Staff Technical Program Manager at OpenReq in San Carlos, AZ

Company

Genesis is a global physical AI lab and full-stack robotics company. We build generalist robots to unlock unlimited physical labor, so humans can focus on creativity, curiosity, and what we love.

We recently raised a $105M Seed round backed by Khosla Ventures and Eclipse, and we're looking to rapidly expand our software and hardware teams. As a result, we are looking for our first technical program management hire to own all things programs from hardware, software, and research.

What You’ll Do

• Drive cross-functional programs at the frontier of AI and robotics — from foundation model training to hardware–software integration — with relentless pace and accountability
• Turn ambitious goals into lean, unambiguous roadmaps: clear deliverables, clear owners, clear timelines
• Dive into robotics hardware, software, graphics, and large-scale AI to understand trade-offs, surface uncertainties, and ask the questions others miss
• Keep Bay Area and Europe teams tightly aligned, dependencies unblocked, and risks visible early
• Build lightweight systems (roadmaps, metrics, dashboards) that keep execution brutally focused

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years leading complex technical programs end-to-end in high-intensity environments
• Strong technical depth and curiosity across disciplines — you learn fast and go deep where it matters
• Crisp, direct communication that aligns researchers, engineers, and leadership
• Bias for action and ownership — you don’t just track, you drive to completion at breakneck speed
• Bonus: experience in robotics, hardware/software integration, or research workflows
