Staff Hardware Technical Program Manager

Agility; Fremont (CA); On-site; USD 160,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Agility in Fremont is seeking a Staff TPM to own the operating cadence for its next-generation humanoid hardware programs. The role sits between product definition, hardware engineering, operations, and launch readiness.

You will build the integrated program plan across concept through general availability, track milestones, surface risks, and create execution frameworks that make hardware delivery more predictable.

Qualifications

• Staff-level technical program management experience on complex hardware products.
• Comfort coordinating multidisciplinary engineering, operations, service, and commercial teams.
• Experience with hardware development phases such as EVT, DVT, PVT, production readiness, or launch execution.
• Ability to translate technical risk and schedule movement into clear decisions for senior stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Build the integrated program plan across concept, architecture, prototype builds, validation, production, and general availability
• Track critical path milestones, dependencies, build readiness, and release commitments across hardware, firmware, operations, and service
• Surface long-lead component risks, resourcing gaps, and technical trade-offs early enough for teams to act
• Create execution frameworks that make complex robot hardware delivery more predictable

Job description

What the role actually is

This Staff TPM owns the operating cadence for Agility's next-generation humanoid hardware programs. The work sits between product definition, hardware engineering, operations, go-to-market, service, and launch readiness.

What you would work on

• Build the integrated program plan across concept, architecture, prototype builds, validation, production, and general availability
• Track critical path milestones, dependencies, build readiness, and release commitments across hardware, firmware, operations, and service
• Surface long-lead component risks, resourcing gaps, and technical trade-offs early enough for teams to act
• Create execution frameworks that make complex robot hardware delivery more predictable

What they are asking for

• Staff-level technical program management experience on complex hardware products
• Comfort coordinating multidisciplinary engineering, operations, service, and commercial teams
• Experience with hardware development phases such as EVT, DVT, PVT, production readiness, or launch execution
• Ability to translate technical risk and schedule movement into clear decisions for senior stakeholders

Why this one is worth a look

This is a hardware-heavy role, but it is still squarely about getting a robot product from definition to a reliable launch. Agility is already deploying Digit into logistics and manufacturing environments, so the useful question here is not just whether the robot works, but whether the organization can repeatedly turn new platform decisions into field-ready systems.
