- Fauna Robotics is seeking a Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end program execution for robotic hardware systems, driving cross-functional teams from concept through production ramp. You will lead hardware development milestones across mechanical, electrical, firmware
- software domains while managing supplier engagement, manufacturing readiness
- cross-site coordination. This role partners directly with product management, applied science
- executive stakeholders to define strategy, remove blockers
- deliver robots that are as delightful as they are capable. Key job responsibilities As a Technical Program Manager, you will work with experienced cross-disciplinary engineering teams to develop and deploy robotic systems. In this role, you will: - Own end-to-end program execution for robotic hardware systems from concept through design verification, pilot
- production ramp - Work with product management, applied science
- executive stakeholders to define program strategy, requirements
- success criteria - Deep dive on key technical issues spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware
- software domains — leading teams to find solutions within program constraints - Own and maintain cross-functional development schedules, identifying critical path and driving accountability across teams - Lead hardware development milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT) following stage-gate processes, ensuring design maturity at each phase - Drive supplier engagement and manufacturing readiness, including travel to vendor sites for prototype builds, tooling reviews
- production validation - Communicate regularly with senior management on program status, risks
- key decisions — escalating effectively when needed - Manage resource prioritization, drive cost optimization efforts
- look around corners to prevent common development pitfalls Define and improve team processes, templates
- mechanisms that scale across multiple concurrent programs - Coordinate cross-site execution with remote engineering teams and contract manufacturers About the team Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe
- genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces. We believe that future won’t arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We’re changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer
- more intuitive to create real-world robotic products. Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling
- intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We’re building robots that feel responsive, expressive
- genuinely useful. At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate
- interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build. If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you.
