Purpose

Machine Development operates at the intersection of complex hardware, software, manufacturing, and operations, where successful execution depends on many teams moving together against shared technical and business outcomes. The Staff Technical Program Manager exists to create the clarity, structure, and operating discipline needed to make that happen.

This role drives the integrated execution of Machine Development programs by translating complex and often ambiguous objectives into clear plans, priorities, ownership, milestones, and decisions. The Staff TPM connects work across functions, ensures risks and issues are surfaced and resolved early, and gives teams and leaders the visibility needed to understand performance and make informed tradeoffs.

Success in this role means Machine Development executes more predictably, problems are identified and closed faster, cross-functional teams stay aligned, and the processes and operating systems supporting execution become increasingly scalable and effective over time.

• Own integrated program schedules, roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, risks, and high-level development & execution plans.

• Identify and actively manage program risks, issues, blockers, and dependencies.

• Build and continuously improve scalable business processes, operating cadences, tools, and program controls.

• Drive cross-functional execution including triage and coordination such as change requests.

• Drive action-item ownership, escalation, decision-making, and closure.<span
