Rhoda AI, Mountain View
We're looking for a Senior/Staff Technical Program Manager, AI Research to help scale how research programs come together at Rhoda. This is a deeply technical, cross-functional execution role at the intersection of pre-training, post-training, applied research, data, GPU infrastructure, robotic hardware, and customer-facing model delivery.
You'll own the integrated execution plan across these efforts: connecting milestones, anticipating dependencies, driving blockers to resolution, and helping teams make timely resource and sequencing decisions. The objective is to give researchers and engineers more time to build, while making the path from research experiments to usable models more predictable.
You'll work closely with Research leadership, technical leads, infrastructure, robotics, and hardware teams. You won't need to invent the scientific roadmap yourself—but you should be technical enough to understand it, challenge assumptions constructively, and turn ambiguity into practical options.
Rhoda's capability roadmap spans faster task adaptation, instruction and demonstration following, higher execution speed, and dexterous manipulation. These breakthroughs depend on models, data, hardware, compute, and evaluation becoming ready in the right sequence. You'll help turn that complexity into a coherent execution engine—without slowing down the research itself.
Success in this role means important handoffs are clear, blockers surface early, resource conflicts are resolved faster, technical teams spend less time coordinating across silos, and leadership has a trustworthy view of milestones and risks.
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
