Intrinsic is Alphabet’s bet aiming to reimagine the potential of industrial robotics. Our team believes that advances in AI, perception and simulation will redefine what’s possible for industrial robotics in the near future – with software and data at the core. 

Our mission is to make industrial robotics intelligent, accessible, and usable for millions more businesses, entrepreneurs, and developers. We are a dynamic team of engineers, roboticists, designers, and technologists who are passionate about unlocking the creative and economic potential of industrial robotics.

Role

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM), you’ll manage the delivery of cutting edge automation technology and robotic solutions to our customers and partners. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with some amazing and talented people, who also happen to be working on highly creative and ambitious efforts.

You will manage and coordinate engagements with industry leading companies and partners of Intrinsic. While each engagement differs to some extent, they generally share the aim to deliver our cutting edge technology and products to make robots usable by more people and businesses at scale in a radically simplified way. To achieve that, you will facilitate alignment on scope & feasibility and manage execution of internal development and external delivery. All while collaborating closely with a wide range of external and internal stakeholders - Product Managers, Program Managers, Software Engineers, Roboticists, Machine-Learning experts, and leadership. 

As part of the overall TPM team, you will collaborate closely with your peers to evolve our shared standards and processes, enabling successful deliveries to our customers and partners at scale. 

This role will require domestic and regular international travel to visit partners and customers.

How your work moves the mission forward

  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver novel, cutting edge automation technology and robotic solutions to customers and partners
  • Facilitate alignment on scope and timelines that capture needs while balancing feasibility, quality and acceptable risk
  • Motivate by creating clarity. For example, manage change by creating clarity on: Why is the change needed? How did we decide on the change? What is changing?
  • Own an up-to-date delivery status overview and manage related risks 
  • Manage delivery budget (cost and resource allocation)
  • Guide the team to follow Intrinsic’s established standards and processes - collect feedback to evolve our operations to successfully deliver at scale
  • Represent your delivery in regular leadership updates and proactively raise flags where leadership guidance is needed for a successful delivery. 

Skills you will need to be successful

  • Experienced in applying best practice technical program/project management approaches and comfortable adapting and leveraging these in ambiguous settings with shifting priorities (project scoping/planning, risk analysis, timeline estimation, status tracking). 
  • Strength in facilitating alignment of competing needs and constraints by leveraging critical thinking, e.g. when delivering novel technologies to established industries
  • Experienced in managing collaborative external projects from start to end (incl. scope negotiation, stakeholder management, priority alignment)
  • Concise and clear communicator, especially when working with external partners and customers 
  • Expertise in navigating cultural nuances and building relationships internationally, specifically in Asia.
  • Master of Science in Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience to confidently engage in technical discussions and articulate technical concepts, both in familiar and unfamiliar areas. 

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

  • Experienced in robotic-automation specialized technical program/project management, e.g. understanding of typical phases and challenges in deploying a robotic solution
  • Systems understanding of conventional robotics and automation systems, incl. mechatronic systems engineering and functional safety
  • Familiarity with robotics technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, automated motion planning, reactive sensor control, their potential, limitations and resulting project risks  
  • Prior work in the electronics contract manufacturing industry 
  • Confident in Chinese language and/or German language (writing and speaking)

 

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $142,400 - 201,875 + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Intrinsic’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
