The posting

About Standard Bots

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.

Note: This role is hybrid, with 3 days/week at our NYC office and 1 day/week at our Glen Cove, NY robotics factory.

We are unable to offer Visa sponsorship at this time.

The Role

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 workstreams 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.

What You'll Do

End-to-End Program Ownership

- 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

Cross-Functional Leadership & Coordination

- 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

Executive Communication & Program Reviews

- 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

Risk Management & Issue Resolution

- 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

Factory Ramp & Manufacturing Readiness

- 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 all aligned to hit ramp targets on time and at quality

Beta Program & Field Stabilization

- 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

Program Budget & Resource Tracking

- 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

What You’ll Bring

- 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 -- you can 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 -- you identify issues before they become blockers and own the mitigation plan, not just the flag

Nice to Have

- Experience scaling a hardware product from low-volume prototype to higher-volume production

- Background in robotics, automation hardware, or high-complexity electromechanical systems

- Exposure to firmware or software development cycles in a hardware-integrated context

- Familiarity with structured beta and field stabilization programs

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is $180,000 to $220,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
