## About the role

Program Management at Mind is an operational catalyst. We own outcomes, drive the trade-offs that keep engineering moving, and set the metabolic rate of the teams we partner with — clearing roadblocks, closing stalled decisions, carrying risk upward, and protecting the focus engineers need to build.

## What they're looking for

- Educational Background: Bachelor's degree in engineering (software / computer science preferred), or equivalent experience
- Industry Experience: 5+ years of experience in technical program management for software products, ideally in robotics, autonomous systems, or another domain where software ships against hardware and real-world deployment constraints
- Proven Track Record: Demonstrated success taking software from early development through release and sustained operation
- Technical Depth: Strong software fundamentals with the ability to engage meaningfully in architecture, planning, and systems integration discussions
- System Complexity: Experience managing programs spanning multiple interdependent software domains along with their dependencies on hardware revisions and the availability of test hardware
- Execution & Ownership: High sense of urgency, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven by an "engineering curiosity" to understand how the entire system works
