Job description

What the role actually is

Collaborative Robotics is hiring a senior deployment program manager to own the path from project plan to working robot fleet at customer sites. The role is remote within the U.S. and expects regular travel for implementation, testing, and customer coordination.

This is program management close to the product surface: the person has to coordinate engineering, solutions, operations, sales, and customer teams while turning deployment lessons into repeatable processes.

What you would work on

• Oversee onsite testing and readiness work for robot fleets before customer launch
• Coordinate scope, milestones, schedules, risk mitigation, and delivery across internal and external teams
• Work directly with customers to understand operational requirements and deployment constraints
• Turn lessons from pilots and launches into improved workflows, documentation, and process changes

What they are asking for

• Program or project management experience with end-to-end accountability for multiple technical projects
• Experience deploying robotics, automation, or related systems in real customer environments
• Working understanding of robotic systems, hardware/software integration, and deployment methods
• Ability to communicate clearly with customers, engineers, operations teams, and leadership

Why this one is worth a look

Collaborative Robotics is explicitly designing robots around human environments. This role is interesting because it sits where the company's HRI promise has to survive the messy parts of real deployment: customer workflows, fleet prep, travel, troubleshooting, and repeatability.
