Job summary

Slope is looking for a TPM to drive development and integration of sensor systems for robotics. This role requires coordinating across requirements, engineering design, integration, validation, manufacturing, supply chain, and release processes to bring complex sensor-system needs into clear plans and milestones.

Based in San Francisco, this position emphasizes in-person collaboration and tight integration across hardware and software teams to deliver robust sensor subsystems for mobile robots.

Qualifications

• Experience leading sensor-system programs from requirements through manufacturing.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration across design, test, manufacturing, and supply chain.
• Hands-on experience with camera modules, LiDAR, IMUs, radar, and related sensors.

Responsibilities

• Drive requirements alignment across engineering design, integration, testing, and validation for camera modules, LiDAR, IMUs, RADAR, proximity sensors, audio components and the systems they interact with.
• Coordinate integration of electrical, mechanical, harnessing, and software interfaces with the robotic system and manage PCBAs, enclosures, fixtures and cables.
• Establish cadences for technical reviews, BOM readiness, change management, production releases, approvals, and decision tracking.
• Align harnesses, fasteners, assembly fixtures, test fixtures, and documentation for clear cross-functional plans.
• Lead validation planning around functional, reliability, NVH failure modes, including testing needs, schedules, and exit criteria.
• Partner with manufacturing and supply chain to manage handoffs, lead times, dependencies, and production readiness.
• Drive tradeoff decisions across cost, quality, performance, schedule, and lead time by collaborating cross-functionally and quantifying impact to meet program deliverables.
