Technical Program Manager

Amazon RIVR is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale.

Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, Amazon RIVR is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery

Job Description

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to serve as the operational architect for our hardware and safety-critical systems. This role is designed for a leader who thrives on complexity and can bridge the gap between ambitious product goals and the rigorous realities of physical engineering.

You will be responsible for driving products through a disciplined stage-gate lifecycle, ensuring that hardware builds are synchronized with Agile software releases. As a key partner to Product Management and a trusted advisor to executive leadership (VPs/SVPs), you will manage the balance of scope, resource constraints, and safety requirements to deliver world-class autonomous systems.
