• Global Logistics & Trade Project Manager for Client's Robotics Program – moving hardware across borders, orchestrating a cross-functional network of partners, and automating the workflows that keep material flowing. 5+ years in global logistics, international trade, or supply chain operations. • 5+ years of experience in global logistics, international trade, or supply chain operations; hands-on experience with customs, import/export, HTS classification, and cross-border shipment execution; experience in hardware, robotics, or manufacturing logistics environments; demonstrated track record automating or digitizing operational workflows; strong cross-functional program management skills.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Global Logistics Execution: Own international movement of robotics hardware end to end – Inbound from Asia-based suppliers and CMs, inter-site transfers, and final-mile delivery to labs – selecting modes and routes that balance speed, cost, and risk.
  • International Trade & Customs: Partner with Trade Compliance on import/export documentation, HTS classification, country-of-origin, duty and tariff exposure, and broker coordination; resolve customs holds and clearance exceptions before they become schedule slips.
  • Workflow Automation (a core focus of this role): Replace manual tracking and status-chasing with automated workflows – build dashboards, alerting, and AI-assisted
  • Cross-Functional Program Leadership: Serve as the single connective point across Procurement, Trade, Hardware Engineering, Program Management, Finance, and lab
  • PO-to-Delivery Ownership: Track purchase orders from issuance through delivery, holding partners to committed dates and proactively escalating risk with a recommended path forward, not just a flag.
  • Supplier & Partner Performance: Manage forwarder, broker, and vendor performance against delivery and clearance commitments; onboard new logistics partners as the
  • Network Design & Process Optimization: Lead strategic projects that reshape how material flows — new lane and routing design, warehouse, and inventory positioning,
  • Risk Mitigation & Contingency Planning: Anticipate disruption — geopolitical and tariff shifts, capacity crunches, customs policy changes, supplier delays — and build the contingency routes and buffers that protect program schedules.
  • Visibility & Reporting: Build and maintain the reporting layer leadership relies on for shipment health, landed cost, clearance performance, and project milestones.
  • Client's Robotics organization is building hardware that doesn't exist yet – and almost none of it is built in one place. Components come from Asia, sub-assemblies move between contract manufacturers, and finished units land in labs across multiple countries, often on timelines measured in days. This role owns that physical pipeline end to end.
  • We're looking for a Global Logistics & Trade Project Manager who thinks like an operator and builds like an engineer. You'll own the movement of robotics hardware from purchase order through international transit, customs clearance, and final delivery – and then you'll go rebuild the process, so the next hundred shipments move faster with less manual effort. This is not a PO-processing seat; it's a role for someone who wants to design the logistics backbone of a brand-new hardware program and automate the parts that shouldn't need a human.
  • You'll sit at the center of an unusually cross-functional network – Procurement, Trade Compliance, Hardware Engineering, Program Management, contract manufacturers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and lab operations in multiple regions – translating between all of them and making the handoffs disappear.

Skills:

  • Hands-on international logistics execution — cross-border shipping, freight forwarder and broker management, multi-region delivery.
  • Working knowledge of customs and import/export processes — documentation, HTS classification, country of origin, duty/tariff exposure.
  • Demonstrated experience automating or digitizing operational workflows (AI tooling, scripting, dashboards, system integrations).
  • Proven cross-functional program management across engineering, procurement, trade, and external partners.
  • Experience in hardware, robotics, or manufacturing logistics environments.
  • Strong reporting, data, and executive communication skills.
  • End-to-end purchase order / procurement workflow experience (supporting, not primary).
  • Dangerous goods experience.
  • Exp with Oracle, GTM Salesforce, SQL.
  • Exp w/ Asia to US supply chain.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin.
  • New-site, new-region, or new-lane launch experience.
  • Dangerous goods / lithium battery shipping certification.

Education/Experience:

  • Dangerous goods experience.
  • Exp with Oracle, GTM Salesforce, SQL.
  • Exp w/ Asia to US supply chain.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin.
  • New-site, new-region, or new-lane launch experience.

• Data Operations runs large-scale robot teleoperation and wearable data collection used to train robot manipulation models. The team builds the data pipelines, reporting infrastructure, and operator-facing tools that give the organization visibility into how much data is being collected, how efficiently, and at what quality. • We are hiring an experienced Data Engineer to design, build, and own the data models, pipelines, and reporting that this operation runs on. Today a meaningful amount of operational reporting is assembled by hand; a significant part of this role is replacing that with automated, trustworthy systems. • This is an embedded, high-visibility role rather than a ticket-queue role. You will work directly with robot operators, site leads, and program managers, translate their questions into durable data models, and own the numbers that appear in leadership reviews.

12 Months + Possibility of extension depending on performance and budget approval up to 30 Months.

Location: Redmond, WA (Onsite) The Client's Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. The Audio team believes that by redefining human hearing and developing auditory machine intelligence, our research will overcome the barriers of distance, noise, and hearing ability to enhance human connection and communication. Through our Superhuman Communication and Connection initiative, we develop and mature audio technologies for AR glasses and wearables, from early research through tech transfer to the product teams that ship them. We are seeking a contract ML Software Engineer to bring state-of-the-art machine learning out of the lab and onto the device. Research models only matter to our prototypes if they run in real time, within tight compute, memory, and power budgets, on the embedded hardware that powers wearables. This role sits at that boundary: you will train and adapt models alongside research scientists, then own the work of optimizing, porting, and running them efficiently on embedded targets. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a PyTorch training loop and in a C/C++ inference runtime on a resource-constrained device. They understand that on-device ML is a co-design problem, where model architecture, quantization, and the target hardware all shape one another, and they can make the trade-offs required to get a research model running on real hardware quickly. Familiarity with audio ML, computer vision ML, or audio DSP is a strong plus, as many of our models operate on multimodal (audio and visual)
