Staff Technical Program Manager, Counter Intrusion

The Sentry product line is Andurils family of land-based situational awareness platforms modular systems integrating power structure robotics sensors compute and communications. These systems are deployed globally to deliver 24/7 force protection border security and domain awareness for our customers.

Were seeking a hands-on technically fluent Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the hardware development and maturation of our Sentry platform from concept through scaled production.

This role bridges capability engineering manufacturing and supply chainensuring our designs evolve from prototype to field-ready products with the reliability quality and repeatability required for mission success. The ideal candidate has deep experience in hardware product development and system integration thrives in ambiguous environments and loves building systems that ship.

Youll partner with mechanical electrical and robotics engineers; drive integration of sensors and electromechanical subsystems; and ensure a smooth transition from engineering to production. Youll also serve as the primary POC between the product team and internal business lines balancing customer urgency with disciplined execution.

This isnt a coordination job its an opportunity to build and scale real deployable systems that protect lives and reshape defense operations. Youll be part of a small high-ownership team that works at the intersection of engineering execution and product impact ensuring that cutting-edge autonomous platforms move from the lab to the field fast reliable and at scale.

• Lead hardware product development across core subsystems and full system integration into high-performance mission-critical autonomous platforms.
• Partner with engineering leads to plan execute and deliver design build and test milestones through production readiness.
• Drive design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA) supplier engagement and hand-off to manufacturing and supply chain teams.
• Manage prototype builds integration events and system-level validation and reliability testing.
• Own risk management and schedule execution for hardware deliverables; escalate blockers and drive resolution.
• Work directly with production test and quality to ensure systems meet reliability qualification and sustainment requirements (MIL-STD experience preferred).
• Support field deployments and test events to gather feedback debug issues and identify improvement opportunities.
• Establish lightweight repeatable processes to improve team velocity and predictability without sacrificing agility.
• Communicate status risks and decisions to engineering product and program stakeholders clearly and confidently.

• 10 years experience driving hardware product development and system integration in robotics defense aerospace automotive or industrial systems.
• Proven track record taking electromechanical systems from prototype through production and sustainment.
• Strong technical fluency in mechanical electrical or systems engineering domains (power systems sensors mechatronics or robotics).
• Deep familiarity with manufacturing processes DFM/DFA BOM management and supplier readiness.
• Experience with qualification reliability and environmental testing (e.g. MIL-STD DO-160 automotive validation).
• Hands-on mindset comfortable on the build floor or at test events not just in meetings.
• Exceptional ability to manage cross-functional execution and communicate clearly across disciplines.
• Bias for action; thrives in a startup-like fast-moving environment with incomplete information.
• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Electrical Systems or related Engineering field (advanced degree preferred).
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

• Background in sensor integration (EO/IR radar GPS or similar).
• Prior work in defense autonomy or mission-critical systems.
• Familiarity with hardware-software co-development and system-level integration testing.
• Experience leading small technical teams or mentoring junior TPMs.
