across challenging real‑world environments - varying terrain, climates, materials, and operating conditions. TPMs at AIM orchestrate the engineering, hardware, and field efforts required to ensure our autonomy stack performs consistently and safely across these real operational domains.

We’re growing fast, scaling globally, and building the operational backbone that will define the next century of construction.

About you

You’re looking for a career where you lead programs that matter - programs where success is measured in moving earth, saving lives, and unlocking economic productivity. You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy stitching together hardware, robotics, AI, and software into coherent, executable plans. You look at problems holistically and understand that the last mile of autonomy is not just an algorithm problem - it’s a systems engineering, safety engineering, and program execution problem.

You’re deeply technical. You can dive into architecture discussions on perception pipelines, real‑time control loops, hardware interfaces, and ruggedization constraints; but you can also zoom out to define business goals, manage risk, and help teams make the right trade‑offs. You’re able to influence engineers, leadership, vendors, customers, and partners - through crisp communication, sound judgment, and a reputation for delivering results.

You’re comfortable driving programs that span firmware, autonomy, embedded systems, cloud infra, hydraulics, relays, safety circuits, GNSS/INS, and on‑machine compute. You partner closely with engineering managers and principal engineers to turn chaos into clarity, ambiguity into strategy, and strategy into execution.

About us together

We’re going to change how the world builds. Along the way, we’ll face seemingly impossible challenges - machine safety, sensor reliability, end‑to‑end latency, customer deployment friction, supply chain unpredictability, and the unforgiving physics of 100‑ton machines moving autonomously. We will argue passionately about the best solutions, iterate quickly, confront the truth when things don’t work, and build mechanisms that allow us to scale with quality.

We’ll make hard decisions, but they will be grounded in data, field learning, and customer value. And we’ll do it as a single, aligned engineering culture.

If this excites you - you’re the kind of TPM who thrives here.

As a Senior TPM, you will orchestrate the end‑to‑end lifecycle of AIM’s most critical cross‑functional programs:

• Own the roadmap for complex programs spanning hardware, robotics, autonomy, and cloud infrastructure.
• Define program mission, vision, tenets, success metrics, and long‑term goals.
• Translate ambiguous problems into clear requirements and orchestrate delivery across multiple…
