Senior Data Project Manager: our view in 3 lines...

  • The Role:This role is for a senior project manager who can turn robot data requirements into scalable programs across research, engineering, hardware, and operations.
  • The Person:The person will translate data requirements into plans, manage schedules and risks, coordinate across teams and vendors, build operating processes, and address data quality and delivery bottlenecks.
  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has 5+ years leading complex technical programs, strong technical literacy across hardware, software, data systems, or robotics, and experience with robotics, autonomous vehicle, AI data, or hardware-software systems.

About the role

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.

Mission

Turn approved robot data requirements into reliable, scalable programs, serving as the technical bridge between Research/Engineering and Data Operations.

Responsibilities

  • Translate data requirements into executable plans, milestones, owners, dependencies, and timelines.

  • Drive programs from pilot, scale-up, production, to delivery.

  • Coordinate across Research, Hardware, Software, Data Infra, and Operations, including vendor dependencies through the Data Operations team.

  • Own program schedule, dependencies, risks, blockers, issue tracking, and escalation.

  • Establish a clear single source of truth through dashboards, documentation, and operating cadences.

  • Build scalable processes for how Research, Engineering, and Operations work together.

  • Dive into technical and operational details when needed, including data quality issues, hardware readiness, and cross-functional bottlenecks impacting data delivery.

  • Ensure data programs are delivered on time, at the required quality, and at the required scale.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years leading complex technical programs across engineering/R&D and operations.

  • Strong technical literacy across hardware, software, data systems, or robotics.

  • Demonstrated ability to bring structure to ambiguous, fast-changing programs.

  • Strong cross-functional leadership and ability to drive execution without direct authority.

  • Hands-on mindset; comfortable investigating details rather than only managing schedules.

  • Robotics, autonomous vehicle, AI data, or hardware-software systems experience preferred.
