Technical Program Manager

We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager who thrives at the intersection of engineering and execution. You’ll lead complex technical programs from concept through delivery, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, and Business teams to ensure we’re building the right things-and delivering them with quality, speed, and predictability.

This role requires deep expertise in software development programs, combined with a strong systems mindset. While your primary focus will be driving software execution, you’ll also coordinate work spanning hardware, firmware, robotics, and manufacturing. You don’t need to be an expert in every discipline, but you do need to understand how they come together to build world-class robotic systems.

In This Role, You Will

• Lead complex technical programs from planning through successful delivery, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and priorities stay aligned.
• Drive execution across Software, Robotics, Hardware, Firmware, Product, and Business teams.
• Build and maintain integrated program plans that account for cross-functional dependencies across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Identify risks early, remove blockers, and proactively drive decisions before they impact delivery.
• Facilitate clear communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders, creating alignment around priorities, timelines, and trade-offs.
• Partner with engineering leaders to balance scope, quality, and delivery schedules in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Establish lightweight, scalable program management practices that improve visibility and execution without adding unnecessary processes.

Reporting structure

This role reports directly to the Director of Software.

• You have significant experience leading complex technical programs in fast-paced engineering organizations.
• You possess deep knowledge of modern software development lifecycles and are comfortable partnering closely with software engineering teams throughout planning, development, testing, and release.
• You have a strong systems perspective and understand how software interacts with hardware, firmware, robotics, and manufacturing to deliver integrated products.
• You’ve successfully managed multidisciplinary engineering programs involving hardware and software. Experience in robotics, embedded systems, autonomous systems, industrial automation, IoT, or other complex physical products is highly preferred.
• You can quickly understand technical concepts and facilitate productive conversations across diverse engineering disciplines.
• You build credibility through technical curiosity, thoughtful communication, and strong execution-not formal authority.
• You’re highly organized, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and energized by solving complex cross-functional challenges.

Hey! We’re Molg We’re building robotic systems that make electronics manufacturing circular. We work with hyperscalers and leading electronics manufacturers to automate how hardware is designed, manufactured, disassembled, repaired, reused, and recovered. Using robotics, computational design, and AI, our systems turn today’s e-waste into resilient, data-driven supply chains-and change how electronics are made in the first place., We spend our days building robotic systems, developing complex assembly intelligence software, and designing the next generation of circular products for our customers. Given the importance of working hands-on with physical systems, we are a 100% in-person team collaboratively working in our industrial space in Sterling, VA, down the road from the largest data center market in the world. Our facility includes a variety of robots, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, and all the tools needed to build and test our products. It is important to us that anyone on our team that is interested in learning how to use our various pieces of equipment and machinery is taught and can gain the skills and appreciation for making physical things.
