ARX RoboticsAbout the roleWe are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager (m/f/d) to lead cross-functional programs that translate advanced perception, autonomy, and ruggedized hardware into deployed, mission-ready capabilities.
You will be responsible for managing schedule, cost, scope, and risk from early concept through integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment, working closely with engineering, product, manufacturing and supply chain teams, as well as customer stakeholders in defense environments.
To join our team, you should be excited to
drive program planning, multi-phase roadmaps, and gated milestones (design → development → integration → flight/field test → production → sustainment)
manage integrated master schedules (IMS), budgets, dependencies, and critical path; resolve blockers and course-correct fast
Lead cross-functional execution across autonomy software, embedded systems, perception, avionics/mechatronics, hardware, and manufacturing; align internal teams and vendors
capture customer/mission requirements, define success criteria, and ensure verification/validation and acceptance are unambiguous
program increments, risk reviews, EACs, change control, and executive readouts; keep crisp, action-oriented communication
identify technical, schedule, supply, regulatory, and field risks; keep a living risk register with mitigations and triggers
Coordinate test & deployments:
plan lab, range, and customer site tests; synthesize results into decisions and next-step plans
Proven experience in leading complex, technical hardware-software programs (robotics, autonomy, automotive, or adjacent)
Bachelor's/Master's in Engineering, CS, or related; technical depth to engage with senior engineers across autonomy, perception, embedded, and hardware
Track record shipping to production or fielding systems in regulated/mission-critical domains; mastery of schedule and execution
risk registers, change management, supplier management, and quality gates
Excellent stakeholder communication—from engineers to executives to defense end-users; ruthless prioritization and clarity under ambiguity
