Director of Engineering

Were growing fast and need a Director of Engineering to be the delivery engine of our robotics organization. Reporting directly to the Technical Director of Robotics who owns technical and product direction and top-level architecture youll own how the work actually gets done: the teams processes and operational discipline that ship complex hardware-and-software systems on time and at quality.

This is a builders role at a pivotal moment. Youll stand up and scale engineering teams install the cadence and delivery practices that keep a fast-growing org predictable and coordinate execution across hardware software and product. Youll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Technical Director translating strategy and architecture into concrete roadmaps and results. Its ideal for a strong technical leader who is energized by execution team-building and scale.

- Own end-to-end delivery of robotics programs planning timelines milestones and quality
- Build structure and scale engineering teams to keep pace with rapid growth; own hiring performance and development
- Install and run operational cadence: roadmaps sprint/milestone tracking and status reporting
- Coordinate execution across hardware software product QA and deployment/field teams
- Drive integration test reliability and deployment discipline from lab to production
- Manage capacity resourcing and budget against commitments
- Surface risks early remove blockers and keep delivery predictable as the team scales
- Partner with the Technical Director to translate technical and architectural direction into executable plans
- Report delivery health and progress to the Technical Director and ATP leadership

Minimum Qualifications

- Bachelors Degree in Engineering or equivalent experience

- 10 years of professional engineering experience

- 5 years leading and managing engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications
- Proven track record shipping complex robotics or hardware-plus-software systems to production or field
- Background in robotics or an adjacent domain (autonomy mechatronics embedded controls or systems engineering)
- Strong operational and program-management skills you make delivery predictable
- Technically credible enough to guide architecture-level decisions while choosing to focus on execution
- Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management
- Bachelors or advanced degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience
- Nice to have: startup/scale-up experience manufacturing or production ramp and field-deployment operations
