Program Manager, Product Development & Launch

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots -- hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're moving fast from prototype to high-volume production, and we need the program management infrastructure to get there without breaking things along the way. This role is central to that.

Note: This role is hybrid, with 3 days/week at our NYC office and 1 day/week at our Glen Cove, NY robotics factory.

We are unable to offer Visa sponsorship at this time.

The Role

We're looking for a Program Manager to own the full lifecycle of our hardware products -- from early concept through manufacturing ramp, launch, and field stabilization. You'll be the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and go-to-market, holding every function accountable to schedule, scope, and quality while keeping leadership oriented on what matters.

This is not a coordination role. You'll own the integrated program plan, run structured cross-functional reviews, manage a live risk register, and make hard calls when workstreams fall out of alignment. The complexity is real -- hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing moving in parallel -- and so is the accountability.

You'll report directly to the VP of Operations and work closely with the executive team on program health and key decisions.

- Hold all functions accountable to schedule, scope, and quality milestones -- and escalate clearly when something is at risk

Cross-Functional Leadership & Coordination

- Serve as the connective tissue across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, sales, and marketing
