  • Coordinate with stakeholders to define project scope, objectives, and deliverables

  • Use resource planning to identify bottlenecks, unblock them, and adjust schedules accordingly

  • Continually track projects and update stakeholders on top priorities and the critical path

  • Proactively identify and mitigate risks to program delivery, and implement effective contingency plans when necessary

  • Be a champion for effectively scaling embodied AI safety

We are looking for:

  • Bachelor's degree in software engineering, robotics, or a related field

  • 7+ years of experience working in large-scale software, robotics, and/or machine learning development environments
