About the Team Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and pushing towards AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world settings. Working across the entire model stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of physical systems. About the Role As a Technical Program Manager, Robotics Facilities, you will serve as the Robotics point-of-contact for cross-functional partners supporting the design and construction of Robotics sites. You will consolidate requirements, priorities, and decisions across Robotics disciplines and route those inputs through your counterpart, who manages design and construction partners and coordinates their workstreams. You will clarify requirements, coordinate technical and operational inputs, manage dependencies and changes, and drive timely decisions through planning, design, construction, commissioning, and handover. This role calls for sound program judgment as research and operational needs evolve. This role is based in San Francisco, CA and requires in-person presence 4 days a week. In this role, you will: - Consolidate requirements, priorities, and decisions across Robotics research, engineering, and operations teams, providing the Real-Estate Workplace counterpart with a clear and coordinated view of Robotics needs. - Translate Robotics workflows and equipment needs into documented requirements for floor layouts, utilities, network connectivity, environmental conditions, material flow, physical access, and operational support, working with technical owners to define acceptance criteria. - Coordinate Robotics design reviews, ensuring technical owners assess proposals, resolve open questions, and confirm that agreed requirements are reflected in project documents. - Track Robotics deliverables and dependencies against project milestones, surface risks and changes early, and secure decisions needed to keep work moving. - Coordinate with Legal, Finance, Security, IT, Environmental Health & Safety, and other specialists to resolve issues affecting Robotics requirements and readiness. - Coordinate Robotics readiness for equipment installation, moves, commissioning, and operational handover, with clear ownership and follow-through. - Identify facility constraints that slow experimentation or operations, and use feedback from Robotics teams to
