Operations Program Manager - Robotics Data Acquisition

Details

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems 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 real-world systems to improve people’s lives.

This is a hands-on operations role that requires spending time on the floor, working through ambiguity, and using data to make the operation more reliable and efficient. This role is based in San Francisco, CA and requires in-person presence 5 days a week.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate daily operations readiness across workstations, operators, and materials.
• Track core operating metrics including utilization, cycle time, throughput, downtime, operator productivity, and data quality.
• Identify bottlenecks through workflow analysis, time studies, and capacity modeling, then drive practical fixes.
• Execute rollouts of new hardware, sensors, tools, and process changes with Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Supply Chain, and Safety.
• Identify equipment readiness issues and coordinate with technical support to keep workstations and test equipment calibrated, configured, maintained, and ready for rollouts and evaluations.
• Lead root cause analysis for recurring operational issues and follow through on corrective actions.
• Provide operational input to create and maintain SOPs, work instructions, training materials, and process controls.
• Identify and flag resource constraints and manage issue escalation and resolution.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or a related technical field.
• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, industrial/process engineering, operations, robotics, or production environments.
• Experience using Lean, Six Sigma, time studies, or similar methods to improve processes.
• Understanding of operating KPIs such as cycle time, takt time, throughput, utilization, yield, OEE, and uptime.
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and coordinate across floor operators and technicians to drive execution with limited supervision.
• Exposure to robotics data acquisition, autonomous vehicle systems, camera/audio systems, automation, or robotics systems.
• Comfortable working in a fast-changing, ambiguous environment and using operational data to support staffing, equipment, and facility decisions.

Benefits

• Base pay in the listed range; total compensation includes equity and potential performance-related bonuses.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts.
• Pre-tax accounts: Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expense accounts.
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
• Paid parental leave, paid medical and caregiver leave.
• Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees; 13+ paid company holidays and additional company office closures.
• Mental health and wellness support; employer-paid basic life and disability coverage.
• Annual learning and development stipend.
• Daily meals in offices and meal delivery credits as eligible.
• Relocation support for eligible employees.
• Additional taxable fringe benefits (e.g., charitable donation matching, wellness stipends).
