Original job description

We're 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 - you'll 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 builder's role at a pivotal moment. You'll 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. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Technical Director, translating strategy and architecture into concrete roadmaps and results. It's 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
Bachelor's 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
