Full Job Description
Serve as the principal operational architect of our deployment division, driving the end-to-end robotics lifecycle. As a senior IC, you will bridge commercial strategy, technical execution, and global supply chain operations to scale complex multi-vendor enterprise deployments and launch new markets across North America. Key Responsibilities • End-to-End Program Execution: Act as the lead program owner for our most complex, high-value enterprise rollouts. Drive cross-functional execution across Commercial, Solutions Engineering, and Field Ops to ensure seamless delivery of custom AI-robotics integrations and Pudu fleets. • Logistics & Supply Chain Orchestration: Design and optimize the operational workflows for our hardware supply chain. Coordinate international freight, customs/import compliance, localized warehousing, and spare parts distribution networks (including 3PLs) to ensure hardware is on-site and on-time for new market deployments. • Principal OEM Technical Bridge: Serve as the primary technical liaison and senior escalation point for Pudu Robotics and future OEM partners. Translate North American field data into actionable product requirements to influence overseas hardware/software engineering roadmaps. • Systems Architecture & Standardization: Architect the internal tools and processes required to scale. Design advanced workflows in agile/tracking tools (Jira, Asana, ERP systems) to unify global teams. Build out data-driven reporting for key operational metrics (fleet uptime, deployment time-to-value, MTTR, inventory turns).
