Atlas Technical Project Manager- Structures

Structures Technical Project Manager

As the Structures Technical Project Manager for a new product team you will help coordinate the development lifecycle of robotics structure, cabling, and paneling from early stage design coordination to mass production. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical and electrical engineers as well as stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of new designs. You will work with the Program Manager, Hardware Design Managers, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and engineering leads to build comprehensive project plans, which align resources and budgets with project scope, as well as ensuring risks are identified and mitigated. You'll work closely with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to ensure timely delivery of robust, manufacturable, and performance-optimized humanoid structural components, including primary structure, external paneling, and internal cabling systems. The role is a unique opportunity to be part of the big picture of a next generation product.

Day-to-day activities:

• Work with functional leads to establish a schedule within the master program schedule and track performance
• Coordinate with stakeholders to define project scope, objectives, and deliverables
• Use resource planning to identify bottlenecks, unblock them, and adjust schedules accordingly
• Continually track projects and update stakeholders on top priorities and the critical path
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks to project delivery, and implement effective contingency plans when necessary
• Coordinate with Supply Chain to ensure on-time delivery of all critical components
• Coordinate design reviews to ensure all required deliverables meet high engineering standards, enabling a seamless transition from development to manufacturing
• Ensure rigorous documentation, change control, and versioning of structural components and associated cable harnesses

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in engineering design
• 2+ years of prior experience in project management on a complex shipping product, preferably in robotics or automotive
• Deep experience interacting with all elements of the Product Design and New Product Introduction process including design engineering stages, verification and validation, compliance, quality engineering, manufacturing logistics, and marketing.
• Excellent project management and communication skills. Be comfortable with scheduling, milestones, tracking, and helping drive meetings to obtain consensus. Make 1-1 connections with staff, understand the big picture, and communicate that out to project stakeholders.
• Proficiency in waterfall project management tools and software (e.g. Smartsheets, Microsoft Project):

Desired Qualifications:

• Familiarity with mass production manufacturing techniques and lead times, such as casting, stamping, extrusions, injection molding
• Familiarity with supply chain and vendor qualification for mechanical and electromechanical assemblies
