About Bedrock

Our mission is to accelerate the exploration of Earth’s final frontier—the ocean—by pioneering autonomous technologies and unlocking transparent, actionable intelligence.

We believe that understanding the ocean is essential to thriving on this planet and beyond. The ocean is not just a vast body of water—it is the foundation of our climate, our resources, our communications, and our energy. As critical infrastructure increasingly moves beneath the waves, our ability to explore, map, and safeguard the ocean’s bedrock becomes vital.

We’re not just connecting the world by sea—we’re revealing the deep, unseen structure that connects all life. To secure our future, we must first understand the ground beneath us, the foundation of our civilization.

The Role

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that drive the development, integration, and deployment of our robotics systems. You will act as the connective tissue between engineering and commercial teams, ensuring technical execution aligns with customer needs, market timelines, and business goals. The ideal candidate is an experienced engineer and strategic problem-solver who thrives in complexity, ambiguity and takes full ownership of coordination, communication, and delivery—driving clarity, alignment, and successful outcomes across the organization.

What You'll Do
  • Drive end-to-end program management for our technology development, including hardware, firmware, software, and system integration.

  • Collaborate with engineering leads to define project scope, technical requirements, resources, and milestones.

  • Coordinate closely with commercial stakeholders to align technical roadmaps with business priorities, customer commitments, and go-to-market strategies.

  • Ensure that product delivery schedules and system capabilities meet or exceed commercial and contractual obligations.

  • Develop and maintain detailed program plans, timelines, risk assessments, and communication frameworks.

  • Facilitate cross-functional coordination between engineering, product, manufacturing, operations, and business development teams.

  • Identify and resolve technical and operational roadblocks to ensure delivery goals are met.

  • Serve as the central point of communication, ensuring stakeholders are informed and aligned throughout all phases of the program.

  • Implement best practices in program management and continuously improve execution processes.

  • Support decision-making with data, analysis, and clear reporting on program status, risks, and outcomes.

  • Provide clarity and communication of what we can achieve and how we will resolve challenges when things don’t go as planned

About You

Experience & Expertise

  • 8+ years of experience in technical program management, in robotics and autonomous systems.

  • Hands-on experience in deploying and operating robotic systems 

  • Proven track record managing complex, cross-disciplinary programs from prototype through production and commercialization.

  • Strong understanding of robotics technologies (e.g., mechatronics, embedded systems, perception, autonomy).

  • Experience aligning engineering deliverables with customer requirements, commercial timelines, and business strategy.

  • Exceptional communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

  • Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Asana) and Agile/Scrum methodologies.

  • Engineering or technical background (B.S. or M.S. in engineering, computer science, or related field).

  • Have both startup and corporate experiences

Explore the last true frontier left on Earth with us

We are seeking mission oriented, purpose driven teammates who are willing to push boundaries to learn and execute when things seem impossible. The ocean is the ultimate level playing field, anyone can go, but not many can build successful systems that can survive and thrive in earth’s last frontier. We get to illuminate the darkness, explore the unknown, and be first to see what we can discover. We can see everything on earth, except in the depths of the sea.
