Our Mission

Expand human ambition in the physical world.

Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.

About the Role

At Watney, the Engineering Program Manager owns the hardware programs that teach our robots new tasks - the fixtures and rigs that generate the training data behind robot autonomy.

This is a 0-to-1 role, and every program you run touches the robot itself. You build the schedule, the budget, and the cross-functional coordination starting with the first task.

What You’ll Do

• Own schedule, budget, and cross-functional delivery for the hardware programs that teach robots new tasks.

• Take a program from first build to validated, with no existing process to lean on.

• Work directly with the engineers designing and building the hardware - enough to earn their respect, not to do their job.
