Mind Robotics Technical Program Manager, Software at Mind Robotics owning the software program plan end-to-end and building the program management practice. Drive alignment of software and hardware milestones.

Responsibilities

End-to-End Ownership: Own the software program plan end to end — from roadmap planning through implementation, integration, validation, and release to the fleet — and own the functional outcome, not just the schedule.
Program Practice Design: Establish how software program management works at Mind: the planning rhythm that connects team-level work to org-level milestones, what qualifies as a milestone, what "done" means at each one, and the artifacts that support both the individual engineer and leadership in prioritization and decision making.
Milestone Planning: Build software plans that align with org-level milestones, including clear definitions of what “done” means at each step.
Metric Tracking: Monitor and report on key program metrics, and communicate status, blockers, and risks to leadership.
Progress Tracking & Status Integrity: Build the tracking layer that answers whether we are on or off track, drawn from the systems teams already work in.
Risk Mitigation: Identify and escalate technical, dependency, and resourcing risks early, and and drive them to resolution.
Technical / Business Judgment: Engage directly in architecture and design discussions at a depth sufficient to stress-test engineering estimates and pressure-test readiness. Drive decisions at that level with understanding of the impacts to our business goals.
