About the role

  • You will define what gets captured, how it lands, and whether it is usable, from early task spec through pre-delivery validation.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the rig fleet end-to-end (UMI grippers, GoPros, VR headsets and controllers), including procurement, lifecycle, asset tracking, spares, and vendor relationships
  • Own rig calibration cadence and drift detection, including GoPro intrinsics, fisheye calibration, UMI gripper width drift, and per-operator VR eye-tracking calibration
  • Own new task ramp-up, including spec, SOP, pilot batch design, and quality gate sign-off before full production
  • Own task spec versioning, coordinating SOP updates, retraining triggers, and data v1/v2 marking when the model team changes a spec
  • Own the 48-hour handoff SLA, including staging, upload integrity, episode schema enforcement, and metadata completeness (operator ID, task ID, success label, timestamp written atomically)
  • build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
  • If you want to build the commercial engine that brings AI-driven manufacturing to every industrial and energy customer in America - this is it.

Requirements

  • 3-5 years as a strong PM or TPM with exposure to hardware, data pipelines, or physical workflows
  • Track record tracking and improving program metrics (usable hours, mix accuracy, SLA attainment, rejection rates)
  • Experience providing technical input in a cross-functional environment with researchers and engineers
  • Experience supporting vendor or hardware supplier relationships
  • Experience scaling a data collection program from prototype to high-volume production

Compensation

  • The base salary range for this full-time position in the location of
  • $150,000-$250,000 USD

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, and generous PTO.
  • Compensation packages at Foundry Robotics for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits.
  • Foundry Robotics employees in eligible roles are also granted equity based compensation, subject to Board of Director approval.
  • Track diversity and coverage across task variants, object positions, lighting conditions, and operator styles

  • This role is for a Strategic Project Lead who thrives on turning model team requirements into production data, equally comfortable architecting QA systems from first principles and calibrating a rig on the floor. You will define what gets captured, how it lands, and whether it is usable, from early task spec through pre-delivery validation. You will stand up the data collection program from scratch and drive rapid build-test-learn cycles to deliver a dataset that is both rigorous and scalable.
