Sr Technical Program Manager, Amazon Robotics
Job ID: 2865741 | Amazon.com Services LLC
DESCRIPTION
Do you want to create worldwide impact in Robotics? Amazon Robotics is building high-performance, real-time robotic systems that can perceive, learn, and act intelligently alongside humans—at Amazon scale. Our team invents and scales AI systems for robotics in fulfillment. We invent new hardware configurations and end of arm tools. We deploy software to manage fleets of robots across the world. Our team’s mission is to enable robots to interact safely, efficiently, and fluently with the clutter and uncertainty of real-world fulfillment centers. Our AI solutions enable robots to learn from their own experiences, from each other, and from humans to build intelligence that feeds itself.
We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to help deploy our technologies to Europe, working with teams of scientists and engineers across all robotics disciplines in both the US and Germany. The ideal candidate has deployed automation systems into production environments. They think well at the system level, but can dive into the details and work with our subject matter experts. They are extremely well organized and have a proven track record of delivering multi-disciplinary products with a high degree of technical innovation. They will work both outwards with senior management and inwards with our technical development team. You thrive in a highly collaborative, creative, analytical, and fast-paced environment in solving problems in connecting the suppliers to the customers optimally.
Some travel (up to 25%) is expected, including regular trips to Europe to support rolling out our technology in the EU and collaborating with our development teams there.
Key job responsibilities
In this role you will be responsible for scoping and delivering projects across the Amazon Robotics org. Responsibilities include collection of business and systems requirements from internal and external customers, writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch. You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts between internal teams and outside merchants and vendors to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to make appropriate tradeoffs to optimize time-to-market, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to internal cross-functional and remote project teams.
The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience leading projects, and will have a well-rounded technical background in software and hardware systems. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done.
As a TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.
